The Price of a Mistake

Apparently it is $102.50.

Anyone else want to confess to felonious Fashion Mistakes?

Not 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.

The horror that is upon us now are those glittery gold and silver purses that resemble disco balls.

Remember..fashion trends are really only ways of making us laugh at old photographs.

"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.

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.

tachyonshuggy - that would probably be funny if I knew wtf you were talking about.

Time to google.

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.

CJN podcast 1400 copy.jpg
Podcast: CBD and Sefton are joined by Vox Clamantis, a career federal prosecutor. We discuss what Due Process actually is, and how it applies to deportation, what the Trump administration can do to combat judicial overreach, and more!
Stephen Miller: The courts are attempting to unconstitutionally enshrine open borders into law by imposing an "infinite process" on deportations.
They're too cowardly to admit what they're doing and just say, "We don't like the way they people voted and who they voted for, so we're deposing the president through a judicial coup." Instead, they're just making it so that we can have a nominal law that allows the deportations of foreign criminals and gang members, but we're also going to impose "due process" requirements that will guarantee all illegals a lifetime residency in the US.

George Clooney now looks like Bela Lugosi from Ed Wood
In this "interview," Jake Tapper claims that Clooney writing an op-ed at the instigation of Barack Obama was "brave," and Clooney returns the favor by telling Jake Tapper that "journalists" are brave and irreplaceable. It's the world's least enticing gay porn.
Prepare for a shock: Former (?) Handgun Control, Inc. spokesman Jake Tapper lies about the background of his hard-left political agitator guest, presenting him as merely an "FSU student" and allowing him to claim Republicans have blood on their hands for the recent school shooting
However, D'Onofrio isn't some dispassionate observer. He's not just some random FSU student. It doesn't sound like he was anywhere in the neighborhood of the shooting, either. He was brought on primarily to talk about the politics, but was presented as an FSU student to try and leverage sympathy for his position.

But let's also remember, once again, that the alleged killer was prohibited from buying any kind of firearm in the state of Florida. He stole a firearm owned by his police officer mother. He carried a firearm into a gun-free zone. Florida's permitless carry only applies to people over 21, so he wasn't covered by that. No one used a red flag law to disarm him.

At every level, he broke the law. None of the laws sold to the people of Florida as necessary to prevent a tragedy worked to prevent this tragedy, and yet it's somehow the fault of people who recognize that?

Trump offers Easter wishes
Happy Easter!
BTW, I read that this is the first time in years the White House website has offered an Easter prayer. Every other religion and fake religion got promoted by Biden, but not Christianity.
Oh, and NPR's Easter story is that "Trump seeks corporate sponsors for Easter egg roll." Obviously every president does this, but this communist propaganda organization only points it out now, after having denied the Biden's family influence-farming operations for a decade.
