Title: The Cowboy Hat Rule
Post by: on April 21, 2004, 11:04:00 am
I just saw another person wearing a cowboy hat.   There should be a rule:
 
 NO COWBOY HATS EAST OF OKLAHOMA!

Please, can we include cowboy boots with that rule?
 
 And why do they walk like they've just shit in their pants when they wear those god-awful things?

I remember the first time Dwight Yoakam played the 930 and a goodly line of people were waiting to get in when I drove by; every one of them turned to check me out closely with some trepidation as my car approached... you could tell they were nervous about standing out on V St with their big stupid cowboy hats on

hmmmm, interesting point. S. American footie jerseys are just tacky, but European ones are a little more tasteful.
 
 HEY! They're a lot more tasteful than NASCAR jackets and runny-catchy jerseys....and what about basketball vests? It's a fucking vest! Put a shirt over it for crying out loud!

i don't think east/west is the appropriate designation . . .rather, it would be more of an l shape, going down the mississippi, and going east between arkansas and missouri, north to tennesse and kentucky, then going straight east somewhere in southern virginia to the ocean.  oh, and none in florida.

I think cowboy hats and boots look sexy on the right person.
 
    Of course, if you're stocky/fat and lacking nice legs/a pretty or handsome face (I think this accounts for most people on the board), they will look stupid on you instead of sexy.

I thought it was hilarious when John Roderick of the Long Winters commented that, "I lived in DC during the first Bush administration, and there were always lots of guys who walked around with blue buttoned up oxfords and short hair. I see those guys ar all back in town." (my friend who was clad in said shirt and hair was a bit embarrassed)
 
    In terms of fashion, DC has got to be the most boring, conventional, conformist major city in the whole world. I say bring on the cowboy hats, or anything else that might add some fashion diversity in this city.

I highly recommend the mullet. Nothing demonstrates high-brow fashion like a finely accessorized mullet:

There will be a substantial number of mullets at the S-K show.

I think fashion can be divided into three easy categories. Good, Bland and Bad.
 
 Substituting bad for bland does not equal good.

I'll agree with the three categories. But what may be good fashion to you may be bad fashion to someone else, and vice versa.
 
    I'll take a world full of fashion diversity over a world full of fashion conformity/monotony (regardless of good/bland/bad) anyday.
 
    Not that it really matters. In a perfect world, nobody would bother wearing clothing anyway.

We would all be hairy enough not to need clothes in Winter or Skiing? Then is summer we would shed? Would we have fauns to clean remove hair from the plughole? Or woud it all be perfect natural body odour, too?

After seeing you on a mountain bike, that course is highly recommended!  :p

Really? Take a look around. This country ain't exactly populated with supermodels. I think there are an infinitesimal number of Americans that would look "fashionable" walking around naked. You'd soon be wishing for the good old days of "blue buttoned up oxfords"
 
 Eating habits would probably improve quickly though.

Who cares who is a supermodel and who is not? We went here
 
 http://gofrance.about.com/cs/nudismnaturism/a/capdagde.htm (http://gofrance.about.com/cs/nudismnaturism/a/capdagde.htm)
 
 last year and had a blast, even though 95% of the people walking around naked were fat French retirees. They seemed to be havign a good time as well.
 
 It aint about looking great, it's about being free, man.

Is it me or are people just better lloking outside of DC.
 
 Here at College Park spotting the shortest skirt can be mildly entertaining.

They sure weren't better looking at the NASCAR race on Sunday.
 
 If you favor 20 yr olds over 28 yr olds, I reckon College Park beats DC.

It's just you...try going to the South Side of Chicago (midway airport), or rural Pennsylvnia (gross mall anchor store being K-Mart)...my little brother who lives in central Illinois was raving about the DC hotties he spotted when he was visiting.

They never left New England either. I have no clue about the South, and that is fine with me.

Amazingly enough, that was "the" look during my high school years, year round! Ridiculous, but somehow it worked for dress code.
 
 Mark E Smith, there is an article on Viv Westwood in the NY Times today, if you are interested.

I just returned from a lovely two-day business trip to Wilkes-Barre, PA, where, I can report, even in 40 degree weather, the trend for 13-year-olds is flip-flops with very short skirts.  Just looking at them makes me cold.
