Did Byzantine emperor's have the fixture on top of the hat on a hinge so they could fit in a sedan without taking their hat off?

Just watched it and shared it with a few friends, this is amazing. I have no idea why their families put up with living in debt and squalor for the sake of their cosplaying habit, but they sure look fancy.




This is the one that got to me. His son looks absolutely terrified in the first background shot they catch him in which soured me even before he started relating the details of all the loans he's taken out to wear $3,800 shoes while his sister works in a field.

The taxi driver was so enthusiastic and had his priorities straight, that was a high note to end it on. On the whole I want to like these guys because who doesn't go :swoon: at a dapper suit, but, it's waaay easier when they're not sacrificing their families for their cosplaying addiction.

Aww. I hadn't watched the video. It makes me sad to hear that these guys are bankrupting themselves and their families for this hobby. Truth be told this probably happens a lot to people with shoe or purse addictions and guys doing this with suits is something I'd never considered.

I knew a girl who was spending > $7K a year on purses when she was making $30K. And her boyfriend had like 100 pairs of shoes.

It's coming back.
Last night on one of the national networks for one of the NFL games, one of the women on the sports desk for the game (so, nationally broadcast, not some local thing) was wearing shoulder pads bigger than some of the players that were STRAIGHT across. Like a drat capital T. I said "woah" outloud because I'd heard they were starting to make a comeback somewhere, but not like THAT

I lived in W. Africa for nearly 3 years (between Burkina Faso and Ghana). There are a lot of incredibly poor people there. Even people that worked fields had their clothes for going into town and they made sure they were cleaned and pressed. If you had a wrinkly shirt or a smudge on your pants they would just call you out for having dirty clothes. They don't have much so there is a lot of pride in what they do have.

remember frosted tips?

Something no one has ever been explained to me, and I hope the goons can enlighten me, is what point that kind of fashion serves. Like, is it just a big art show? Are they actually trying to get people to buy it? It's it a joke?

Like they spend so much money on it, it's weird

Some people have more money than sense. So much that they can't think of sensible ways to spend it. See also such things as yachting, golf, horse racing and this $25000 mug of hot chocolate:
