The NFL is barbaric and passé. The NBA is where it's at for cosmopolitan forward-thinking bros.

my only interest is parsing everything someone says in case it's problematic so i can call them out.

one of my facebook friends just posted an article called "keep your hands off of my kimono, white people." i'm avoiding it for now because hardline views of cultural appropriation give me hives, but once i read it, i'll post it here and we can have a back and forth until fok moves the discussion to CE

Also, I read this originally as "Keep your hands out of my kimono, white people", which I think is a pretty reasonable request.

Ok, I just skimmed the article, and it actually makes a number of reasonable points. it's from a theatre magazine, so it's mostly about plays that cast all white actors despite being about characters who are japanese, native american, etc. I still wince when folks describe culture as a bounded thing that can be "stolen", and the author definitely does just that, but for the most part her main point is solid.

for pics of white guys in kimonos, stupid fashion, random 90's stuff, and also mundane moments from my everyday llife, follow me on instagram @windograms

also, the official EXTREMELY ADVANCED thread is up! please contribute and/or deride. while I've sort of just dumped a bunch of stuff without much context, the goal is to highlight unusual clothing, whether extremely oversized, covered in graphics/logos, or with weird and seemingly off putting details.

Can someone explain the pricing? Are these special materials/production techniques or is it just to sell to rappers and chinese aparatchik's sons?
Young Asians. In Roden Gray's (www.rodengray.com) Vancouver storefront. there is a big "Thome Browne." sign on one side, and a bit "Givenchy" on the other. I asked, point blank, why this was, and was told bluntly "Oh, it's because those are out best sellers, mostly Asian dudes with some money to spend.
"Some," is being modest. Peep this guy at 1:54.

Recently got a pair of LUC pants, but the hem is too wide for me at 7.25", and they're also too long. Should I hem to maintain the straight cut, taper for dem stackz, or both? Grazie~


Of you go to the gym for 3 weeks you'll probably find that hem to work well
