Take a look at this Nice accessory for Spiderweb employees? (IMHO Kambriel makes some really nice clothes - if you're a skater or something though, I'm sure you'll disagree...) It's a unique item as well, so I'm sure it has some pretty neat magical properties ;) Posts: 7 | Registered: Wednesday, June 11 2003 07:00 |

I don't know that they could afford it. :) If we don't have money to register games, that means they don't have any money either. That beret costs more than it does to register any Spiderweb game. -------------------- "Man hands down misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.

WTH? It's as close to a cool beret (an oxymoron if I ever saw one) as one can possibly get.

quote:*raises eyebrow* Hrrm... So, anyone who wears clothes he/she likes which happen to be in contrast with the more "ordinary" clothes, or commercially acceptable/commercially common clothing - then you lack self respect? Au contraire! If you wear clothes everyone else wears, clothes which follow the commercial average style - without giving any thought to what messages you send, without giving any regard to your respective personality - THEN you lack self respect. If anyone wears "normal" clothes because this is in accordance to their actual personality, their oppinions, their culture - then I'll respect it. But if they wear a certain style - regardless of which - because of a mask, be that the wish for acceptance, a fear of expressing yourself, a wish to look like, or be associated with a certain character or personality - which is not your own, but one which you want to adapt - then I do NOT respect your choice in clothing at all, and I will stress that this would be showing a severe lack of self respect. If you respect yourself, you will not be afraid to show the real you. If the real you is a person with a so-called gothic style, then what is wrong with dressing "gothic"?

There's nothing wrong with it. If the real you is an overdramatic idiot, certainly do dress that way. -------------------- (( take my hand and join us )) Posts: 49 | Registered: Tuesday, June 10 2003 07:00 |

I don't want to spend $150 on a bedsheet and $110 on an ugly shirt named after an ex-pope and come out looking like a man named Lance kicked my ass so hard I fell down in the 19th century and couldn't get back up, dear. But that's just me. I wear surgeon's clothes on a daily basis, so what do I know? -------------------- desperance -- je me souviens arena -- et je me souviens de vous Posts: 2449 | Registered: Monday, October 15 2001 07:00 |

quote:I can see you are quite diplomatic... I am obviously quite different from you. Yes, I can easily wear such clothes. I may be an idiot seeing how I am not overly active in politics, but I would not call myself overdramatic. Nor would I use "idiot" the way you obviously intended - I do not consider myself of inferior (or superior for that matter) intelect. I'd recommend you read the forum rules though. I think you just broke some. Posts: 7 | Registered: Wednesday, June 11 2003 07:00 |

quote:hehe... No matter the prices. I won't pay (and have not payed) such a price for a beret. That one is not my style either. Nor one I'd look good in for that matter. But, like I said, no matter the prices, I just found it slightly amusing - so I posted it here. As for wearing the beret itself, it's not my style. But I am wearing a beret on a daily basis - seeing how I am a soldier and all...

Thank you, Kyna. You said what I was trying to, except that lovestruck teenagers aren't known for eloquence or patience. Especially at 3AM! -------------------- (( take my hand and join us )) Posts: 49 | Registered: Tuesday, June 10 2003 07:00 |

Expensive or not, I believe that the beret looks terrible. I do not challenge your ethnical beliefs on clothing, however. Carry on. Posts: 149 | Registered: Saturday, May 3 2003 07:00 |

quote:Clothes can allso be a method of identification, and furthermore expression. With a slight danger of sounding gay - Clothes can be art. Old Chaz; All berets look terible in that "position" You have to wear them, and shape them pretty much in order to make them "sit" properly... A good beret is not a good beret until it has been worn for a few months, and during this time made dripping wet, and worn till it has dried out. This is relative to the fabric used I'm sure though... My beret, being fairly new, is unruly and not yet perfect... Such is the life of a soldier. I assure you, join the military, and while in you will be much more concerned about your looks than ever before. If I were to describe the sgt I had during recruit, his main interests included; Clothes Shoeshine Facial shaving Makeup(Okay, okay - camouflage...) Gun oiling and cleaning. Status of the room... etc... In short, if you look good, you're a good soldier... So, I know a whole lot more about clothes care now than I did before I was drafted... As for the spiderweb beret. Looking good or bad... I thought it was funny... Posts: 7 | Registered: Wednesday, June 11 2003 07:00 |

Half the people on these boards probably never go out of their rooms in daylight, so any fashion discussion strikes me as pretty abstract. Fashion-wise, I prefer public indecency myself, preferably in others. As to the price of the beret - just nick it or pirate your own with a £3 black one and a white-out pen if you must look like that. It'll teach the designers for being fashionistas.

quote:I think you may be getting carried away in the heat of the discussion. You can't seriously mean that a person's ability to comply with their employer's dress code (even one as strict as yours) is an indication of how well they perform their duties. My brother was top recruit in his intake in the air force - he didn't earn that honour based on his appearance. quote:You've clearly never worn chiffon. quote:Of course clothes can be a method of identification - your career choice is an example of that, as are the sub-cultures (eg goth) where people try to conform in appearance. My previous post was made because I took offence at your implication that I lack self-respect because I wear average 'normal' clothing. I thought my explanation of why I wear average clothing demonstrated that I have a healthy sense of self-respect. BTW there's nothing wrong with being gay, one of my closest friends at work is gay. I'd suggest you calm down, and think a little more rationally before you make your next post. Some of statements you've made are sure to attract flamers. -------------------- We meet and part now over all the world; we, the lost company, take hands together in the night, forget the night in our brief happiness, silently. -- Judith Wright My website Posts: 512 | Registered: Wednesday, February 12 2003 08:00 |

Oh, no, not another homosexuality argument... *runs for the bunker before the resident homo/bisexual members show up to kill WebWarrior* Oh, and to stay on topic, I wear jeans and a shirt. Sometimes the shirt has a line or some words on it. I really couldn't care less about how my clothes look. -------------------- My BoE graphics archive is finally getting started! Yay!

Oops. My apologies. At 2am it looked to me as if you mentioned your sergeant as an example in support of your argument that appearance is important. -------------------- We meet and part now over all the world; we, the lost company, take hands together in the night, forget the night in our brief happiness, silently. -- Judith Wright My website Posts: 512 | Registered: Wednesday, February 12 2003 08:00 |
