This is is the type of gay boy you'll find at the Barneys Warehouse Sale.

wait, so one of her feet are fake there, right? amazing.

I can't believe the shoes Paul is wearing, they are those extreme rock scrambling slip-on water-resist suede types.

That guy is gay??

Once at the barneys sale there was a built asian guy (looked like GetSmart). with an Adidas logo tee on, except that instead of ADIDAS in block letters on the front of the tee it read "DIDHISASS". he might have ben gay.

The gentleman on the left just lost $220 million to the lady on the right. She looks better than him, stripper shoes notwithstanding.

i think attitude and swagger has a lot to do with it. Paul mccartney looks and feels like an old hag...i like the way Mick Jagger wears his suits these days, even though i imagine the average SF MC poster would balk. He wears tailored suits with chunky Nike athletic sneakers for chrissakes! But in this day and age, Mick's still a rock star. I think Paul's totally lost that spark.

? Well regardless, i remember seeing Mick in some magazines where he had a similar look going on. Also remember one of his memorable stage get ups, all Dior Homme by Slimane: metallic silver cutaway blazer, black t-shirt, electric blue satin jeans and black nike shox.

Is that your boyfriend? I note that this person has an album entitled "lesphoques." He knows how to have a good time.

Sorry, I was joking. My response to your post was in reference to what I posted earlier. I should have added a

When I read the comments you are making, one thing comes to my mind.

We the people at this forum are living on a different sartorial world than the 98% of the world.

The other day I went shopping, just to kill time, not to buy anything but just to have a look at the shops, so I didn't go to my usual places but to the mainstream shops.

On shoe shops you can hardly find any shoe that looks like the shoes people here like. I am not saying, same brand or quality. Not even similar looking.

99% of the shoes on many shoe shops are just plain "ugly", "plastic looking", "cheap" to my eyes.

On clothing shops, I liked a suit but it was one size bigger, there was not in my size, so I tried it on anyway. As you can immagine, the shoulder were large, fitted like a tent, the sleeves runned down to the beginning of my thumb, the trousers were baggy and stacked at my shoes.

But the sales lady there told me "it fits you perfect". I told her, "no it's a size too big", she insisted... "No that is your right size, this is the way a suit has to fit".

If you go out on the street, 90% of the people that wear suits ( that is a small part of the people ) wear their suits like this and their ugly shoes bought from the mainstream shops.

Yes sure, we can say, they are all wrong and we right.

But they are more of the 90% of people.

So in pratical terms, even if we disagree, on the general view, they are the ones who are right dressed no us.

Under that point of view, Macca is simply dressed like the world perceives as OK.

the suit is forgivable, perhaps even understandable. But you are telling me someone with $400 million in the bank doesn't have any dress shoes except these?

He just needs guided in the right direction but probably has one or two million, sorry other things on his mind at present.

Macca is reaching an age when comfort is far more important than sartorial excellence...

he will be modelling for Mephisto or Scholl very soon..
