------------------------------------------------------------------------
hunted's OK. It's a straight ahead shoot em up. I liked the fight choreography because the hand to hand combat wasn't so close up or distorted that you couldn't actually see the action. I felt that way watching Gladiator and other things. I think that sucks. Jones is getting old for hand to hand combat roles. He'd get his head handed to him if he tried knife fighting with some 20-something gangbanger or the military equivalent. The acting is ok, but not great. Neither Jones nor toro were totally compelling; they were just going through the motions. Neither's work could touch Colin Farrell's in Daredevil. He was just awesome in that. Always something going on that you wanted to see.
And nyah, nyah, nyah Thurgreed. Omar Epps IS gonna be in a big movie that white people want to see. The trailer for "Against the Ropes" with Meg Ryan looks good. He looked good too. He looks a bit sleepy eyed, wesley snipes, but that worked for Mitchum.Back to top

Don't bother answering that, for I already know what you will say.
Me neither.
You can rule over the other suckers, I mean posters, but you can't rule over me with an iron paw, mr. Prancey Kitty. I have a mind that is as free and smart as a bird. But not one of those birbs that often falls prey to house cats and whose corpses are brought to the cat's senile and elderly owners as some sort of offering, but rather one of those large birds like an eagle or roc that is so large that it occassionally flies off with goats and small children as proof of its size. You and your puppy enforcer may be able to encase me in within the confines of source code or encase my brain in glass and pickle it with a delicious dill sauce, but you and your oppressive paws will never rule over the spirit of Connect the Dots, my feline friend. And when I say "feline" I mean it in an ironic way in order to confuse my enemy, but I mean "friend" in a sincere way, which is ironic.

Your post was a bit wordy, but as you can see above, I got the gist.
On a related note, I went to see a band last night. A transsexual, leather-oriented glam rock band. Well to be fair, only two of the three musicians are transsexuals. But when the lead singer towers over the stage with [his] bare, amply breast-implanted chest painted blue, horrible looking scars where [his] nipples should be, and his hair flowing about as he howls his glam metal anthems, it seems like the whole band is transsexual, and you tend not to focus on the waifish girl in the flowing faux-fur shawl on bass. It is less easy to not notice the mohawked dancer to the right, because her heavily-tattooed body is clad only in a bikini, combat boots, and face paint. She and her fetishwear dancer friend on the left side of the stage writhe and yell and coo and tend to catch your eye. I have seen this band three or four times, but last night was the best because they were playing at the Walker Museum of Modern Art as part of a monthly party that the museum hosts. This meant that as the spectacle that is All The Pretty Horses unfolded before me, I had nicely clad young men and women coming up to me with trays of lovely hors-d'oevres. And it was then that I realized that there is nothing like trays of mini-quiches and gorgonzola bruschetta to complete the transsexual glam metal band experience.

I thought you'd conceded that was impossible and settled for beauty without lust, like Condi Rice. Even if you can't strike that balance now, assuming you are pretty, it'll get easier as you age. There's plenty of old women I think are pretty but in no way sexualize.Back to top

Commute shoes
I don't know why women on the FB debate sneakers as commute shoes so often. I don't often see women wearing sneakers to work. But anyway, how about something along the lines of bowling shoes or sneakers reworked as shoes, like those below. They look nice enough to be worn with at least some levels of business casual.
These are supposedly shoes for guys, but excepting Atticus, I can't believe that:

It's not that they're not pretty, it's that I'm not old. I feel the same way about women in their early 20s, although I didn't when I *was* in my early 20's. Of course, those preferences aren't without their disadvantages. I've run an online dating ad before and the only unsolicited responses are from 22/23 year old women, and it has nothing to do with $$$.

This is a good website for window shopping, but the prices are as bad as retail. If the same shoes are available on bluefly.com or ventutto.com, they'll be way, way cheaper.
By the way, those who wear "commute shoes" are Unclear On The Concept, exactly like people who keep plastic on their furniture. The whole point of shoes is to be seen & be beautiful, thus enhancing one's whole ensemble and, it follows, property value.
Oh, and fuck comfort.

You must make allowances for heavy rain and snow. The finish on galoshes or water resistant walking shoes isn't ruined by either, the finish on handmade dress shoes is.

Clothes and shoes don't make the wearer beautiful, the wearer does that, or not, on their own. Clothes and shoes do, however, show social status. And along those lines, men dress to impress women, and women dress to impress each other. (Of course there are those as solipsistic as myself that dress to please themselves.)

Coup-kee,
I don't care how fashionable those shoes are supposed to be, they are fugly. Those shoes are uglier than the shoes my sainted mother bought for me from the Sears Catalog when I was in the 7th grade -- during the height of our Thom McAn Earth Shoes "everybody has them, therefore I must" vs. "if everyone were jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, etc." debate. It was the Cuban Missile Crisis of our relationship. (I guess I would be Kruschev, as I lost that one. I didn't get the much-desired Earth shoes until much later, when I had acquired a paper route and could buy them myself.)
I would rather have gone to school wearing nothing than wearing those shoes.
My mother had otherwise excellent taste (in retrospect, of course, she was right about the Earth Shoes), but I don't know what was going on with those shoes. Honestly, the Sears Catalog!

