The Price of a MistakeApparently it is $102.50. Anyone else want to confess to felonious Fashion Mistakes? posted by Harry Callahan at 11:23 PM
CommentsNot in a comment, I won't...I'd need a whole blog for eBay mistakes. Although in my defense, not ridiculous shit. I have bought shoes in the wrong size INTENTIONALLY just because they were so cute and I just Had To Have Them even if they didn't fit. So I guess that counts, right? Posted by: Beth on November 9, 2005 01:00 AM
Hey, does being first count if Ace didn't write the post? And what's up with this, Harry's blogging clothes, and Laura is blogging NSFW ass? Damn, y'all are confused! Posted by: Beth on November 9, 2005 01:03 AM
Well, I have this off-white lambskin sports jacket I bought for about $500 because I was shopping to get dressed for a company event where the dress code was "resort chic" (whatever that means) and Mrs. Michael (and a hot friend) thought it was really cool . . . Never mind. If I tell the whole story (involving linen pants and silk T-shirts), Laura's going to call me a homo or something. God forbid. Posted by: Michael on November 9, 2005 04:05 AM
Poor guy spent all that money then realized he wasn't gay. Posted by: Alec on November 9, 2005 04:55 AM
Well, I have this off-white lambskin sports jacket I bought for about $500 So I thought, "I didn't know Michael was gay. But now it kind of all makes sense!" but then - and Mrs. Michael (and a hot friend) thought it was really cool . . . So I thought, "Ohhh, he's not gay. Just really wealthy and prone, like most men, to acts of stupidity where hot women are involved." and then - involving linen pants and silk T-shirts So again I'm thinking, "FLAMER!" Actually, I prefer assless leather chaps. Posted by: compos mentis on November 9, 2005 08:12 AM
Obviously the problem here isn't Queen, expensive sports cars, Michael's latent homosexuality, or even that guy on eBay's hideous leather pants. The real problem is the ridiculous extremes we guys will go to get laid. Like your old (and paid for) truck just fine but your lady says "speed turns me on"? Boom! Hello, sports car payment. Overhear your sister's hottie friend mention that guys with long, curly hair make her wet? Boom! There you are at Visible Changes contemplating a perm and highlights. It's sad, really, but I'll tell you what: God sure knew what he was doing when he gave women vaginas, b/c without them men wouldn't put up with their shit for one second. But with 'em? We'd do friggin' anything -- and I mean anything -- to get us some. Damn, we're lame. Posted by: Blacksheep on November 9, 2005 08:50 AM
Sad, funny, and true Blacksheep. LOL! (in Homer Simpson voice) Mmmmm . . . vaginas! Posted by: compos mentis on November 9, 2005 08:56 AM
A little girl and boy were showing each other their privates and the little boy points to his penis and teases the little girl that she does not have one. The little girl then points to her vagina and says I have one of these and I can get as many of those as I want. Posted by: polynikes on November 9, 2005 09:19 AM
That was hilarious! You men kill me. (don't forget the power of the boobs as well!) When I was in third grade I decided to wear this frilly red dress with white stockings. I looked like some freaky valentines day card come hideously to life. From then on I followed the KISS rule. Keep It Simple and Solid. It hasn't failed me yet. I have avoided all those plaids over the years that look like tablecloths. I have avoided the leopard skin look that only really works for 80's metal bands. I have avoided the big sweaters with the huge designs on them where one seems to be a walking piece of bad art. Remember..fashion trends are really only ways of making us laugh at old photographs. Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on November 9, 2005 09:20 AM
"Remember..fashion trends are really only ways of making us laugh at old photographs." That is TRUELY profound. It also gave me my first laugh of the day. Thankyou Rightwingsparkle. Posted by: rabidfox on November 9, 2005 09:29 AM
I've never really been one to take a fashion risk, but I am a little chagrined to admit that I knew DKNY was the brand label for "Donna Karan New York". In my defense, I do have teen-aged daughters. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 9, 2005 09:30 AM
Why do I get the feeling the seller goes by "Ace," and the girl he was trying to impress is named "Karol?" Posted by: Bill from INDC on November 9, 2005 09:32 AM
And "DKNY" is deceptive about being a "Donna Karan" brand, rather, it's the cheap step-brother brand of Donna Karan that was sold off to another company, which makes cheaper clothes yet still keeps the implied upscale association with full-on "Donna Karan." I mean, so I read somewhere. Once. Posted by: Bill from INDC on November 9, 2005 09:35 AM
Dave and Bill had better start talking about football or killing, gutting, and eating a warthog before people get the impression that Dave's daughters are an adopted front and INDC shows he likes it 'IN D Can.' Posted by: compos mentis on November 9, 2005 09:45 AM
Bill taking it in the stinky starfish would explain a lot but I don't think it's likely. I had a David Byrne-style jacket with padded shoulders. That's my first and last fashion brainfart My closet is about as exciting as Dick Cheney's. Posted by: spongeworthy on November 9, 2005 09:52 AM
it's the cheap step-brother brand of Donna Karan No shit? I mean, I think the Longhorns are headed for the Rose Bowl, don't you? Kansas and A&M should be no problems at all. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 9, 2005 09:55 AM
Looking back now, there probably would have only been a slight difference in working out naked or working out in my spandex shorts. Posted by: Polynikes on November 9, 2005 10:06 AM
Freedom, however, is still a $1.05. Posted by: John on November 9, 2005 10:38 AM
1989 + Summer job + Chess King = $210 worth of Z. Cavaricci brushed cotton zoot suit pants with impossibly baroque belt loops. Posted by: tachyonshuggy on November 9, 2005 11:09 AM
Chess King BAAAAAAAAAHAAHHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAA oh man, wiping my eyes Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 9, 2005 11:14 AM
tachyonshuggy - that would probably be funny if I knew wtf you were talking about. Time to google. Posted by: compos mentis on November 9, 2005 11:23 AM
Leg warmers and ripped up t-shirts like in Flashdance. Posted by: Lipstick on November 9, 2005 12:21 PM
This is all going to appear in the AoSHQ Gay movie. Post at your own peril. Posted by: on November 9, 2005 02:00 PM
This one time when I was in New Orleans many years ago, I saw a shirt that had Popeye and Olive Oyle. The caption read "Well blow me down". And they were doing something that made the caption mean something different than it usually does. (And, to answer your follow-up question, his forearms aren't the only thing on him shaped funny) Did I buy that shirt? No. And that's the biggest fashion mistake of my life. Posted by: Famous J on November 9, 2005 02:59 PM
Famous J, Well, it was a mistake only if you never wanted a girlfriend. ;-) Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on November 9, 2005 03:45 PM
Those who don't know the 1970's are doomed to repeat them. And Muscic Videos, it seems. Posted by: Mikey on November 9, 2005 05:39 PM

I have happily forgotten what Milo Yiannopoulos sounds like, but I still enjoyed this impression from from Ami Kozak.
More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2: Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Do I ever! It's all I remember! Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations. I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said. She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
