Me, Men & Materials.

There's a saying of "You are, what you eat". Simply explains that your physical being or appearance is made up of the food you eat. However, it is besides the point for those who has genetically problem issues on their body weights or skin problems. I have always believe that there's a saying, when it comes to dressing - "You are, what you wear". No need me to explain any further.

Dressing does tell a person character to a large extent. Be it if the person is a fashionista or a trendy wanker. Wait a minute. So what's the different between a fashionista and a trendy wanker?

My definition of a fashionista is a well-dressed person that knows what he is wearing. Ya I know, the real definition of a fashionista is someone that involves in high fashion industry. Well ... I'll say, screw that. Why do one need to be in high fashion industry to be called "fashionista" when he is fashionable in what he wears? And when he is not following the trend does that mean he is out of fashion? Even though he wears fashionable clothes? Obviously not. To be begin with, fashion Herself is recyclable. It is just the matter of time when celebrities & fashion designers revives the fashion trend again. My question to you readers is, "Do you need these celebrities or fashion designers to control what you want to wear??"

Hmm. Trendy wankers. Trendy wankers are those who follow fashion blindly. Similar to people that follow religion blindly. They are the Slaves of Fashion. All they know is to follow that the trend, but do not understand them. Don't even bother to know if what they are buying is nice for them, or at least compliments their body. Basic things like chalked stripes T-shirt does not look nice on big size people ,or vertically stripes shirt will not look nice on lanky people. I got not much of an issue with trendy wankers, but it is irritating to see them in a big rowdy group at times. As much as youngsters are the biggest culprit in this category, but that's the beauty of them. To see those cute boys spending time & money at bugis street hunting for the cheapest yet stylish materials, it is just part of them - growing up. It is just the matter of time they will grow up & shift their attention from Bugis Street to Junction? Maybe shops like Domanchi? Hehehe.

Hmm. How about me? I'm neither fall in these two categories. I wear what I feel comfortable in & how I want people to judge me. If I'm feeling like a teenage rebel or a slacker in any of aparticular day, I would wear my rugged torned jeans, rugged converse shoes and beads of black chain that attached from my jeans to my wallet. Of course as much as I want to portray the punkish side of me, I'll make sure I do not go out of style. If I want to look casual, I'll wear the 80's style topman polo tee with Levis limited edition jeans and my white slipped-on shoes. Casual smart? I'll wear shirt & my vest that I've bought from The Vintage Shop at Heeren.

Justify FullYou might be wondering what's with me & my ridiculous non-degree spectacles. Ahh.. This is what most people do not understand. We humans are born with a skeptical mind. If you see, based on first expression, a person that has a convict face, you might most likely think that he is a gangster from some uncivilized group. The problem with me is that, I got those "unfriendly" face that people might most probably thought that I will "eat" them out of fun. But the true fact is that, I am just a normal guy that at times in-need of intimacy touch to makes me feel complete. (Haha, what a way I've put it) The ridiculous specs is a tool I've use to tone down the fierce side of my facial expression. By putting it on, I feel like I'm wearing a mask.

Guys, what ever u choose to wear, wear it with pride. It may look unfashionable or unpleasant, but as long as you feel comfortable in it, fuck with what the society wants to think. Based on personal experience, The most appealing and comfortable things to wear, is the things that you could portray yourself in what you wish people to see in you. Hmm. I'll end my blog this time with a famous qoute "Beauty is in the eyes, of the Beholder".
