DontMockMySmock: Aug 9, 2008; I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

30 Years War general Alessandro Dal Borro.

I wonder if he has the record for the heaviest soldier or warrior in history. Plus, I know fashion was different back then, but his hair is so weirdly shaped.

Baggy suits were popular in 2003:

Bottom is the 2013 draft class, and those dudes look smooth as hell.

It's kinda weird to think though the age when everyone finally has a cell phone in their pockets that is basically a must have now, is the age when tightness becomes the biggest trend.

I prefer the fitted look no doubt (I had fitted jeans in high school in 2003, I was uncool then), but it is funny that now we all have big bulges in our pockets all the time. I guess it's time to go full European in the States and carry murses.

What's more awkward; The people trying to emulate a Japanese maid cafe, or the people that will want to go there?

The former might make money, so the latter are definitely more awkward.

Well, if you're wearing a suit, you should put it in the inside front pocket of the jacket. It might still bulge a bit, depending on the size of the phone and the cut of the jacket and your size, but typically less than it does in your pants pocket.

Stripey pants are rad but what the hell is with the MLP thing? I can't believe it's actual official merchandise. I know they must be aware of all the wierdos but catering to them seems like an awful idea.

I guess if it's child size only it be less bad.

Another one of which, less often mentioned than the maids but just as awful of course, is Japan's host and hostess bars. Pay $100 an hour plus drinks for a complete stranger to inflate my ego? And I have to buy overpriced drinks for them too, even though they work there? Sure, why not, take all my money as long as they're really really good at pretending to love me.

This is what a strip club does, but much less expensive. Hope that helps.

There was a maid cafe at Otakon that had a similar set of rules.

At least it won't be as ill-advised as the (now closed) maid cafe in Detroit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2H-4OwbXKk

Speaking of which, anyone got an update on the guy with the otherkin cafe idea?

Wow, those baggy suits are really terrible looking. Everyone looks so much better now.

Except that 2013 clothes will look ridiculous and/or ugly to people in 2023.

And then good again in 2033.

As an old, I used to say, "Some styles are so terrible that they will never come back."

Then I saw several college-age girls wearing cropped overalls over striped t-shirts with plastic "jelly" shoes and ruffly anklet socks this summer.

So it's not just me. This summer I saw a high school age girl in overalls with a quasi blossom hat.

"What the gently caress is a blossom hat?"

"Whoa."
The instant I saw those images, my head was resounding with "Rmber dese? Lyke if ur 90''s kid!!!1"

This was also in the search results.

quote:

Just in time for the Cherry Blossom Festival�and for spring and summer beyond�-our favorite hat designer, Abigail Aldridge, has created exclusively for Woman Around Town four sweet confections that will be sure to turn heads.

The other three aren't so bad, but I can imagine the person wearing one of these just going around Chinatown and bowing with hands pressed together to every Asian person they see, going "Nihao".
