- grey trousers - stripey top (an old one with narrow cream, grey and red stripes not one of these Bananarama-esque large striped, saggy, shapeless objects starting to appear in the shops) - black v-neck jumper - black underwear as usual
Exciting sales purchases:
- green cord hipsters. Unfortunately they really really hang off my hips, to the point where half my crack is revealed upon bending over. But they were only £15
- pretty red silk top- from one of Debenhams' Designers.
- earrings to match the new top
- pretty burgundy top with glittery straps - half price from Monsoon
- pyjama bottoms - £5 from the New Look jumble sale
- green vest top - £3 also by New Look
- warm pyjamas and slinky pyjamas- half price in La Senza
Yet to purchase:
- burgundy earrings to go with new top - belt to keep hipsters up - new bag - new work shoes (seemingly impossible to find)

I am wearing a drab denim coloured shirt that I don't like very much at all and some black trousers. This is due to the fact that the washing machine flooded the laundry last night and rather than mop it up I just chucked the washing in the drier and hoped the water on the floor would dry itself overnight. Then this morning I wanted to iron my nice new white shirt but there was still a few centimeters of water on the floor. It was really nerve-wracking turning the iron on, like that bit in fight club. I wasn't electrocuted but the point is that the iron tripped the power and I couldn't wear the clothes I wanted to. And then Misc goes and starts a W.A.Y.W50% OFF! thread.

Neckerchiefs? Cravats? Are you people fucking high or something? If you're a man, the only things you should ever put around your neck are a tie, and - eventually - a noose.
Anything else is out of bounds. Neckerchiefs will make you like gay and/or like a child pretending to be a cowboy. Cravats just make you look like a ponce, and a necklace makes you look like a retarded mouthbreathing thug.

I think that's the brooch, rather than the tie, that gives the Dick Effect. "A right ponce", as non-cravat men might say.
Whether ties are good or evil depends on the tie. Big fat shiny knot wound ten times around, so length of tie is scarcely greater than its girth = knob-jockey salesman. Slim, neat tie with crisp shirt and swotty-looking tanktop, as in London's pal = man about town.

Argh! God I hate that! When i met this guy who worked on zoo or nuts or somesuch, he was wearing this. It made me want to pull the jacket up over his face and then mash it with my fists, chair, plank of wood, etc, until it was nothing more than a bag of wet flesh and shards of bone.

the Westwood rip off ones. Whenever I see them, I associate them with the people in The Salon, and the writers of Popbitch. Self serving bitter little turds who would proudly claim "I was bullied at school for being a little twat, but who's laughing now!!", not realising that in fact, everybody they meet who is not part of the same twatty club is laughing at them, just as they did all those years ago.

Worst of all, underneath my Jason Donovan disguise I am wearing a pair of blue pants with the Superman logo on the front, wot I got for crimbo. They're giving me a bit of wedgie to be frank.

It's bad form to make judgements about people based on their clothing. I'm sure that, apart from VOP, footballers, and the members of Blue, there are plenty of alright men wearing the blazerjeans thing. I don't like the way I make these assumptions, but they still come to me. Just like somebody like Rick sees a teenager wearing sportswear and assumes that they are a joyrider, I make my mind up that people are cocks and pricks and ****s based on their clothing. Which is wrong.

indie people are generally happy to exist on the fringe though, and build their own hierachies and cultural economies, rather than just copy the people off of Pop Idol. At least there's some counter-culture in there, even if it's at the expense of conforming to an arguably stricter doctrine. Most indie people would probably admit that they are still a failure, unlike people off The Salon and Popbitch, who give the impression of genuinely believing that they've transcended something by becoming immersed in the culture of mass media promotion. This is just my impression though, and is tainted by my own desire to live in a vacuous coke-addled world of money and idle idiocy.
eta: I wrote cock instead of coke. Very telling.

My deeply hot 'writing outfit': top shop jeans with rips on inside leg from my badass thighs; t-shirt of the band 'Brakes' who I don't even like; charity shop big-eyed puppy-dog sweatshirt a la Shoreditch irono-movement of 1998-2000; white converse. Ooh I wanna sexx me up.
PS - it is, however, neatly accessorised by this delicious piece of Tatty Devine bling:

i was having a lovely time deciding what i was going to buy in the sales- there was a pair of grey tweed shorts in to' sho' that had my NAME on them, £15! then i got mugged, my price-less boots came asunder when a moth breathed on them and now i am forced to choose between contact lenses (essential) and shoes which do not have holes in them and are made of any textile more watertight than canvas (essential). all muggers, i curse you and your offspring! if any of the people reading this are muggers, be prepared for me to shun you with full shoulder at the next TMO meat.
