Man rant.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

How can anybody like CLOTHES? They are the most BORING objects in the goddamn OMNIVERSE. How the netherworld can anybody enjoy watching a bunch of too-thin people walk back and forth with random stupid fabric applied on them? Or looking at magazine photos of the same?

Now, computers. Stereos. Cars. PVRs. Musical instruments. Sex toys. THOSE are cool inanimate objects.

End of rant.

4. I loathe fashion with a passion!

Also hate shopping... well, for myself. I like shopping for gifts though. :)

7. You're a poet and didn't know it

:P

2. Art is art. The medium is irrelevant.

:P

15. FTW

:thumbsup:

(Though I DO appreciate the OP's sentiment. Some folks just get way too far gone with that shit.)

5. I went out to buy clothes for a Thanksgiving dinner I will be attending and somehow ended up with a

digital camera instead. I guess I'll be wearing the same 'ol rags to dinner (but will have great pictures of the occasion).

Computers > Clothes.

6. Have you never owned a pair of Levis 501s?

I rest my case.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. I buy cheap generic jeans when one of the two I own wears out. -nt

[Heidi]

9. You've _never_ owned a pair of Levis 501s???????

Really?

P.S. 501s are so common that they kinda _are_ cheap, generic jeans.

[kick-ass-bob]

11. Levis are for people with no ass.

Therefore, I cannot wear Levis. :P

10. I'm a chick who likes low-maintenance clothes

I think you can be comfy and still look okay.

Jewelry, high-heeled shoes, stupid purses that fall off your shoulder and scream "take me" to pickpockets--well, not so much.

But techie toys and musical instruments--awesome! Collecting stuff just to have it makes no sense to me, it's gotta be a tool to further your creativity. My camera is my newest passion, because I have some great Adobe software. So I'm buying frames and I'm saving up to replace my printer with a laser.

Who needs fly-by-night fashion when it just cuts into your savings for what's relevant?

14. Same here, I wear clothes from 20 years ago and I don't care.

I'm happy in t-shirts and jeans. But books...now, sometimes I wish I had 6 pairs of eyes so I could read 3 books at once. These days I check them out from the library but tend to buy history books when I can get a B&N discount coupon.

12. I agree, except when clothes are sex toys.

[Westegg]

13. I assume you don't possess a vintage Brook Bros. top hat...

..from 1915. I do. And I wear it well, if I do say so myself. I also own a full line of classic, hand-made MacIntosh stereo equipment from the 1970s, a 1971 BMW 20002tii, fully restored, a '58 Gibson Les Paul once played by Jimmy Page, and a circa-1925 18kt. platinum Art Deco dildo I purchased in Prague. Not that I need an extra appendage, mind you, but let me say simply: the ladies start moaning as soon as I whip it out.

My friend, a man without style limits himself. And fashion ("Clothes," as you so crudely put it)is a subset of style. There are those who say that style can be learned, that it can be bought. I disagree. A man either has it or he does not. I have it. Which is why the ladies don't ever seem to mind that I'm living with my mother in a trailer home across the road from a prison in Parnsip, New Jersey.

My point is, style goes a long way.

18. I'd love to actually comment on your post...

But after the mention of the "circa-1925 18kt. platinum Art Deco dildo..." Words fail me entirely.

[JVS]

16. I'm not a huge fan of clothes, but if you wear the right clothes people treat you better...

and I could totally see how some people could start digging some of that elevated status through good threads action. What kind of sex toy is going to pull that off for you?

[kimmerspixelated]

17. Clothes are a form of expression.

Also, if something really looks good, or even semi-good AND is also comfortable...it can transform your whole day. It's like having a fresh haircut. It's a mood enhancer, so therefore it's a good thing! I like shopping for clothes at the thrift store, that way I don't feel like I'm wasting much money and recycling. But I usually have to buy my pants at the firsthand place!
