Odd day yesterday.....
Drycleaner interview... seamstress interview... thrift store haunting.. truck checking up on...I got recognized at one ot those road side places by someone I hadn't seen in 10 years.... and told "your never going to blend in" "all you have to do is open your mouth".... "even if you just stand there not saying a word..... you talk shit"..
Yeah well..... OOpsee..
Other than that... there was some comment from the cleaner.. we were talking about my suit and jackets.. I explained about them being wool summer weights and good quality... cause I sorta know what to look for and how to buy clothes....
I was told she knew I was one of those men that "knew how to dress"...even if I was uber casual in my usual black T shirt, jeans and vest.... I was well kept.....my personal matinence had been done and there was no foot dragging or slouching...shirt tucked in, clothes clean and not guyiffied... which was kinda nice...
Its easier to have good posture.... stand up straight etc....
I blame the Lilac Vegital... theres a thing I have to do.. and its business formal so having my suits in top shape is kind of critical..the hair and beard is dealt with....all trimmed up and pretty..
I need to do a photo in full regallia....rather than my day to day scramble clothes... not that it matters to me...... its mostly to amuse the G/F.... the clothes are the work "uniform" and its part of the evaluation... I can't show up in boots, chinos and a wife beater and even think about getting in the door... much less all the stuff I have to do....
Ya have to be ready.... my biggest problem is to watch how I move and stand...not let that "on the corner" thing slip in.. hahahaha...
But if youth isnt mis-spent, its not youth is it?...So I try to be aware of how I move......not all nervous and twitchy aware.. just less Doc Holiday with that one eye brow cocked..which I sorta fail at...
Work onna truck got done.. not much, but some...Im thinkin seriously about _______________
I don't really want to.."but"
Other than that, its classes..... dinner and cravings.. I've had it to easy lately, a hot plate and now gas for my stove.... I deliberately made bread in the gas flame so it would burn a little... cause I missed the taste... I need to build a fire and cook outside for a bit to get it out of my system... Im wanting that whole smoke and "char" thing.... only on the bread though.. not the stick food ..
I dont know anything about good clothes like you do, The best suit I ever had was a £400 off the peg YSL black one that I had tailored to fit me, still got it but being able to fit in it is a dream....
ReplyDeleteDamn but it did look good when I wore it, especially the day a judge directed a jury to discharge the case against me and had the court baliffs arrest 2 police officers, (in court) for attempting to pervert the course of justice, at The Old Baily, London. Nothing like walking out to face the press lookin like a flash cant......
Gotta like the "damn this looks good" factor... and a tailor who knows how to fit an off the rack suit and make it look like its a custom job..
ReplyDeleteI always go for good material then get it altered
