I recently just cut my own hair...mg, is it freakin' SHORT!!... :O...How's the saying go again??..."He who acts as his own barber will have a fool with a bald spot as a client"...

Or sumthin'...


lol I never understood how folks I know in college could give themselves a fade with the help of mirrors. Sheeit I get confused just lookin at one mirror cuz of the reversed image, much less using two to fade the back of my head.


lol

I only do mine because it is long...I would most certainly have to go on an expedition to find someone to do something that required such detail.

My feet are so wide that dress shoes don't fit right. If I don't wear thick socks, the shoes will literally eat through my feet. I've worn dress shoes with matching socks before only to have my feet START bleeding TWO WEEKS LATER. This is the case with ALL dress shoes (even those designated wide) and when I run out of thick colored socks, I gotta sport the Billie Jean look!

As long as the pants weren't high waters you could prolly slide by on that one.
9. The occasional refusal to wear underwear

Only done in the case of laundry emergencies, in which case this is only acceptable to wear on your way to the department store to purchase MORE underwear.
8. T-shirt that shows underneath a sweatshirt

I still do this. As long as it's a match--round neck sweatshirt with round neck t-shirt. It is totally unacceptable to wear a V-neck t-shirt with a round neck sweatshirt... the white t-shirt ring must go all the way around.
7. Tight iridescent shirt worn to clubs

Okay I can't help on you on that.
6. Cross Colors (when I was a kid I LOVED them not knowing that I wasn't supposed to wear them)

I loved Cross Colors...
5. Hyper-Color shirts! headbang
4. Raggedy old shoes I couldn't get rid of (until the soles were starting to become unattached)

Can't help you with that either.
3. Pleated jeans with the bottoms held up by a safety pin!

Were the cuffs folded inside? I used to do that... how about ironing the jeans with a crease!
2. BRIGHT ORANGE EVERYTHING
1. BRIGHT YELLOW EVERYTHING

I've been known to wear bright shit in my day and time totally ignoring color conventions for my skin tone.

You better believe they're not!...anymore redface

Only done in the case of laundry emergencies, in which case this is only acceptable to wear on your way to the department store to purchase MORE underwear.


Sometimes I just need that fresh feeling. lol

That's the only way to go- round neck T-shirt and a round neck sweatshirt- and they MUST match!

Okay I can't help on you on that.


I wore it during the Celebration! It was great fun. wink


I loved Cross Colors...


Me too, but they weren't made for me. sad


Can't help you with that either.


Oh, I've retired the Hyper-Color and the raggedy old shoes, but both hold a dear place in my heart!


Were the cuffs folded inside? I used to do that... how about ironing the jeans with a crease!


Folded outside. I gotta try that ironing bit!

I've been known to wear bright shit in my day and time totally ignoring color conventions for my skin tone.


Color is a MUST.
