Six months after joining and hungover on a Saturday morning, I've finally finished reading through this entire thread. I can't tell whether this has been incredibly enlightening or if I should just want the however many hours I spent reading this of my life back.
My RFTs:
- It took my a while to figure out why so many people had pictures of attractive women in their profiles. Eventually I figured out that it's because they're nice to look at. My profile picture is of me, though, so people can recognize me if they meet me outside of the Internet.
- Initialism/acronyms are ubiquitous here, and they're hella confusing.
- As are diffusion lines. I was a couple hundred pages in before I figured out that DRKSHDW = Rick Owens.
- ****-fights over nothing and "designer so-and-so was better before season such-and-such" posts get old quick.
- Fashion industry droplets of wisdom from Impolyte are pretty fantastic.
- naaaaate (wrong number of a's, I'm sure) is the best poster ever.
- I still don't "get" drop-crotches, dickflaps, and drapey (like, femme-level drapey) stuff (the three d's of gothninja?)
- Ditto white trainers. They mostly make me think of old people, American tourists, and the women you see in DC walking/taking the Metro to work who wear them while commuting and keep their work shoes in their oversized bags to change into once they get there.
- Ditto huge tongues on trainers, and the moc toe/massive crepe sole combo on boots. Most of my footwear preferences probably spring from the fact that I have kind of large feet and that I think anything that makes my feet look bigger is horrible.
- I can understand the hate on graphic t-shirts of the Ed Hardy/Affliction variety, but if I don't wear concert t-shirts with indie rock bands' names on them, how are hipster girls supposed to know that they want to ******** with me?
</incoherent internet mumbling>
Also, Freshness Burger > In n Out, 5 Guys, &c. (double SF win: 1. saying that something people have already said they like is trumped by something more obscure and 2. casually bringing up that I've been to Tokyo).
