uncool fashion

[Tarot]

my mates and i were chatting in the pub; and the subject was that only fat people wear tracksuits, and big trainers, because nothing else fits them...I asked why big trainers and they said, for their big fat toes. Question being, Is it true. Is ther an army of hooded tracksuit fatties .whose only exercise is moving their mouths,chewing?

[nunheadbelle]

Are you drunk?

[berryberry]

or just stupid?

[Tarot]

Do you two wear track suits by any chance?

Was it a Wetherspoons pub, or somewhere not full of w@nkers, arseholes and Pecknarm poor?

It was the Palmerston. just the usual people there. You dont have to wear tracksuits. if ; there are cheap stylish clothes out there,.

I wonder when the first post will be edited?

If it's fashion, it's not uncool.

And if it's uncool, it's not fashion.

No?

This chap has a valid point. Just because you?re a bedraggled urchin or grimy ruffian with more chins on your neck than zeros on your bank balance doesn?t mean you shouldn?t make an effort when you step out for an evening at your local JP Winterbottoms.

I for one am currently resplendent in a outfit the procurement of which was almost entirely gratis consisting as it does of the satin evening shirt from my graduation party, gold serviette from last year?s Christmas dinner serving as my cravat, crocheted posing pouch fashioned out of the doily which I liberated from its decades longs subjugation upon the arm of Aunty Meredith?s wingback and snakeskin cowboy boots which fell off the back of a lorry in the Old Kent Road area back in ?98.

Or perhaps not as it would be a shame to take the sport away from the sort who sit around and discuss why they think they?re better than other people.

Cheap clothes? Of course. "If you're allowed to wear jogging bottoms, why aren't you allowed to wear pyjamas?"

Who said fashion's dead?

[louisiana]

Thankfully we have not reached the hoity-toity heights of the middle class housewives of the major cities of northern Spain, who feel it necessary to dress up in fur coat (no, it never went out of fashion there) and gold jewellery to buy their fish in the morning.

Brendan, I think that might be auntiemeredith's antimacassar...

[Brendan]

Not any more it aint.

[Brendan]

Well fur knickers are a bit impractical for everyday business like.

So if Johnny Fingers out of The Boomtown Rats went in there for some gin and fags they wouldn't serve him?

I don't think so, they'd be fawning all over him, thrilled at having a celeb in their down-market outlet.

The manager of the store would serve him personally and would probably escort him to the head of the checkout queue, likely as not shoving women, children and even the halt and lame out of the way.

Probably.

It's one rule for top-flight rock stars and one rule for Elaine Carmody, 24.

SHAAAAAME!!!

While we on the subject of fur knickers (and I believe that we are) I have today come upon the knowledge that the protagonist, deuterogamist and many other supporting characters of the Masters of the Universe, universe were so completely derivative of those from the world of Kull of Atlantis as to actually be plagiaristic.

It?s not everyday that a man has to face up to the fact that the fantasies in which his boyhood mind adventured were based on deceit.

[Tarot]

Tracksuits are meant to exerscise in.to absorb sweat when your moving. To wear them otherwise, slopping around in,and general wear is just crass,the bellys expand with the elastic waist. Generally they dont look good socially, there not very uplifting for the wearer.they are ugly ,and the people that wear them most are people who do not move much.

[Narnia]

Oh, so you weren't drunk last night then!

[RosieH]

Fur knickers = feel sensational, but you've got to know the cycle of your lady juices as they're a bugger to wash

[Brendan]

Tell that to Kull the Destroyer.

[RosieH]

Kull probably had panty liners with wings, which kind of negates the pleasure of the fur.

This girl obviously ...

doesn't know her * ahem* "cycle"

( the hat's an interesting choice though )

W**F

[dita-on-tees]

hmm I feel exactly the opposite, I would rather wear the skins of rare species of cute fluffy things than the shame and a likely asbo** resulting from being naked in a public place.

**providing they are still around.
