half-korean, half everything else. I really dislike los angeles koreans, though.

How it affects my "style?"

I've got these short assed mountain people legs. 30" inseam. I'm 5'10". Add to that: Asian Ass. I.e., I lack one. Ever have a large black woman standing behind you in line at Magic Mountain grab your ass and say "Goddamn, you really don't have an ass, do you? That is so weird!"? Anyway, short legs, no ass, really easy to get "diaper sag" with "modern fit" pants.

My long torso makes is near impossible to find shirts that don't ride up to my ******* shoulder blades if I so much as bend over to tie a shoe. Raise my arms and the hems come up to my *******.

I've got a barrel, mountain people chest (I wear a tight 46 in vanity sized blazers, probably closer to a 48-50).
18" neck
Long arms

Finding dress shirts OTR is an exercise in futility. If I size to my neck, I'm swimming in fabric. If I size to my chest, can't button the collar. Or, if I magically find an OTR that fits (mostly) neck and chest, the sleeves are 2" too goddamned short (longish arms). Ugh.

I've got a wide, flat face making shopping for glasses an exercise in frustration.

Add to that my asianish complexion which means my favorite colors (olives, military drabs, etc) make me look like I've got jaundice.

FML.

Aryan's were originally from India. They were Indian gypsy, go figure.
