You look like a man, but you know that you're still a scared boy.
Okay team, let's do it for bun.

Deep red shirt (deep red colour - not deep like a well, or profound) from Austin Reed, I believe part of their 'Sportsman' collection from about 1968 or 9 or something. All I know is that the shirt is older than I am. I stole it from my parents' place a few years ago.
Red tie with green patterning - slightly frayed at the edges. Again, stolen from my parents' place. I don't erally like buying work clothes - I prefer to forage for them, like a tramp going through bin bags outside Oxfam at 7.00 on a Monday morning. The tie doesn't quite match the shirt, and the result is kind of eyefucking. It's like a magic eye picture and if you stare at it long enough it resolves into a picture of a defeated Londoner with an expanding gut and no future.
Black moleskin trousers - from M&S. I wear these every single working day, without exception. They are my work trousers. They're a bit grubby at the moment as it's the end of the week - a few splashes of food, and traces of semen crudding around the zipper area.
Black Wrangler boots - because I couldn't find my 'work shoes'.

Hmmm,
I have opted for the pinstripes today, as much as all this week. A bit like Thorn (except I never miss the bullseye with my cockjank) I've had them all week. There is a bit of a design flaw though. Around the crotch area. The chairs that I sit on ride the trousers up into the oblivion. If I stride more than one step whilst going upstairs they pinch each bollock like a sex starved sadist with each step once you've crossed over into the knacker zone. I like these trousers, but they don't like me.
The shirt is a standard M&S affair, made out of a handful of purple, mauve and white stripes. Ironic regarding that last line because all of the buttons on this shirt must be competing for the hardest button to button because there's a few missing through abuse and if I'm not careful to tuck the shirt in, you get an eyeful of grapevine.
Tie is purple and looks red if it's turned in the light. I imagine if you view it at the right angle, you could stare in a miriad of images from my past. Like the time I got so drunk I shit myself and burst into tears on a Jack Daniels bender.
Speaking of benders, my hair has had a hard days night. It's been working like a dog. And when I look at this do, I ashamed to tell you, that supercuts are rilly shite.
My hair is having a party like its 1965. I might go into the barbers and ask them to make one cut and drag my finger across my throat whilst sticking my tongue out to the side. That way, they won't fuck it up for the umpteenth time.

Waynster I'm not sure all that black would suit you. You are strawberry blonde/ginger are you not? I'm sure you are quite pale skinned and the contrast created may be a bit harsh. Have you tried experimenting with colours. Maybe a pastel shirt coupled with brown cordroys and casual white trainers perhaps?

I'm not so sure, I Am Not. Like me, Waynster doesn't have any tits to speak of, and black is a very flattering colour for this situation. Also, cords won't work with those hips. It's a myth that cords can be worn with a classic 'L' shape figure. Far better to go for some moleskin trousers, maybe from Next or M&S. Then, you've got more versitility with the feet.

For once, I'm totally in agreement with you, IAN. Honestly BR - what were you thinking when you got dressed this morning? Did you dress with the lights off? This really isn't acceptable, because do you know what I see when I look at you, BR? Do you know, IAN? I see a lovely pair of bright bosoms just bursting to be seen, and I think it's criminal to cover them up like that. People are going to look at you, BR, and think to themselves, 'now there goes a woman with a body image problem'. And, you know what, that's not really sexy, is it BR? Is it IAN? It's okay to have big boobs - I'd kill to go up just one cup size! I'm honestly shocked that you aren't swanning around with a wonderbra saying 'hello boys!'. I would be!

Yesterday the downfall of my life began: I bought my first shirt and tie. I'm happy to report I didn't know how to tie the tie. I had to use an internet tutorial. Pathetic, I know, but I don't really mind being incompetent at corporate stuff. I don't know how to wear the shirt either. Do you tuck it into your belt? Do you pull it out a little bit so there's a slight overhang all round your waist? I just don't know. My legs look about three times the size of my upper body. My face looks about twelve. The whole corporate look feels faintly ridiculous. Is this normal? I don't know how I'm going to get any employers to take me seriously.
Posted by Ringo (Member # 47) on :

Tuck the shirt into your trousers, then raise your arms above your head. When you lower your arms, the shirt should be hanging slightly over the stop of the trousers, but not too much Posted by Black Mask (Member # 185) on :

I call this "bouncer lite", and it can often be seen being worn by young asian men milling around Leicester Square on a Saturday night. The black shirt teamed with the grey suit is severe and joyless, suggesting somebody who takes their leisure time seriously. As worn on me, it suggests a man who is either gutless when it comes to fashion, or think he's hard.

The alternate approach, OJ, is to hand a camera phone to a colleague, get gussied up in the full outfit, and say 'oh, it's just for this interweb site'. Therefore you will spark weeks or months of speculation regarding on which dating site you have posted a profile. It's just what you need to add that little extra spark, excitement and intrigue to the drab office environment.

Today I am wearing:
Black pinstripe suit trousers
Lime colour 'skinny' T
Black long sleeve shirt
Black boots
and a tired let-me-go-home look

I always did love Claire. But I gave up on Six Feet Under some time during the fourth season when Ruth married the tall rabbi from ER, Claire had an abortion then went to visit her dead foetus-baby in heaven (wtf?), and all Nate ever seemed to do was cry into pillows and hug babies. I might download the new/final season though. If you think it's worth it.

Yes it does. But I'd probably still eat it. Puzzling.

