You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Thread Is About You [Beauty/Fashion]

Blake T

Let me describe climbing shoess to you.

Think of your most uncomfortable stiletto.

Now imagine wearing that shoe, two sizes smaller.

Now remember how you complain about walking up hills wearing high heels and stuff? Pretend its ten times worse.

I've had two inch blisters. They were not fun.

Oh and they stink.

And after all of that? They still don't make your butt look better.

RawrBear

Or you could, and it would be double ironic.

Hey did I show you guys my awesome fetish boots?

I think they're awesome

I uh..I think I've been a naughty boy? :oops:

I don't know where this is going since Usagi wears the same size boots as me.

Well I know where it could go, anyway. :winky:

Hell yeah, she could rock boots like that if she wanted to.

You're way too into this.

I can't wait to meet you guys

Druhim

Honestly while I can appreciate those boots, we're not at all into that scene.

I mean, she could still rock those boots.

Yeah I know. None of the cool kids are into the scene.

Maybe they like how lumberjacks look.

That's cool. It's the people who dress that way as a "comment on working class sensibilities" or "ironically" or "cuz I'm not a slave to the man".

It's basically dressing in a way you think looks bad on purpose, and that confuses me.

People are going to wear what they:
1. Think they look good in.
2. Want to look good in.
3. Feel expresses their individual tastes.
4. Feel secure/comfortable/attractive in.
5. Can afford to buy that fits in with any of the above.

This is not confusing.

That's just the thing. There's a subset of people who specifically seek out clothes because they don't fit 1-4, and sometimes push 5 to get it.

I don't understand it.

I hold nothing against them, that'd be dumb. I just don't get it.

pooka

the shoes were gone; apparently the girl who bought them also wavered, and then disregarded spousal disapproval, heh.

so i picked out some tea, and then, realizing that i would be in my echoey apartment, with my cats, on Valentine's Day, decided to do it up single-girl big and bought myself chocolates, ice cream, a bath bomb and a mug in which to heat water for said tea.

i would not say this is precisely true, it's just more of a long con; stilettos are short-term. also, you get the adrenaline from climbing to compensate.

bowtiedseal

i'm taking selfies with my cat, eating chocolate truffles and watching the biggest loser. I don't know how I can beat this on valentine's day.

pooka

nice-smelling bath and formalwear.

Man. Wish I could speed up time to have my degree finished and already be moving out west. So many cool kids to hang with. I'm really tired of South Carolina.

Not really. You just get to kinda hobble around on the side of your feet and complain.

when was the last time you wore climbing shoes for the sake of fashion, Blake

you are missing my point

Blake T

You missed our dress up nights at the gym.

Blake T

I should've made a joke about Chinese feet wrapping.

laughingfuzzball

Bad odors are a good sign, because it may be an indicator of infection, which in turn may lead to the loss of one or more toes and an even smaller foot!

Druhim

Uhhh..

i think my shoes were not as intensive as yours, but while they certainly weren't great for walking around, they were tolerable for getting to the wall... and then i didn't notice them. YMMV!

Straightzi

I uh

I think I just got negged

Poorochondriac

Was it hot?

Blake T

Well I wouldn't have negged you if your shoes weren't so fucking awful.

Blake T

Horse face.

Zellpher

Negging is the worst. The concept behind it, the people who do it, just everything about it is goddamn terrible.

Controversial stance, I know.

Anyway, I'm gonna build an outfit around this:

http://store.skingraftdesigns.com/collections/mens-tops/products/hooded-jersey-in-black

Because I'd look good in it.

Straightzi

Like I got this message on OkC, and it was just a string of vague insults

Or at least seemed it

I'm not exactly a guy typically swimming in messages either, it's pretty rare for me getting an unsolicited one

Maybe I misread it or something, it was a bit confounding

Zellpher

Maybe they're just incredibly socially inept.

Or a jerk.

Blake T

Straghitzi I lied.

Your shoes are amazing. I'm sure of it.

Straightzi

As dearly as I love my shoes, they're more worn out than anything these days

I need new ones, but I fear I shall never find a pair as fly

sometimes I worry that I neg, because my method of flirting is very elementary-school-playground kind of stuff (except in this thread, where I just drool all over everyone). in real life I tease fellas relentlessly under the guise of banter but I think it's pretty similar.

Blake T

Jesus Kate that means you're in love with everyone.

World as Myth

no I just flirt with everyone. I can't stop, it's a disease

Like, I do this too.

I get that.

If I am mean to you, it generally means I am comfortable with you and like you. I am kind and polite to strangers and an ass to my friends.

This was just clumsy though.

Straightzi

Whatever, no more dancing around it.

Here is what was sent to me:

I'll be straight with you, usually I don't like "theatre" kids because they're always actin' a hoe, singing and whistling, walking on their hands and shit ...But you have a nice head of hair so I decided to say hi. No coffee is not a food. Saying coffee is your favorite food is like saying cereal is your favorite drink. I believe the expression goes, "Jack of all trades, King (or Queen) of nothing." It's a good one, maybe you'll want to use it sometime.

Blake T

I'm not sure if that's negging but its a pretty douchey message.

interrobang

flirting is just way too fun man

Straightzi

Yeah, that is probably all it is, in the end.

Whatever, I'll check out her profile in the morning. Too late to deal with this shitty flirting.

I totally did this whenever I was single. I don't really make fun of them for looks, but just generally teasing and butts-of-the-joke sorts of thing. Made me "one of the guys" but some dudes took it as interest and it got me laid back in the day.

I still kinda do it when I'm around a bunch of guy friends, because they're doing it to each other as good-natured ribbing. Mostly, I just do it around people I feel really comfortable with, cuz I take it every bit as well as I give it.
