Does fashion matter?
Have you ever had a date show up and their entire outfit was inappropriate or maybe even bizarre? I think it seems like a silly thing to “deduct” points on when you are checking somebody out. Does fashion really matter that much, though?
I remember talking to a guy who said he didn’t call for a second date because the woman showed up to the first date looking too conservative. He said she may as well have worn a “nun habit” considering how little skin she was showing.
What do you think fashion and style says about our personalities and image on the dating scene?
Would you dump someone because you didn’t like the way they dressed?
Is it ever a good idea to give wardrobe “suggestions” to people you are dating? What if you were in a relationship, do you think it’s ok to change your significant others’ clothing or style?
When you see people out and about, is it their “style” that catches your eye before their looks?
Happy Friday!

I’ve never been into make-up so I will take your word for it. My mom even lowered the make-up age for me because i was so fair skinned and like I said my sister is a Mary K consultant and she is forever trying to get me to go there…….

blue, Juggalos have a fest every year that is sponsored by the Insane Clown Posse’s Label. I did not know Tila Tequila rapped either. But they were booing her and she then took off her top and was showing her boobies while she was rapping in an effort to gain the “juggalos” awe. Well they took offense to it and started hittinh her with bottles and throwing feces at her then attacking her and her security. Method Man just got clocked about 45 seconds into his rap. There are videos of them both happening on the web. Insane Clown Posse said it was Tila’s and Method man own fault that they got attacked. (just goes to show that violence does not only happen at “urban” concerts) Here is the article:

Melo, I am not a Falcon fan but I was at the game. Their Secondary was not their regular players and during the preseason only people who are giving there all are 2nd and 3rd stringers and those trying to make the team. They had a good season last year and will do even better this year without all of last years injuries, plus teams don’t want to giveaway to many secrets during the preseason. I am a tad concerned with my Vikings though, Percy with health issues, Brett is back but beefing with Childress already and a few other key injuries.
They concert was just a small part of a Large Festival with outher activities. I like Method Man but I would not go to a concert to see him. Concerts are for young people imo

Good Afternoon folks!
I like to see women dress in clothes that fit. I do not want to see your floppy t.i.t.s hanging out, please were a bra. Nor do I want to see cellulite hanging all over the place.
@ABC…Men only need blk and gray suits are you serious? You must be from the fifties…. YES you are from the 2 colored suit fifties. Dude I rock many different colored suits. Especially blue with a multitude of different shirts. I also have my summer suits also.
I like to dress, being neat, clean and winkle free is a must.

u know what i mean….
I dont want to be an ignoramus,shouting vociforously in support of a team with so-so talent and off the radar of most knowledgeable football pundits…sounding like a dog,barking threateningly(??) and incessantly to the moon,in the darkness of the nite.