Surely half the point of these threads is to talk with mild flirtation & titillation about what underwear you have on. (The other half is to show off your fashion taste or make self-deprecating comedy of it.)
It surprises me that Modge is the only one I've seen on this thread who was slapper enough to mention what type of underthings she had on.

Loads of people did. Err some at least. I'd prove it but my connection is running sloooooooooow today.

Posted by Benny the Ball (Member # 694) on :
I mentioned my pants in my first post, Kovacs - maybe I'm not wearing any today...
Posted by OJ (Member # 752) on :
Bloody hell Herbs, Darryn, London (& Froopyscot) - I'm not going to be nipping anywhere to take pictures. An air of mystery is far more alluring than the pixellated truth...
Hmm, I think she just about gets away with flat shoes but she's hardly giraffe-like is she? Not sure about the colour though....etc. etc.
Furthermore (furthermore!), I suspect it's my powers of sartorial description that are attractive rather than the outfit. You too can hone your attention to descriptive detail by practicing regularly in the Handbag fashion forum.
If you must, there's a photo of me looking quite severe in my moblog. Not in this outfit.
Kovacs, I beg to differ about the underwear question. I can't comment on the male viewpoint but I'm sure there have been a couple of mentions of undies - Kira's thong, someone else wearing a nude bra (sorry for forgetting your name someone else) - already and they do nothing for me. Unlike Herbs, I am a lez.
The look is far more interesting than the foundation garments. Especially if they involve the words "thong" or "nude". I'd maybe concede the point for French Knickers or anything involving the word "chemise".
Posted by H1ppychick (Member # 529) on :
That's kovacs jointly and severally told off then.
Benway, how might one "uncover" *ahem* the URL for the upload gallery?
Posted by kovacs (Member # 28) on :
I maintain that the girls posting on this thread could have made the effort to describe their underwear in a sexy way.

try the url for that picture of Fish. Or, search for the word "uploaded" across all forii, and the thread turns up in the results. Or wait until Misc helps me out here.

Darryn, the pigs were being shovelled out of the back of a van, which struck me as a vaguely amusing picture at the time. Obviously a slow picture day...
Or so I thought until various other mobloggers revealed themselves to be mad for 'em.
They also rhyme with figs, which I do like photographing.

Well, maybe I'm wrong, but the only reason I read this kind of thread is to skim down the names on the left until I find a girl I fancy, then look at her post to see what scanties she's wearing today.
Maybe it's not meant to be titillation for me. Who knows. I have been wrong before.
Posted by H1ppychick (Member # 529) on :
I'm so bored. I've been moving documents around on our fileserver for 3 hours. I think my brain has atrophied.
Posted by Darryn.R (Member # 1) on :
Why/where do they shovel pigs ?
Posted by OJ (Member # 752) on :
They were squeezy promotional pigs with a URL on the back, being shovelled out of the back of a van for students to hand out for the pleasure of the minimum wage* and wearing a stupid T-shirt
*Fact alert: conjecture.

Posted by OJ (Member # 752) on :
Thanks for badgering me into doing a picture last night. It was quite fun. But I'm not doing it again for every outfit - I'd be bound to get sidetracked anyway.
Fionnula, sorry I didn't reply to what you said about Six Feet Under. I would recommend this series, yes. I was a little unsure at the beginning as there was a heavy-handed use of dream sequences (IMHO). But it's matured and they're dealing with some Big Themes. Sounds funny to say about a series that has at least one death per episode, but anyway. Don't start watching now though, it's nearly the end of the series. Wait for the inevitable repeat.
Today, I am mostly wearing nothing very interesting at all.

Isn't she just Posted by Doctor Agamemnon When (Member # 189) on :
My wardrobe is currently groaning under the weight of all my recent eBay purchases (and now covers about 800 years). I've just bought 3 original 1950's shirts for no real reason apart from they looked nice and were my size. I'm currently looking for or bidding on a white tuxedo, some Victorian tails, and a bowler hat. I want one of those big shaggy white fur pimp coats, but suspect I'll need to make one... and I recently purchased (for a forthcoming "Dirty Vegas" evening:
Gold Sequinned Shirt
Gold Lame Jacket
Gold Sequinned Bow Tie
Horrible Cheap "Gold Effect" bling jewellery
All I need is some leopardskin brothel creepers and I'm ready. Should be a good night, that.
However, today is dress down day at the end of a week of "having no time to do any ironing", so we see:
Slip on "Chelsea Boot" type shoes, from George @ Asda.
Faded black jeans, from George @ Asda
Black Socks, from George @ Asda (non-crispy, pre-wanked socks)
Grey Boxer Shorts, from George @ Asda
A free "Microsoft MSDN" polo shirt I was given when I worked in Software Licensing about four years ago.
Guess which supermarket is in a direct line between my work and home?

Hmm... I've been going to a charmingly amateur Burlesque evening of late called the Diamond Rendezvous. It's a monthly thing and we seem to have settled on a fixed venue now - The Windsor in B'ham.
I reckon that'd be a great place for Midlander TMOnites. Just like this board it's quirky, dresses funny and is mildly pretentious.
There's acts, drinking, and some superb DJs for the "aftershow". I love it me, 'cos I get to dress up and get wankered.
The next theme is "Dirty Vegas" and it's on the 19th. Fancy it, anyone?

I've had some awesome evenings, I can assure you. I even compéred it once. Dressing Up is definitely encouraged... since I started going, I have bought a tonne of stuff on eBay to support my Vintage Clothing habit - and it's so nice to have somewhere to wear it in like-minded company.
Come along and say hello, Sidney. I'll be the one in Gold Lame.
