Picture #2 - with his "Balls" locked up. Gotta protect the intellectual capital.
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.

I think fashion can be divided into three easy categories. Good, Bland and Bad.

Substituting bad for bland does not equal good.

No, but I may be leaving for the professional croquet tour.

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.

Yes, yes…I've been to Italy also.
Who cares who is a supermodel and who is not? We went here

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.

Never left DC…..

I have yet to see a Seersucker suit outside of DC. Mind you, I don't spend a lot of time in the south, but I see that as a good thing.

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.
I saw a guy wearing flip flops with his khakis and dress shirt today.

Somebody please outlaw flip flops with any kind of dress clothes, now!

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.
