Maybe I'll post my fits on lookbook.nu

I checked it out once but it looked really young and hip and queer. The guy on the top right, currently, looks like he came from some sort of high-end Hot Topic and sowed some playing cards to his pants. The second girl is cute with her varsity. The third guy, I guess his fit is good (i.e. slim and fitting) but if he's not in a band than he needs to be or he's just a ******* poseur and needs a neck-chop from Liam Neesom a la "Taken". And his waist looks smaller than mine meaning he must be anorexic or generally sick or have some eating disorder purely to look good in little clothes.

Do you think my fits will go over well there, uncontrol, or will my beyond generic, one year too late, Americana/lumber-jock style just be laughed at and/or ignored? They all seem like professional images. Like a page out of one of those throw-a-way Macy's mailing catalogs showing what's hot and coming up next season. I don't know if my iPhone 3G can support this potential initiative.

I always look good. But occasionally suffer from low self-esteem. So do require constant validation of not only the way my clothes fit, but also my physical condition and overall look.

So yes, I do seek approval from those people. And just about anyone who will give me attention as a result of my appearance on the internet.

Dude, I hope you're joking. This guy looks like a fuckin' weasel. Without makeup I bet he looks awkward and adolescent as ****. look at his chin pubes and angsty white-crossed notebook and red studded backpack and look how calm he looks as that apple literally hovers in the air. like a cool calm air of indifference not caring if its just lands on the ground and bruises or gets dirty

I know a few Baltimore kids in real life that lookbook it up (both literally and figuratively) who are really cool people. They are a lot of fun and always have a steady supply of art students to sleep wtih....

I just sometimes browse it, and ask myself why the **** this person has so much hype...and then I see their face/body and it all makes sense.

it also seems like they all share each others looks on each others blogs to increase their hype levels

I've never seen a negative comment on lookbook ever, which makes it useless as far as I'm concerned.