All I know is that Ferragamo generally uses lasts that are too narrow for my feet, and bruno magli is usually even worse. Church's really isn't much better, except that some come extra wide, "gimme an 'F'". Santoni's a different story, a better one. They know where their bread is buttered, America. Santoni uses wider lasts, and a "D" suits me fine.

Don't talk about Penske-style that way. And say what you will, but they're better than the commute shoes Debtslave's recommending on the old FB (something that looks like basic Vans).
Puppy wrote:

Not my style either, I wear shoes with laced on soles and toes that are neither too round, nor too pointy, nor too square. But if the puppy's choice is something as unwalkable as heels, or a straight outa Penske's closet, bowling-like or sneaker-like shoe, I'm guessing she sucks it up and goes Penske-style.

I also have to disagree with the skekster -- as I think I noted in the original thread, I have interviewed chicks who wore suits that said both "hire me!" and "throw me across your desk and make the earth move!"
Granted, I think that it's a hard (ha-ha) balance to strike, and one not seen too often, but it is doable. There's also the risk that the suit may say those things to the wrong people, but I guess that most women have some experience at correcting the misunderstandings of deluded men -- "my suit may have been saying that, but it certainly wasn't talking to you."Back to top

If by "wrong people" you mean men, surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly) I think that men are the least of your worries when you wear clothes that send that message. I happen to have a nice body, and I do my best to keep it well covered and hidden from view when at work. I do that because it attracts negative attention from women, not from men. The men I can deal with, just like you say. But the women are much harder to deal with.
There is only so much you can do to hide your body. So, even if you don't wear "fuck me" clothes like you are describing, if you have a nice enough body, you still attract negative attention - from women, though, not from men.
Surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly), it does not attract negative attention from the life-long unattractive or overweight women. Those women who become the most enraged by seeing a woman with a nice body are those who were cute and thin at some point in their life and now are not.
I am not out to find a boyfriend or husband at work, so it is fine with me to keep my body to myself. But even when you try to keep it to yourself, there are people that will try to figure out what you look like under your clothes anyway. And all too often it is women who are apparently pissed off because they never learned to exercise.
It is extraordinarily unfortunate that women like that exist, but they do. However, like I said before, I find it is never a woman who has been what men consider to be unattractive or over weight her whole life who is like that. It is always the women who at some point in their life were cute and attracted male attention and now do not. Why they don't spend more time getting off their fat asses and jogging than they do worrying what someone else looks like is beyond me.Back to top

RP
RP,
I had a very similar experience with the Thom McAn fake earth shoes in 6th grade! And I agree with you regarding the bowling shoes. Who will seriously say those look better with a suit than a pair of running shoes? People might think that I believe those match, with the running shoes, it's obvious that I know they don't. Caveat: I don't defend the running shoe with suit look as being in any way fashion-conscience. Maybe it's blasphemy here, but sometimes, who cares about fashion?Back to top

They're pissed off because they think you might be getting a sexuality-based advantage in the workplace that they used to think they had (why one would want one is beyond me, as your marketability to moron middle-aged partners presumably then drops like a rock once you pass their daughters' ages.) But there's no way to hide a fit or curvaceous body without wearing enough fabric to look like you're six months' knocked up, and why would you want to to satisfy some insecure nit's ego? I do, however, draw the line at women anything low-cut at work--take it and your paramour into the utility closet, honey!

Interesting. I have been on this planet some 30 odd years and worked for about 13-14 years and have never encountered a woman who has become enraged upon seeing my body, abundantly clothed or otherwise. Perhaps my body is just not as fiiiiine as yours. My suggestion is just to ignore these heinous bitches.Back to top

I'm Not A Woman (though I play one on TV)(hahahaha! now *that* was unintentionally even funnier than I planned!), so I can't really argue with your experience with why negative attention comes from other women.
But I wasn't really talking about wearing "fuck me" clothes at work. Or "hire me" clothes. One or the other are pretty easy to find. Anything in leather, for example, probably qualifies.
It's the search for some combination of the two that started the thread. RP was looking for a suit that said both. coup d'skek said that such a suit was a mythical creature. I disagreed, saying that I had interviewed a few women who seemed to have found the look.

As a feminist, it pisses me off that they are pissed off. Trust me on this one, the men that they are interested in, aren't interested in a feminist like me. Everyone on the politics board thinks I am a guy, which is incredibly amusing to me, and if I had more time, I would try to analyze what it all means.
I did post the link for bravissimo, but with the caveat that I have never ordered from them. I have had them recommended to me by others who have ordered and I am thinking of ordering. However, right now it is too cold for me to even think about wearing a tank top. Keep me posted on how you like their stuff. When it gets warm enough for me to order a tank top, I am going to check out their stuff. Too bad their lingerie is really ugly.Back to top

I am not sure if I am queasy from too much coffee without enough soy creamer or from reading this post. Just how many times was mummy debbed? Unless you are from the suburbs of the only City That Matters, I would think once.
I am a little distressed that I have to throw in sorority member and daughter of someone with multiple deb gowns into my image of diamone hard nips that can hang towels when I think of csquared.
Dont mind me, I just have a case of the Mondays.
