Hey Meade was asking me for some wardrobe tips.


Hey dolls, Meade emailed me this photo of what he plans to wear and asked my advice. Now I only know about women's clothes because personally I only wear stuff from LL Bean. My wife dresses me otherwise since I wouldn't know Hickey Freeman from Freeman McNeil. So any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Waxing?

Really all i wanted to know is do you think red is my color. Or should I go with a more masculine Algore brown?

dr kill said...

I should think this photo of Meade proves that someone carrying a Colt model 1873 single-action Peacemaker revolver in .45 caliber can wear whatever they wish.

Especially if they are carrying half-cocked, so to speak, as the photo demonstrates.

Is there a load in that chamber?

Trooper York said...

I don't think you can see if there is a load from that angle.

What should Meade wear?

Defintely not what is in this picture (Meade is a guy right?) Heh.

Trooper York said...

Is that you Trebeck?

Freeman Hunt said...

How fancy? Sport coat, no tie fancy?

Freeman Hunt said...

Generally acceptable date attire for men:

button up shirt, a dark plaid that does not include any garish colors is good (green, brown, navy, burgundy, that sort of thing), a muted solid, or if you are thin and look good in white, something like this can work

dark pants (navy, dark green, dark khaki, brown, etc.) in a classic cut (none of this skinny pant business, ignore horrid sweater in example pic)

sport coat in a dark, muted color or a herringbone (but not with white pants! UGH)

leather belt, leather shoes, matching socks

Good to go. That is a catch all outfit. Best I can do without seeing you or knowing what this is for or where you are going. Does not have to be Ralph Lauren. I just used that site because my father dresses impeccably, and I know that a lot of his stuff came from there. Shopping on that site would be a bit of a minefield because a lot of the stuff is far too feminine looking. If you don't own anything acceptable to wear, don't buy clothes online; go to the store. You must try on.

Do not wear:
vest
bowtie
a bizarre color
anything ill-fitting
spandex
ammunition belts
suspenders
suspenders clipped to man panties
thigh boots

Darcy said...

OK, you guys know best, but I'm kinda liking the diaper look. *shrugs*

Zachary Sire said...

Those boots are fierce. I'm serious. I'd wear them if I had the guts and was a bit more faggy.

Ruth Anne Adams said...

if I...was a bit more faggy.

Is that like being more pregnant?

Hoosier Daddy said...

I think Zardoz was the one movie that Connery looks back and and says:

"What the fuck was I thinking?"

An Edjamikated Redneck said...

Nah, I think Connery had one other "Ah Crap" movie moment.

I only saw it once, and can't remember the title, but Sean plays a cowboy with I think a pet cougar. I lasted about 20 minutes with it, it was that bad.

But the costumes weren't this bad.

As far as wardobe advice; I found jeans, a golf shirt, preferably with a company logo, and cowboy boots will get me in anywhere I want to go. Make of that what will.

Ruth Anne Adams said...

Wait! That's Sean Connery? I thought it was a Captain Morgan model on vacation.

I may have to re-think this.

You know those Scottish fellows with their rolling rrrrs...

KCFleming said...

James Bond does Glam Rock.
I wore this to senior prom, except for the gun.

Freeman's advice is good.

Obviously, make sure the unibrow and other age-enhanced hairs are gone (nose, ears).

Wear a decent watch. That one you have -your favorite, your comfy watch- is decaying and is icky.

And don't talk about Mort. Downer.

Meade said...

Thanks, my little Yorkovite Yorkmeisters!

Just to review:

vest........ don't own
bowtie..... lost it in the war
a bizarre color....... no bright green? Darn!
anything ill-fitting.... especially condoms, right?
spandex..............don't even know what that is... sounds like a cooking utensil.
ammunition belts... but where will I keep ammo?
suspenders.... belt only? but what if...?
suspenders clipped to man panties... good idea *clipping to breechclout instead*
thigh boots... I can roll them down a bit.

Taking Doc's advise on the nose hair removal, also earhairectomy. How about no watch at all? Timeless, eh?!

And no, no Mort talk. Noted. Instant buzzkill. Instead I'll ask - hey how about them Packers? Or... cheese is always a universally interesting topic... which should bring us back to global warming, Oprah's breasts - real or imagined? - and, finally, parasitic squirrels. That should be enough to avoid the handshake instead of highly coveted peck-on-the-cheek.

Do guys still open doors for dolls or might that get me sucker-slugged? I know - I'll wear my flac jac!

Hoosier Daddy said...

OK, you guys know best, but I'm kinda liking the diaper look. *shrugs*

Darcy, we may need to do an intervention here.

KCFleming said...

Always be the gentleman.

The woman who abhors a gentleman is not worth your time.

Darcy said...

Don't listen to them, Meade. I say wear the bright yellow shirt and a red jacket.

Good luck!

And Pogo's right, as always.

Hoosier Daddy: I like Sean in anything, really. Maybe I was momentarily dazed by the effect of that diaper... ;-)

Meade said...

thanks, Doc. Will do.

Meade said...

Darcy, who is this "Sean?" And why do you keep calling my breechclout a diaper? I've been out of diapers for almost eleven years.

KCFleming said...

I changed my mind; I'm with Darcy.

A bright yellow shirt and a red jacket.
And green pants.

Darcy said...

Bless you, Pogo!

Original Mike said...

I saw Zardoz way back when, but I don't remember this. Mercifully.

chickelit said...

@Meade: I think she'll accept you as you are and without sartorial judgement.

ricpic said...

Wear anything you damn well please and wear it UNAPOLOGETICALLY. This is the key to alpha male behavior for which you WILL be rewarded whatever your threads.

Freeman Hunt said...

I'm married to a very considerate alpha male, and I must admit that I think he was wearing a henley and shorts the first time we went out. We basically moved in together that day and were then married within two months, so I suppose the outfit was, empirically measured, a smashing success.

HOWEVER, we were in our early twenties then, an age when most people's clothes are stupid. And obviously shorts are entirely off the table... so I still endorse the dress pants, sport coat, no tie option.

knox said...

Now that's gonna leave an interesting tan line.

knox said...

Seriously, Meade, don't sweat it too much. If a man looks too perfect it comes off as sort of effeminate. Be clean and neat but don't worry about it otherwise.

Trooper York said...

I will have you know that I got a very nice manicure yesterday knox and do not feel at all effeminate. Of course I cover it by using my nicley manicured finger to pick my nose, but that's just me.
