really like the tie, deets?

i have a hard time accepting the longer back blade, but maybe because im not spreezy enough to pull it off.

Gotta agree with sugarbutch on that one IST. Maybe without the tie and a plain light blue shirt?
Not a fan of ties with jeans. That jacket does however go really well with the jeans
I'm wearing an old jacket (10+ y)I still have from secondary school. We had a liberal dress code (SC+tie) rather than a uniform.

Corneliani
Mastai Ferretti
H&M
Edward Green

very nice.

btw, is that background photoshopped, and where is it, italy? it looks european to me.

Critiquing is fine but if one has no interest in understanding or appreciating aesthetics other than the one that fit in one's little box, then I'm not quite sure I see the point in simply repeating "bad, bad, bad" when all you're saying is that you disapprove of their aesthetic. IMO, critiques need to understand the context of the outfit and wearer - and if they don't, they fail and are a waste of everyone's time. Like acecow's (and to some extent Rambo's) forays into SW&D WAYWT with useless attacks - yes, drop crotch pants will have a rise that's "too long" for someone who doesn't approve of that style, that's the point alright... and there's little point in this kind of comments. If you don't understand or subscribe to an aesthetic or style, why waste your time? I don't go on fedora lounge posting "WTF? who wears top hats nowadays?!". Some people are just very reactionary when it comes to style - these are not the ones I want to read constant disapproval from. I'd much prefer reading disapproval and useful critiques from those who know what they're talking about and can modulate their comments within the overall context of the fits.

very cool, thanks. but how do you remove your head from the pic so well, and still have the brick background, that would otherwise not be there?

Crat · Sep 6, 2012

Ah, I thought you meant the colours. I did use photoshop to cut out my head. Used 2 layers, the pic with me in it infront of one without me.

Came across this, might be an interesting way to contrast MC "Perfection" with what women actually "want"

sugarbutch · Sep 6, 2012

So, she wants her boyfriend to be a Ken doll she can dress up according to her whim?

gdl203 · Sep 6, 2012

Looks like Kaplan and timotune made it to this girl's eye candy list :fistbump:

Blackhood · Sep 6, 2012

Even more MCers appear in this one:

Its worth noting that The Chive and The Berry get tens of millions of hits per day.

Every MCer who gets on there should be rewarded for their Real World Steez TM C Patent Pending
