If there's one thing I hate to do, it's shopping; and the thing I hate to shop for the most is clothes (groceries a close second). Part of the reason for this, I guess, is that I could never comprehend the whole concept of "fashion", that you're somehow "out of it" if you're not wearing a particular brand or style of pants or sneakers or whatever.

Since I do my own laundry, and try to do so once a week (usually on Thursday, as it turns out), I just have basically enough of everything to last me a week and a half (should for some reason I'm not able to do it on Thursday). Since I work at home (and therefore, thankfully, don't have to "dress" for work), I have exactly one good suit and one pair of good shoes, which I use for everything from concerts to funerals (and no, they're NOT the same thing!!!). Aside from a few pairs of canvas loafers, that's just about it. Boring as hell, right?

One of my favorite lines from the original "Star Trek" series came in the episode "The Way to Eden", in which the Enterprise takes onboard a group of futuristic "hippies" who had commandeered a space cruiser to take them to the planet Eden. One of the hippies, in a friendly way, asks Chekov, "Say, brother, why do you wear all those clothes? How do you breathe?" Think about it! [Wink]

I know, I'm replying to my own posting; but I thought I might pass along an incident relating to being "in fashion".

A friend of mine is a teacher. One day one of his pupils came to school wearing a new pair of sneakers, the heels of which lit up with each step. After class, my friend couldn't resist asking the kid to stay behind so he could ask him about the shoes. It was obvious that the lights inside the shoe were being powered by a small battery also built into the shoe. What my friend wanted to know was what happens when the battery ran out: could the battery be replaced? The answer was no, it couldn't be replaced; so that of course meant the shoes would have to be replaced. The kid actually said this with a straight face!

I'm sorry, but that does not compute!

cause I have a question that I have been wanting to ask.

First, to answer yours:
I wear cargo pants and shorts from the Gap and BR. Like 8 pairs of pants and a million pairs of shorts.
I have too many t-shirts....way too many. Big baggy ones and fitted stuff. Like....whoaaa, I just went and counted and I'm not telling and who knows what's under the bed.
I wear jeans (7 pair) and overalls (3) too.
Hahaha !!!!! I have too many clothes. And I just noticed that most of my stuff is black....The angel of death look Smile

Never mind........can't ask the other one.

I also loath shopping. Though i bought a pair of geans last week I am in desperate need of more, what I have is starting to disintegrate. I work in a lab so we don't have a strict dress code, except long pants and no open toed shoes.
I can't ("") exactly But i like the one from OH GOD when Goerge Burns as God Said something like, I created ppl with no cloths on purpose and you can see what happened when they started wearing them. The next thing you knew they evented pockets and putting things in the pockets and getting selfish and greedy as a result.

I've always worn baggy stuff cause that's just what everybody wears and you're not supposed to look any different, you know, hidden behind the flannel shirt over the t-shirt thing...but the other night, I was going out and I pulled an old shirt out of the closet that was wayyyy too small. I put it on and it looked kinda good. But if I wear something like that here where I live, I'll just be asking for trouble, right? This particular old t-shirt has "bite me" written across the front but when it's not baggy, it kinda takes on a different meaning, do you think? I was looking around today and the girls all wear skintight stuff but the guys are all in baggies.
I guess I answered my own question, didn't I? Hide like always.
Hahaha !! I'm talking to myself.

...Kids actually wore these really tight clothes. Smile Yes, guys too, and shorts actually were SHORT, like ending well above the knee. Sometimes just below the butt actually... Now, I don't think we had shirts that said 'bite me' (tempting thought! lol), and they had these weird ugly colors sometimes, but it was darn nice anyway. Smile

It's so sad these days when guys go around in these tents (unless it's the low-rise kind of pants that almost falls off, hehe), fashion really is worse than ever, the sexism is rampant. Once upon a time there was this thing called 'unisex', I don't know if you've ever heard of it! Wink

Well let me tell you what it WASN'T though; it was not pants on girls so tight you see their G-string panties underneath, and pants so loose on guys a quarter of their boxer shorts sticks out at the waistline...

I'm up there with Kevin...and have more shirts than 45...Until recently, I had to have Hong Kong clothes (more formal and sometimes cold weather in winter) and Thailand clothes (always hot and usually more casual...

Then I have to have clothes in both the city apartment and the country house, and stuff expands to fill the available closet space!

Plus I usually keep clothes that are bigger and smaller than I presently am, cuz I tent to expand and contract depending on the state of my diet...hehehe

Man has huge wardrobes...never throws or gives anything away, ever. He always feels like he could use it again, whatever it is, even if he can't imagine when. I call the wardrobes in his room the "clothes museum" for that reason...

Hehe
