I realize this question will probably resort in Fumma telling me to read a book on Introductory Aesthetics, but does anybody have any good literature they could point me towards that talks about body ratio analysis? Basically I've been thinking about the need to assess the shape of one's body based on a series of measurements (head length, neck length, hip width, etc.). Using these measurements, a series of ratios could be derived that would help to compartmentalize (not the best word when talking about subjective style, but you get the idea) one's body type. Then one could draw upon a list of techniques specific to their own body type to highlight certain features and/or de-emphasize others.

Try your local plastic surgeon's office. the waiting room literature is prolly full of the **** your looking fer. sure there are many like you whose insecurities publishing companies could feed off to produce **** like that.

Just received my pair of Uniqlo Black waxed skinny jeans, expectations/reality below:


Expectations:
-flimsy, poplin-like fabric
-****** wax coating that shone like faux leather in direct light
-bad fit a la the model on the site

Reality:
-Decently thick denim material, perfect mid season weight
-Perfect slim fit w/ 6.75" hems and just enough stretch to be comfy
-Somewhat rigid despite 2% spandex
-Waxing is really subtle, and actually adds a really nice depth/shade to the deep black

For $50, I'm ******* pumped!

Cheers man, exactly my experience with these. Only qualm is that they smell strange, but whatever.

The Alden thread users are calling each other by pretend family names now. What the hell.

Was one of the first threads I subscribed to when joining SF 18 months ago. Unsubscribed a month ago partly because of evolving interests, but mostly because of the creepy nonsense.

Felt good man.

Well one of the users's usernames is "uncle-something" but now they're calling each other "nephew" and "sister" and ****.

got an official job offer today, feels good.

salary is decent. very livable (and then some) for my position in life. maybe time to finally buy a toj?

will also allow me to get a ph.d for free, and the benefits are mind blowing.

defending the thesis tomorrow. and then probably going to spend four days eating pizza and drinking.
