Men or teens?


You seem to be getting caught up on the word struggle.

The struggle is the same one that all of us go through - sexual and personal identity. It's not just about wether to wear Hello Kitty.

This is what I mean by identity struggle in this context

Oh, I believe it is.

I interpret this as a more complex issue than just a single decision to wear Hello Kitty. That decision is just one of many thousands of decisions that people make in an attempt to define who they to themselves and within society.

But your view is accepted.

I like that people in certain places feel more free to express themselves. I've been in way too many places where just wearing black incites adverse reactions. The world is way too uptight in general.

I hope so... if not, it wouldn't be the first time I made an, um, assumption

.

I was at a party in San Francisco and saw a gorgeous, absolutely stunning, supermodel hot person walking around. My roommate at the time was friends with a lot of the people there, so I figured maybe he could introduce us. I said "Dude, do you know her?" "Yep." "Do you know if she's single?" "Don't know, why don't you go ask him." HIM! Of course this was a major buzzkill, but I've got to say that you have to give the guy some credit, he totally passed as a woman, and a super hot one at that. Thank god for my roommate; if he hadn't stopped me I would have probably been in for the surprise of my life.

That's nuts. Some poor schmuck somewhere will think someone's aiming a toy gun at him and then the madness will begin.

Yes - it's just the thing to pull a job with.

I'm not a walking billboard, not until I start getting paid to wear a particular brand, which is never going to happen.

and what a name to go with the attitude!
