I don't think Cheno would agree that you're "with" him. He's a bit more discretionary with his funds.

And nice clothes can be found on sale. Burberry had a huge sale on July 4. Nothing shabby about that.

There is no harm in it. But you live by a rule that says nice clothes cannot be had cheaply. It makes no sense. I don't care, I'm just commenting on the thread. If you won't buy clothes on sale, then your rules do govern your life.

MisterMatt, you said the magic word! I scored a $500 silk shirt at Burberry for $40!!

I am definitely a bit discretionary with my funds. Only after I make my weekly IRA contribution do I spend. And most of that spending money actually goes towards my voice and scene study classes. Bloody expensive, being an actor.

That's one of the things I love about not being an actor at the moment. I can afford to get out of debt. I should be completely debt-free by February. I'm so excited!

Posted: 7/12/05 at 5:01pm

Good for you. It sucks being in debt.

Cheno, you contribute to the Irish Republican Army?!

Why, of course! Doesn't everybody? *looks around*

oh my god...the flip flops with long pants must be stopped! It makes you look REALLY lazy, as in...I can't be bothered to think about anything THAT far down my body.

Disgusting! Especially in MEETINGS...hello? You are not at the beach, you are in a corporate building, you lazy-ass, flip flop wearing freak! Be an adult and put on some damn shoes!

*this rant is brought to you by someone who works at the corporate offices of one of the companies responsible for this disgusting trend and well as the manpris.*

I'm in shorts now and pretty much I live in Soffe shorts. Every color! Most of my shorts are soffe shorts :) They are only about $8 and you can get them at any sporting goods store. Most kids in my town own at lkeast 5 or more pairs of them.

hallelujah and praise god to help us in our time of need!!

Help us? No honey, God help those buying $20 trucker hats thinking they look dashing. They done sold their souls to be trendy. That's the work of the Devil himself.

[justme2]

Posted: 7/12/05 at 6:25pm

Damn straight....you are right, these poor souls need the help much more than we do.

We can always choose to look away.....

Posted: 7/12/05 at 6:26pm

My hat wasn't 20 bucks... more like 5.

And I like the way my flops look when I wear cargo pants. Don't knock it.

[Mister Matt]

Flops and cargo shorts = yes
Flops and cargo pants = no

Actually, it's not how much is paid for the hat, it is that fact that it is intentionally worn that is worrisome.

Repent! Repent! Repent! There's a fiery pit for ladies and a fiery pit for gents!

Posted: 7/12/05 at 10:25pm

NO! I will not repent! I love my hat!

Matt - FLOPS never! How could a self respecting man wear flip flops anywhere other than the beach. (Now, I am old!)

I'm sorry fellas, but men's feet are not suited for flip flops. They just look stupid.

I bought a pair of pants similar to gauchos and they are rediculously comfortable. I have little problem with gauchos unless its that tweedy material. That is ten kinds of wrong.

I've seen manpris only on this one gay manager at the Gap. He wears them with a pink polo with a pink cardigan neatly tied around his neck. Ugh. . .

Shorts are pretty much always in, its just a matter of the cut. The cut has to flatter your shape though. Shorter shorts are only to be worn by people with the legs to work them. Shorts are the worst thing anyone can buy in too small a size, next to a mini skirt. Old Navy tried to bring back the Bermuda Short which was a total waste of fabric because I have yet to see a Bermuda Short look good on anybody. They look like something my aunt would take her kids to soccer practice in.

I'm feeling the Boho chic right now. I love the earth tones and the flowy skirts with sparkly tunics.

Bless you fortheloveoflea!

The flop is never ok with long pants. Of ANY material. For god's sake, if your feet are so damn hot that they require flops, then your legs must be as well!! Put on the damn shorts, or put on a damn shoe!

Make up your mind, brothers and sisters!!!

*I apologize fortheloveoflea that you had to view the Gap manager in manpris and pink polo. They are always "encouraged" to wear the store stock, and you unfortunately viewed the results of such request*

OK, I love wearing flip flops, but for a specific reason. They force me to physically slow my pace. I'm one of those NY power walkers, and it's nice on the weekend to slow down and just stroll. Plus if you go to the park, you can kick them off.

[Mister Matt]

brdlwyr - The only reason I approve of flops and shorts is because it at least appears as if you are going to or coming from the beach. Flops and pants just looks like someone who either lazy or intentionally trying to be trendy, which always looks awful. Like jeans under a dress or skirt. One of the MOST ridiculous attempts at a fashion trend in recent memory. You might as well flush the dress down the toilet because its function and form have been completely wasted.

I don't wear flops with my jeans, but I wear "sandals". They're like..those little velcro sandals...I dunno..sometimes I run out of socks..so I can't put my sneakers on..

You don't want to come near my college then. We wear flip flops all year round (doen't matter the season/weather...rain, snow, sun) with any outfit.
