AggieDave 6 #1 June 19, 2006 http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=2092965&page=1 Meterosexual to "Macho" now. Whats next, "middle-age-lives-in-mother's-basement-sexual?" Who makes this stuff up, who keeps track of it and why? There's really no rhyme or reason about it. I've been who I am and will continue to be who I am independant of these people telling us whats the popular look and personality and dress. Are there really a large number of guys out there that care enough about this crap to go and buy new clothes and change their hair cuts and such? I bought some new clothes just recently. When I went to Eloy I got a Holiday Boogie Shirt with my registration. The same will happen at Skyfest. So see, I'm constantly buying new clothes.

lawrocket 3 #5 June 19, 2006 QuoteWho makes this stuff up, PR folks. It's their job to tell those who care how uncool they look. Quotewho keeps track of it and why? They don't "keep track" of it. They create it, and hope it catches on. Remember the Lambada? Or Disco? QuoteThere's really no rhyme or reason about it. Sure there is. That white, pink and green leather jacket will last for 20 years. Such is bad for manufacturers. So you need to create the new fad to keep you afloat. It's like an everlasting set of pantyhose - brisk sales for a while, but then sales woul ddie out as the need for replacements dwindles. QuoteI've been who I am and will continue to be who I am independant of these people telling us whats the popular look and personality and dress. That's why you'll never be cool, Dave, until the fad catches up to you. You'll never be covered by the paprazzi. You'll have to pay a publicist a fortune to clean up your image and look. But when the fads become "AggieDave Chic" you'll find yourself disgusted to be lumped in with them. QuoteAre there really a large number of guys out there that care enough about this crap to go and buy new clothes and change their hair cuts and such? Yes, there are. In fact, there are television shows dedicated to what to wear, how to dress, etc. And all the chicks watch them. For those of the rest of us, there are staples such as the Man Show that demonstrate that we men who remain ourselves are okay. We've got company. My wife is hotter than your wife.

masterrig 1 #7 June 19, 2006 I wish, those guys would leave well enough alone! A guy used to be able to keep an old suit because, in 10 - 15 yrs., it was back in style! Except maybe, the Neru jacket. As for double-knit leisure suits... No Way! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #9 June 20, 2006 It's funny. I'm the only attorney in town I've seen in a 3-piece suit. Sure, it's an old fashion, but damn, they look great. Some things have a style that remain... My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I shit you not the last time I was in court one of the defense attorneys was wearing a white and blue striped seersucker suit with a white shirt and a red bow tie (don't forget the white/baby blue shoes). He was wearing it with confidence and pride. It was surpising for me to see that, but you had to hand it to the guy to have the confidence to wear that to court.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

BIGUN 1,504 #14 June 20, 2006 Actually, the 3-piece is making a comeback and I'm glad... I still like the Double-Breasteds Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
