weyes Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 everyone is entitled to his/her own sense of style - whether it be one you care for or not. i send that one out to a certain someone, who fervently told me that my wisdom for the day should be that, "men hate one-shoulder tops and girls only wear them because they think men like them and to compete with other girls." <--- i guess this may be just yet another wisdom of to each his/her own, but just stressing that, no matter how ugly you think something is, the other person can rock it on his/her own, after all, it makes him/her happy, so rock on !

vicman Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 totally, if i feel like wearing a yellow track suit with a bright red t-shirt and construction boots to the office, by all means i should be allowed to do so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyes Posted August 12 Author Report Share Posted August 12 construction boots do get mighty hot, though; not so great for the summer . i don't know how construction workers stand it. they must have to fight off athlete's foot in a major way .

georgym Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 It's one thing to have your own style, blending all types of styles and what not..But it's another thing to try and revive fashions that SHOULDN"T be revived, or brought back to life. Case in point: 80's fashion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case in point: 80's fashion it can't be helped. it's the "every twenty years" thing: designers are in their twenties, and start reminiscing. that's why there was all that stupid embroidered bell-bottom crap (some of which still remains) and clogs in the 90s, and why there's the assymetry, and torn stuff from the 80s back now.

vicman Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 does it ever happen that you get your hair cut and then it takes like a day or 2 until you get used to it to really see if youlike the cut or not?i recently got mine cut really, really,really short...almost semi bald, just had the little stubs of hair, i was just getting tired of having to get a cut every 2 or 3 weeks because my set of hair is kinda thick, with the hot weather i just cant stand it if it grows out a litle. i also just wanted to change my look a bit for a while at least.that was 4 weeks ago, i'm thinking of getting it trimmed a bit this weekend and slowly getting back to the old look, the cut that most guys have...shorter down low and a bit longer on the top.

weyes Posted August 17 Author Report Share Posted August 17 Originally posted by vicman does it ever happen that you get your hair cut and then it takes like a day or 2 until you get used to it to really see if youlike the cut or not?almost always. and it's true when i see other people's haircuts, too; if a friend gets a haircut and asks me if i like it, i'll have to take a day or two to really take stock of it and get over the initial shock in order to make a fair judgment.

weyes Posted August 18 Author Report Share Posted August 18 Originally posted by vicman what about coloring? have you ever colored your hair? only for halloween, and that's for two reasons. i'm not really into coloring hair in general; i just think it's phony. and women who color their hair - which is the majority of them, it seems to me - always have some degree of roots showing, and that's unattractive, too. but people have a natural hair color for a reason, too, that being that it goes well with their coloring, all on its own. and why does everyone wanna be blonde, anyway? it's not just here in california; people on the east coast want to be lighter than they are, too. i say, rock what you've got and show yourself off.but i almost always dye my hair every halloween, 'cause i go all out for whoever i dress up as, and that means that wigs are a copout . the first time i started the halloween dyeing madness was in '96, when i was xena (dark brown). since then i've dyed it to be daphne (orange-ish) from scooby doo (my friends and i were the whole gang), bettie page (black), and ann-margret (redhead-red). this year i really wanted to be debbie harry or goldie hawn, but i don't wanna bleach my hair blonde, so there goes that idea . i'm considering shirley temple...

vicman Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 i've never colored my hair, but i think its ok, if one wants to look different, although if your always coloring it then there might be something weird going on with that person, i.e. not happy with their own appearance, etc.anywho, since i'm already starting to see white hairs pop up on my scalp here and there (the age thing) i decided that i would just let them come out and not color my hair in an attampt to cover them up.

weyes Posted August 19 Author Report Share Posted August 19 when i was a kid, i always had crushes on adult celebrities, not teen idols. and i always thought prematurely grey hair was particularly sexy. i think it's 'cause a friend of my dad's i had a crush on had totally white hair, and it was just so rare and cool. perhaps being a steve martin fan added to that, as well .

weyes Posted August 21 Author Report Share Posted August 21 i just did a super-quick search and only found black and whites, too. weird. funny, too, i never thought about why he wasn't making movies anymore; i didn't think he was dead, for some reason. he was only 50 when he died (lung cancer).i haven't seen many of his movies, but the getaway is definitely a standout in that genre. his being in it is just an added bonus . one problem i have with him, though, is that when he calls women, "baby," it sounds terribly forced, kind of like when kevin spacey curses. i just don't buy it.

weyes Posted August 22 Author Report Share Posted August 22 smoking isn't cool, kids . seriously, only a few of my friends don't smoke, although the number that doesn't is increasing as i get older. i smoke a clove every once in a while, "every once in a while" meaning that i bought a pack in january and still haven't finished it , but i've never been a smoker. color me a rebel .
