Welcome to Gaia! ::

Josh wanted me to make this thread for some reason. I suppose its purpose is to showcase interesting pieces of clothing one comes across online, or articles one has purchased or intends to purchase. The reason he asked me to make the thread was to introduce this shoe art.

Awesome shoes, though I would have liked to see a bit more integration with the art work. For example, the Bowser shoes would have been a lot cooler had that strap-like piece that goes across below the laces had been painted to look like (or even replaced with) black leather and had pointed metal studs put through it, thus looking more like Bowser's armbands, think how much more interesting a design that would be. This could be pushed even further by painting a shell pattern on other parts. As I said though, they are quite nice just as is.
While I don't have any links to the sort of things that I like, I do have very specific, even exacting standards in what I look for. I won't even consider buying any aristocratic or even Japanese apparel unless they fit certain criteria.
First off, pants are made, as I hear, of measurements that I could not possibly fit into without having utilized extensive surgery requiring the use of a bone saw. That and when ordering them, Sara seems to need to ask me the measurements of my natural waist... You know, the one almost level with my navel. Either she is confused or they would be so completely ridiculous and uncomfortable that I would never consider wearing them even if they did fit. I prefer to keep that part of my outfits simple and inexpensive and simply buy domestic, though if ever I find pinstripe pants (striped just the way that I want them, that is) that fit me like the one pair that I have, I will buy them with cost being no object (within my means, of course).
When it comes to vests and jackets, the requirements are that they be black and have tails. I prefer certain collars and styles of tails, but more on that later, perhaps with pictures this time. More to come on the pinstripes, as well.

That zelda shoe is so bad a** xDD

I love the Bowser and Squirtle shoes. Awesome.

I have some shirts I'd really love to buy, once I figure out how, so...I guess I'll list a few of them.

Zombie Protest

Crest of Hyrule

The Solution

Insufficient Memory

Oh, and...this scarf. <3

Schroeder Piano Scarf

And here they are.

This one is backless. It's kind of annoying to put on the hanger (and onto myself), but it's pretty awesome, otherwise.


This one is punk enough that I wouldn't wear a cravat with it, but casual enough that I can wear it with jeans and a t-shirt once it gets too warm for my duster.

So, these aren't so much interesting as awful, but enjoy!

Bikini Pants


One-legged pants, or Half-Pants

My most recent want (clotheswise)... Pity I'll never own it... The most awesome shirt.

I found it on American McGee's official website. Since I've just been informed that I'm going to have two days of working 10 hours, I think I'm going to treat myself to that shirt and maybe a bag.
