Either that or they think it was distasteful to bring up this topic and create this poll. They are probably right if the latter, definitely clueless if the former.

You're going to have to create your own poll to answer that. Being the least voted for bad taste =/= being the most voted for good taste. Not sure which is better btw...

Why do you always have to dissect everything into a semantic analysis? It means whatever it means to whoever reads the question

I knew I should have posted more pics. I would easily be number one in this contest. LOL!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm actually surprised I didn't get more votes.

What percentage of the people who voted for me based their vote on one particular outfit or one particular sportcoat, I wonder? Or based their vote on their dislike of my "Internet personality"?

At this point the top 10 should be put up for the bad taste championship. Make it a public poll so we can all insult (er, provide constructive criticism to) each other out in the open.

Also, the same list of 50 should be put up for good taste, followed by the top 10.

To be fair it was more like 5 or 6 outfits in addition to the one you're thinking of, a few pairs of shoes, a deerskin bag, etc, etc.

Deerskin bag? Bad taste? That bag is sex, son.

I think someone should gather 4-5 outfits that are considered bad taste from each of the top 10 members and start a new thread.

Prizes:

kitonbrioni 151 - boots made of nutria suede, or perhaps human skin? (Vox, can you call your people and have some sent from Boston's skid row?)

Mr. Moo 136 - Off the rack Rubinacci coat made of asbestos tweed (thus, flameproof)

SoCal2NYC 99 - Matching velvet eyepatch and grocery bag set, preferably bedazzled with rhinestones; diamond plate flooring for the new place

NewYorkRanger 71 - A big southern plantation owner hat to go with that white suit; a full-time, live in nanny (for the new baby, not for NYR)

SkinnyGoomba 51 - a W-2 from a New Jersey trash management company

Connemara 50 - a girl

PandArts 49 - A crewcut

Holdfast 47 - the camera from Willy Wonka that shrinks things - shoot all suits at 87% due to weight loss (note - I need the same thing)

mafoofan 43 - A seventh pair of Alden Cordovan longwings - one can never be too safe

Neofinitia40 - a bionic knee
