I also heard a couple of days ago about Genesis reuniting now, although I don't know which version of it.

A few people have told me I look like Sting. But then again, I've also been told I look like Ewan McGreggor, Toby Maguire, Chris O'Donnell, Vladimir Kulich (who played Buliwyf from The Thirteenth Warrior), Woody Harrelson, Vin Diesel, a member of a "boy band" lik 98° or Backstreet Boys (not one in particular, just some generic type), some wrestler in the WW... CF... W... E... F... whatever it is now... and most recently Robin Williams.

Based on the above, I think it's safe to say that what I actually look like is... a white guy.

Default Re: Things that make you shudder....

I get the shudders when I happen to inadvertently spot a woman with a huge butt.

Not just a huge butt, but one that is encased in tight-fitting pants.

Not only a woman with a huge butt that is encased in tight-fitting pants, but pants that are PINK!

DAY-GLO PINK!

There must be a law somewhere.

Retcchhh.


Now, ladies, I'm sure you have counterexamples...


PS: Although I am in pretty good shape for my age, I will never, ever wear a Speedo or a thong.

You can get, Gods help us all, 3X tube tops and short-shorts.

As you can imagine, I can cite more than a few examples from ren faire. A couple of years ago, this very unattractive man with a potbelly was running around in what looked to me like a fur diaper. This is where the "pants are your friend!" chant has its origins.

Ugh, I hope it had leak-guards in it!

I once saw a woman walking up Highland Ave in Rochester, NY wearing a lacy bra, opaque tights, high heels, and....not much else.

She was built like a tank too. NOT a pretty sight.

What makes me shudder a little is looking back at pictures of how I dressed when I was young. The only excuse I have is that it was the 70s, everyone dressed badly...

The only time I've ever been fashionable was the early '90s; grunge was good for me.

That fact that you're still posting indicates you didn't notice the hair.

I was hoping to avoid that topic.
