Goods Moi-Meme-Moitie Discussion

[Xanadu]

I don't think there is a limitation to wear what you feel comfortable in, just because you get older.
And let's be honest, which person under, lets say twenty, is able to afford moitie or other brands to wear them on a regular basis?
As long as you don't act like your brain got stuck at the age of 5, I think you're perfectly fine wearing lolita if you feel good by wearing it.

 

[Iskanderia]

I don't think I would feel good wearing it though. It doesn't really fit my personality. I'm not a big fan of lolita anyway. I'd be a lot more likely to wear the EGA stuff if anything.

 

[Xanadu]

The same goes for me, I don't wear Lolita because I just wouldn't feel comfortable doing it.
But as long as you do, it's fine.

There is this woman in my French Composition class who has got to be in her 50's and she comes to class in knee-high frilly socks and short, pink dresses.

If she likes that and feels comfortable with that, what's the problem ?

Hopefully there isn't one, but desperately clinging to youth doesn't seem healthy or mature to me. It's better to age gracefully.

As for the would-you-or-wouldn't-you wear Moitié, I'm sure I actually can't. I'm 6'3'' and I'm pretty sure my shoulders would rip through any one of those shirts. EGA is a cool style and I like it in theory, but I can't think of any time that I would ever want to wear it except maybe to some kind of party/formal event just for the hell of it. I would never wear EGL because I could never pull it off with a body like mine besides the fact that I always used to hate my sister's porcelain dolls so why would I want to dress like one?

And I'm just not a transvestite I guess *shrug*

The fact is that we are used to see people dressed differently depending on their age. And so, we think it's normal that our clothing changes with the years. But, if we think about it, it's just an habit of our society. People don't change so much with years. We have the same hopes, dreams, loves, madnesses at 40 and more than at 15, you know. Ok, we have more responsabilities but the best of ourselves is still the same. So, why not to express it openly ? Why to limit ourselves because the society wants to ? Just let be ourselves ^^

And I'm just not a transvestite I guess *shrug*

I don't think that someone can be considered as a transvestite for the only reason that he or she likes to be dressed with some stuffs usually used to be clothes of the other sex ^^ If so, every woman in this world is a transvestite. We borrowed men's pants, shirts, ties, shoes, boxers, pajamas ... and integrated them into our clothing. But strangely, it is accepted and even considered as normal while men borrowing feminine clothes are pointed out.
An anecdote : more than 10 years ago, I usualy frequented a certain chat room on internet. It happened sometimes that we met live. At one of these meetings, someone absent was roughly criticized by others due to the fact that he had posted a photo of him dressed as a woman. (PM : Musti, the absents are always wrong ). I really loved him and I still ^^ So, I became nervous and I reacted telling them that I didn't see the problem, pointed out the fact that me, I was always wearing pants while being a woman. They answered to me that it was not the same, that it was normal for a woman to wear masculine clothes but not the contrary.
I don't understand why. What is normal and what is not ? ^^

After all, there was not so long, men wore robes too ^^

While I agree with you in spirit, I never want to see this become a reality:

It's just a matter of taste ^^ For myself, I'd have no objection that men were dressed like that. Except maybe for the colour

 

[MissUMana]

I certainly wouldn't like men to dress like this. It's ridiculous and ugly. Very plain anyway.

In fact, I like sober style ^^
I don't think it's so ridiculous and ugly. We are not used to see it. A lot of clothes that seemed ugly and ridiculous are well accepted now. Just look at the first mini-skirts. They were considered as ridiculous and most of all, indecent. The bikinis too. And now, we are used to see them.
I still remember the first platform shoes and the first pants with bell-bottoms. Oh my, first, people found them ugly and ridiculous. I was about 10 I think and I was really proud and happy to wear mine

 

[MissUMana]

Please don't remind me of the bright orange turned-up shorts with an embroidered butterfly I once wore, or the memorable orange-with-white-polka-dots bell-bottomed coton trousers I wore in the summer, ahahahah! The 70s were a lot of fun though!

It's a Starfleet uniform (Star Trek).

Basically, Gene Roddenberry (Star Trek's creator) wanted to be all "in the future, no one will care about gender roles and people will be able to wear whatever they want" - which is cool - but what we end up with is the least likely and least practical military uniform ever.

If our, say, Marines are running in around in mini-dresses in the 24th century, I hope the rest of the world nukes us off the fucking map - just for being ridiculous.

Not that I readily say "no" to a good laugh, but I promise we'd spare you the indignity, ahahahah!

Could it be that by then the whole US Army is "Gays only" for a change?

I saw it, but I already spent everything I could spare on Divine Cross.

What I find most improbable about Star Trek's vision of the future is the elaborate hairstyles many of the women seem to have. Unless in the future all hair has perfect texture and/or miraculously styles itself it seems pretty impractical for military personnel in combat situations.

Perhaps STYLE is what wars will be fought for, and the best style will win the war?

Designer Wars. The evil empire lead by Karl Lagerfeld.

now back to me, says he.

When you start buying into international designer labels, 3oo GBP isn't expensive anymore.

 

[Amatsu]

The only reason people think "women's" clothes look bad on men is because society teaches us that. If it was normal for all people to wear both masculine and feminine clothing, it wouldn't look so weird. Obv.

 

[Cerceaux]

Karl Lagerfeld is so full of shit.

Well actually he's MADE OF shit. He literally brought narcissism to the rank of Fine Arts.

Too late ! I see that you have great memories of that marvellous time too
I admit it was a better time than after. You know the time when we wore washed-out jeans cigaret more shrunk and washed-out by ourselves (I dont explain how to put it on, it was a hell everyday XD), shirt of the type "chemise grand-père" worn outside the jeans of course, not tucked in the pants XD, Pull-over shorter than the shirt (to let people see the shirt of course XD), sabots at our feed, with wood sole to make the more noise that we could XD, patchouli essence per parfume or an indian one and, for myself, my eternal long long scarf that became longer and longer with the time. Once it reached the ground, I did a one more turn around my neck
Aaah, such great times !
It was so terrible that my second dad asked me once if my parents hated me so much that they let me go out dressed like that... He never saw the scarf and the sabots though XD

If our, say, Marines are running in around in mini-dresses in the 24th century, I hope the rest of the world nukes us off the fucking map - just for being ridiculous.

Well, for myself, every army and war in the world are ridiculous. So, a little more won't be a big change ^^

Yes. That's my point of view ^^
