In other words: no ear protection for them, either. <BR/><BR/>Oh, vanity!thirdworstpoetinthegalaxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18311347759904615303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680390.post-25486137822010565152007-02-10T11:08:00.000-06:002007-02-10T11:08:00.000-06:00My former roommate, you know the one T, used to sa...My former roommate, you know the one T, used to say, "You have to be willing to suffer for style." And he did. Then there was Mollie's roommate, a fellow Tennessean who didn't even have the excuse of style. He wouldn't wear a scarf, gloves, or hat in single digit temps just because he'd never worn them before and was too stubborn to acknowledge the necessity. I added both of these guys to my list of things I don't understand and never will. I mean, I generally like to look nice. I'm not willing to go all "Elmer Fudd," no offense Winter. But red ears, blue lips, and a pronounced shiver do not look nice on anybody, regardless of how long they spent on their hair. And frostbite, which is a real concern at the temps you all are having, is not pretty. The key is finding the hat that is both warm and stylish, or close enough to each to be acceptable. Even if one claims, "I don't look good in hats," there has to be something that will work. I am a firm advocate of compromise.Unacademic Advisorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745882950102661361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680390.post-11196924487959056882007-02-09T21:50:00.000-06:002007-02-09T21:50:00.000-06:00you know what's funny?

I've found that when the temperatures are extreme, comfort always rules over style.<BR/><BR/>When I lived in Wisconsin I used to tell myself in the winter "screw style; I'm just trying to stay warm." So when I decided to move to Miami I figured I could resume caring about style. But then summer rolled around down here and low and behold it was too hot and too humid to think about style. Once again I had to find clothes that just allowed my skin to breathe and didn't make me sweat even more.<BR/><BR/>My next move is going to be to a middle-of-the-road climate.James Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473394820537351385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680390.post-5697648048683089902007-02-09T19:55:00.000-06:002007-02-09T19:55:00.000-06:00I agree that there are so many "fashion" trends th...I agree that there are so many "fashion" trends that are ridiculous ie. flip-flops in winter. My problem is when people poke fun at me for being sensible. I have this really warm "Elmer Fudd" hat I sometimes wear. It never fails that someone makes a comment. You know the ones, "Hey man, nice hat!" *chuckle, snort* <BR/><BR/>That's right, I AM WARM A-hole!!XOXOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148102601705438305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21680390.post-60898464861733736972007-02-09T16:59:00.000-06:002007-02-09T16:59:00.000-06:00I wear a hat.

I don't mind be warm, but I don't like being hot. Luckily, the pea coat I wear does have large pockets so I can stuff it in them. <BR/><BR/>Its fun to wear, though, particularly with my pea coat because it makes me look "menacing" or something like that (in my mind at least-- the one that is getting roasted by said hat). I look like a lost seaman on leave, or a disgruntled new englander... oh, wait, reduntancy... lol<BR/><BR/>As for it being cold? Yeah, its cold. But look at this way, at least you haven't had to deal with the 100 inches of snow they are getting in upstate New York. Now, that's not, pardon the pun, cool.loofrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536726261625483977noreply@blogger.com
