Ah, the joys of getting older

[vonSanta 0]

The 'does this woman not have any friends' thread got me thinking about how great it is to get older.

In my youth i dressed immaculately. Was all styley and stuff, wearing the 'right' clothes - sometimes even at the right time. Hair was always well cut and a well defined body from rock climbing.

Now, I'm 28. Dunno what the hell happened or when but clothes are now basically stuff you put on to cover your skin due to some people being sensible and having modesty issues.

Gimme a pair of green tweed pants with a hangy ass, and I'll wear 'em with pride. I'll even commend you for getting some that haven't too many holes on stains on 'em. No more do I object to wearing T-shirts with intelligent and witty comments such as 'Denmark - European Champions, soccer, 1992!', complete with beer stains from that era. As long as it doesn't smell, it's all good.

I cut my hair when it gets in the way or too much trouble combing each morning. And then I cut it really short, so the haircut will last longer. Usually try to get someone competent to do it; failure to find such a person (competent people aren't common in my world) I'll settle for a blind psychiatric patient with Parkinsons disease.

My tan is now a classical t-shirt + shorts one, and I'm sorta proud of the really white bits. My body hasn't deteriorated too much although it whines when I drag it up cliffs and bruises heal more slowly - but that's OK, coz I'm sure the chicks are impressed by a mangled blue-green-brown unevenly tanned body.

My future rig is pink. And purple. With yellow on it too - getting it for cheap off my sis who's getting a Javelin Odessey. Can't believe my luck - with a bit of luck she'll throw in a matching handbag.

28 and already a dumb, happy slob to whom cleanliness is a virtue but 'style' a dirty word.

do you have a gas oven?

namaste, motherfucker.

Oven?

Modern unnecessary inventions. As a child I disagreed with the idea of going from open fires to ovens, and I still hold the opinion it was about as stupid as human kind finally climbing down that primordial tree.

Had to say something, coz I'm either too old or too young to know what the hell you're talking about

Any pix in those tweed pants and that stained soccer shirt? heehee. :)

I actually never had a sense of style. I get dressed up now and again to go out on the town, but day to day I am no trend-setter. I almost exclusively shop on sale racks (75% off at dillards mainly). I never wear any makeup except for special occassions which are few and far between. I have long hair, but generally wear it up because it is easier that way and I don't have time to be combing it all day. I have a thousand lotions and potions, but when it comes to style, I just don't have it. . . And i'm only 22, so don't feel bad.

Well, I'll get a pic taken this weekend, wearing tweeds or something from my closet (which means it's bound to be unfashionable). I'll even wear the rig, so you can see just how cool it is. Even says 'My Dear Teardrop' on the back. I may be straight, but I love annoying homophobes .

I must warn you; if the only stuff left in my closet is my worst clothes, you might get an epileptic attack from the clashing colours. But it's for a good cause, I'm sure
Oh btw, you sound like totally unlike a person I would hate. You even had the good mind not to wear 'styley' clothes in the first place, which puts your IQ at at least 45 (or about 25 points above me).

Must go listen to the Russian anthem again. It does *sound* good. Wonder if the sequel will be better. And need more beer, too.

I know the feeling, when i was in my mid 20's everything i bought was Tommy Hilfiger, Greg Norman or some other high end clothing manufacturer. Now i couldnt care less, just an old pair of levi's and my doc martens and im a happy camper.

What a joke thread, right?

28 and you think you're old?

It was entertaining reading however.

That's funny, since I'm 23 and my basic style of dress is a pair of Levis or Wranglers, my Double-H boots (or my tore up work boots or another pair of boots) and a t-shirt. That or during the summer I tend to wear some sort of shorts (half the time a pair of cut off BDUs) and my Berks (berkenstocks) and a t-shirt.

So basically, fuck style, I dress in what I like and what feels comfortable. I refuse to pay $30 for some stupid looking t-shirt that's work $5 but has some deisgner's name on it.

Oh, I also refuse to shop at AE, A&F or any of those other high end "college kid" clothes places. Hell, I think half of my shorts came from the Old Navy clearance rack.

*shrug*

Atleast I have more money for jumping and beer that way...*cough*I mean I have more money for my school books that way.
