Random fashion thoughts

[robbie]

I am going to look for a red dunce cap, green uggs, and a pipe and light that thread up with my epic garden gnome steez.

I was just thinking the same thing this morning about AA. Grabbed a couple white v's in size L, and while the chest and shoulders fit, it's really long and billowy. Looks weird.

that Hold Steady poster is cool.

Why do stores like Gap, Lands End, LL Bean, etc. often display their shirts as if there were a phantom jogger running inside them? There is a real sense of motion and activity to their shirt's pose that is absent at stores that sell higher end stuff.

Do they believe that using male models might make the average guy whom shops at their type of store feel a sense of shame or "gayness". Do they believe that showing the shirts in motion subtly conveys the idea of an active lifestyle? (Similar to the rugged, active outdoor individualist model used to market SUVs). And perhaps this message of an active lifestyle helps to overshadow any fear of "fashion" which every red blooded American male knows is not cool!

It turns out you just used a magic incantation that mad me go listen to them ("them" being Andrew Jackson Jihad). Very good stuff. I'll be listening to more. Though I must say I didn't really like the NMH cover of theirs that I listened to. Someday I might hear someone do a NMH cover that doesn't just make me want to go listen to the original, but it hasn't happened yet.

My little ******* brother took my last hold steady shirt to college with him

I can incorporate a smashed Boys and Girls in America case and a cigarette burn scar from the first time i saw them in to the next fit though.

It took me like four years to start liking Separation Sunday. I should probably listen to their other records now.

Did you hear the jeff mangum cover he did for the chris knox tribute album? was weird to hear him play new stuff but he sounds good still


This radio station i guess has an indie hour or something at 10 and they did a folk punk 30minute block. There were some cool songs i liked but can't remember them. The only one i recognized was an against me track off their first album (back when they were still really good)

So many people wore X for Gap at the Met Gala.... guess that's the new 'in' thing? and Diddy wore Dries in an admittedly unoffensive outfit (Lanvin shoes? I feel like I've seen those ones somewhere) And this gem:

Diddy in Dries:

I really like this blue Ralph Lauren tux Chris Pine wore.

A few good outfits in that GQ article.

I was thinking of buying a blazer recently though so I looked at their sport jacket article, Christ on a bike what a mistake.

The article with Maxwell? Outside of Maxwell or Kanye, I don't think the ones they suggested can be pulled off well int he real world. This one isn't so bad though, RLBL.

Daniel Craig had a Burberry (assuming Prorsum) midnight tuxedo that was pretty damned sharp

Jacket looks huge on him though.

I couldn't sleep earlier (and still can't, if this post isn't a clear enough indication), so I was flipping through some of the On Demand music videos. Watched Maxwell's "Fistful of Tears" video and couldn't help but admire how sharp the guy looks in every suit I've seen him in. The jacket he's wearing in this video would require you to be an athletic black man or Dean Martin in order to not look silly. But since Maxwell falls into the first category, he's all set.
