BWAHAAAHA!

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

*giggling* i have been called imp for many years for VERY good reason. :D

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

hehehehe :P

[leoprincess.livejournal.com]

I love you! :D

[write-light.livejournal.com]

Ladies in the back row, give it up. Ain't. Gonna. Happen.

[vintagoth.livejournal.com]

i think they just want those socks for themselves. I know I do.

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

I think they know that. I'm not sure what they're looking at, but it's not the guys.

[franklanguage.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking, "Betty's Gay with Midol!"

[bib-specialist.livejournal.com]

I think we lost something when we stopped dressing up like that everyday. Now most people dress like slobs. We have lost all sense of decorum.

[archanglrobriel.livejournal.com]

Ain't that the truth? I look at Mad Men and I just sigh and shake my head. People don't even dress nicely to go to work anymore..

[rhonan.livejournal.com]

The personal is political dear. What did you wear to work today, or the last time you worked, as the case may be in this economy? I wore a rather dashing tone on tone ensemble today; trousers, dress shirt, and sport coat of different textures of black, with a black check cravat to finish it off. I think both you and bib_specialist need to read the Chap Manifesto, and join the Anarcho-dandiest movement.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

heh. TheEngineer (who is a tall big man) wears "Texas business casual" to work. dark blue (or black) jeans, boots, suspenders, dress shirt with a tshirt underneath. (thats us in the icon pic)

its too hot most of the year for a sports coat, although he *will* wear one for client meetings. and he looks WONDERFUL in a pink french-cuffed dress shirt with a pink paisley tie. especially when he wears his charcoal pinstripe suit, and black fedora.

[archanglrobriel.livejournal.com]

I try to always dress to impress and assemble the right ensemble for the occasion. It's one of my O.G.T's (Obvious Gay Traits) although certainly dandification is crosses all orientations. Anarcho-dandiest movement eh? I had no idea there was any such thing. I'm in! Where do I enlist?

[rhonan.livejournal.com]

All Hail The Chap!" (http://www.thechap.net/content/section_manifesto/index.html)

[cionaudha.livejournal.com]

I laud this movement with my whole heart.

Some of my friends feel that I overdress, but what they really mean to say is that I dress correctly. I do not wear the pantaloons de nimes, and would no more leave the house in flip-flops than I would with a bath towel around my head. The less said about the visible-bra-strap phenomenon the better. If Audrey Hepburn wouldn't have worn it to the supermarket, then neither will I.

I believe in pearls, scarves, and the pleasure of taking pains.

I salute you, gentlemen!

(And I'm still gobsmacked in love with a man I saw on the street one night, wearing a 40s-cut light-colored summer-weight suit, overcoat around his shoulders, beautiful two-tone shoes, and a proper hat. It was like being dazzled by lightening outside the Cotton Club after a Lena Horne set. I will never forget him.)

Hear, hear! I don't work, but i do *not* go to the grocery or post office or any other public place in my slippers and pajama bottoms, as so many seem to do anymore. Nor does my daughter. I don't receive guests in my scruffy 'house wear', and if i'm invited to a party or dinner, i take pains to wear the best i've got - it's only respectful.

When i was a kid, we'd fly to see my dad's family every summer and on the plane, you wore hose, heels, a dress - you wore your church clothes to fly. It was an *event*. Now everybody looks like a beach bum. It's depressing.

There's a local church here whose members tend to dress in these amazing outfits, the men in vivid, jewel-tone suits and the women in lovely dresses with *hats*.... It's awesome to see them.

[mrtoulouse.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I don't own a full suit because it's not called for anywhere, but I wish I had the excuse to wear one.

[write-light.livejournal.com]

Be that as it may, what age would you assign to the people in the ad, if you didn't have the context? I would say, based on their hair and clothing that they're 30-something. NOT 18-21 (assuming it's college). I think it's not so much decorum as it is a shift in age-appropriate apparel.

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

nope I'll still take my jeans & tshirt over horrid skirts and petticoats any day

[jazzybabe56.livejournal.com]

guy in the middle in yellow - looks like Alfred E. Newman from MAD magazine...LOL

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

I was thinking Archie. Now that he's had some new experiences at college, he no longer thinks about Betty and Veronica. Now he has to choose between Brad and Vince.

[jazzybabe56.livejournal.com]

yeah that was my other choice but from the pic we can't see if he's missing a tooth or not.....LOL

[rainbow-goddess.livejournal.com]

I love this. It's hilarious.

[archanglrobriel.livejournal.com]

That happened to me in class once....


we've been together 20 years now. :)

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

They're all signaling, "Circle jerk in the boy's room at 4 o'clock sharp!"

[corridor7f.livejournal.com]

Hawt!

[whoseline_wlsc]

I am really loving those argyle socks at the bottom corner. I don't think anyone ever looked that dapper in class when I was in college. Oh well.

[cinchona.livejournal.com]

Is the sheep student doing some extracurricular reading?

[4-w-oboyme.livejournal.com]

In Russian the word "Botany" means "Nerds" =)

[anterrabre.livejournal.com]

LMAO, NO ONE in the front row is checking for anyone in the back!

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

The woman on the left seems particularly delusional innocent to what's actually happening here. Poor thing.

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

so the guy on the right slyly wrote 'meet me in the locker room @ 4' and the guy on the left is trying to figure out how to get in on that.
