jukel123 9,290 Posted January 3, 2024 Report Share Posted January 3, 2024 Throughout history men enjoyed dressing up. There was a brief period in the sixties when men could legitimately ponce about with long hair, flowery shirts and flared trousers. But for the most part men are supposed to leave dressing up to women. I don't like the pitbull man look. Shaved head and gold chain plus tattoes on pumped up arms. It's embarrassing. Although I admit to bald head bit. Peace and love brothers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 9,290 Posted January 3, 2024 Report Share Posted January 3, 2024 For a good few years we used to holiday in Corfu. In Corfu Town there's a group of cafe restaurants known as the Esplanade. The building were british in design and construction. When we first visited lots of brits passed time there dressed in Panama hats and white suits. It was some sort of ex_ pat colonial fest. I'm sure the customers were all playing out some fantasy. Interesting anyway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I lived in Hong Kong in hindsight I should have worn a white linen suit and Panama hat,I did have a Miami vice style pastel suit and loafers for BBQ’s at Repulse Bay,but let the side down normally in shorts and T shirt,Alan Whicker wouldn’t have approved.

Don’t know mate . My missus got her eyebrows, eyeliner and lip lines tattooed one day in Pattaya when her and her pal were supposed to be shopping, I couldn’t believe it ! No way would I trust them with anything like that back in the 80’s, hygiene wasn’t the top priority back then ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
