Snowman, before I start...yes, there is definitely a touch of the Basilicato or Calabrese peasant to you...but that's no insult, is it? I must say what I see...if I describe Ivrii's fit as "Behold! A Japanese princess!", members will think I'm nuts...
Now for your fit...O Madonna!
At least you are not bursting at the seems like Reedobandito, so I think you actually can afford to buy things and can choose which items to buy and at what size...you just don't buy whatever's on sale and force it onto yourself with 3200psi of pulling...
The colour scheme is good...black is never wrong. The problem is the shapes--and it ruins everything. The bottom half is stormtropper...right down to the military looking pants tucked into what look like army boots...The top is not that awful....the shirt and the sweater are actually quite nice, and sized perfectly...the texture on the sweater is military again, so I assume you are going for some sort of military look...but the jacket is bizarre and horribly misshapen. What it all adds up to a cartoonish, horribly sinister blob on the horizon...almost ape-like...maybe even demonic as Tweenspirit pointed out...the thing is you are classically proportioned, and nice clean lines will look very GQ on you...
Finally Snowman--
your thyrso (base of your vine tree) is still not covered! This is a clothing forum, and it must be freezing cold there! You can just tie a piece of cloth or even piece of tinsel around it, just symbolically...In the pagan mythology, when the thyrso--who had asked for so little and given so much--was left unclothed...Dionyso himself came down and "clothed" it with his arm...whence it dripped with milk and honey...


When I read this and looked at the accompanying pic, I thought "vine tree" was Miran's euphemism for a part of snow's anatomy. I didn't quite understand what Miran meant in saying it was still uncovered, and then when Dionyso clothed the tree and made it drip "milk and honey," I thought Miran was just being obscene. Then I realized he's referring to the literal vine tree in the pic. Boy was I confused for a moment.

Also: that which we call a Stanley by any other name would smell as sweet

Please do not overanalyse the pagan mythology! We are all become good Christians now and all the temples to Dionysio are destroyed and become ticket booths for hoards of Japanese tourists wanting a photo of themselves clothing the thyrsos.

We abandon Dionysio and turn his temples into a place to collect foreign exchange and look what happens? he visits us his wrath with the crushing debt!!

The jeans were old baggy jeans I took through the sewing machine to make them slim...

I could really nitpick with a lot here, but I'll limit my complaints to the scarf. It's incredibly difficult to wear a scarf without outerwear and not look affected. It looks even tackier when the scarf is visibly branded. By the look of the "G," I'm assuming there's an equally obtrusive "D" nearby. Either ditch the scarf or put on a jacket.

There is no "D" but I get your point. I wore a grey peacoat over it so normally you won't see it. Thanks for the comment though!

ill have to try that! yeah, LCBO is more about quantity and if a winery cant produce the quota then lcbo wont carry it.
cascina adelaide is my uncle's stuff and now i can appreciate it much more.
did you know they dispose of 40-50% of the grapes because the flavour is at the top; bottom ones are less flavourful :teach:

So much better than the last running at the camera flexing your traps whilst holding hands with trolls and wearing a t shirt and jeans and a dumb hat pic.
