Inspired by that fashion thread up in Pundit's section.....
Wearing nice clothes or suits isn't aways like this:

Sometimes it can be like this:

"Thats Motivation!" - David Bowie
Or this:

"Golden Years" David Bowie
...Okay, so we now know that David Bowie knows how to wear a suit well - really well...and dance while wearing a fantastic outfit.
Heck, even this guy wears suits:

Yes !, Thats Johny Rotten/John Lyden....I've have also seen him wear suits that were tasilored to fit him. Wouldn't call HIM a "fascist"
More proof that a 'suit' does not make you boring:

ABC "Shoot that Poison Arrow"
...even washed-up former drug addicts look damn good in nice clothes:

Billy Mack , "Christmas is all around us"
Then there are THESE guys:

The Time , "Jungle Love"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZZHK73iwTk&feature=PlayList&p=C87649E9C0334CB2&index=1
"The Bird" by Morris Day and The Time
Now there is no way that you can claim that all of those guys are white, fascist or conservative.

No thanx. I would rather not look like a corporate dildo.

Shal,
You do realize that even Lenin wore suits?
...for that matter other "non-conservative" types know how to wear a suit: Jimmy Carter, Bob Dylan, Laurie Anderson, Al Gore......even the current President - Barack Obama knows to wear a suit.

As opposed to a regular dildo? :p
Suits are fun in the
right circumstances.
Quote from: Idinsinuation;298678Suits are fun in the right circumstances.
Agreed, and those circumstances are not usually dependant on "fun" but social situations related to culture.

Prove it. I think it's far more fun to show off my tattoos. I would bet my tats get more questions than some boring old suit with an asphyxiating tie.

Depends on the person. I could say my piercings attract more attention than your tats but it would be opinion and nothing more. It's probably better to say that some people look good in suits and some people aren't comfortable in them.
I'm generally in the t-shirt/jeans camp but I'm not silly enough to think that you've gotta dress like me or look like a douche.

I think my biggest problem with say, the other thread is the fucking title. Like a fucking suit is any better than I am. And to think so is nothing but pure conceit.
So I say to the suits....Grow a personality. Oh, and to keep in mind, the nicer you think you look, the more you make yourself a target for the desperate.

A suit is just a suit if it's full of shit. :D

If desperate people wanting me is the cost of knowing I look good, then it's a good thing I'm a good judge of character. Then again, I'm not in the camp that thinks you have to wear a suit to look good. I just think a suit looks good sometimes.

Damn it David,
You just reminded me of
another end title sequence that had cool characters strutting while wearing suits:

Heck - even PerfectTommy switches to a shirt and tie with jacket halfway through that walk.
(Near the end he has a gray jacket and tie after the father and son Blue Blaze irregulars join the walk. ) - Ed C.
By "target for the desperate" I meant "mugging fodder".
