I'm sure you will get more interesting answers, but nothing fancy here. I'm a very casual guy - at home it is usually the very basics or jogging/lounge stuff or shorts and a T.

The only labels that make it in my wardrobe are Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Jockey, Levi Strauss & Nike

LOL

I'm a jeans a t-shirt kinda boy. I like Calvin Klein and Polo Ralph Lauren jeans (they seem to fit my big butt better :P ). However, I recently picked up a couple of pair of Levi's (which, normally, I can't wear because they never fit right) that look *fabulous* --- low-rise (my 1st pair of low-rise jeans ever), straight leg, boot cut and oh-so perfectly distressed (well, one pair is probably better described as destroyed. my mother would flip if she knew I bought jeans brand new that had that many rips and holes in them). I don't do the button down oxford type shirt very often because I detest that blousing you get when you tuck 'em in and leaving them untucked just makes me feel like I'm wearing a mumu. If I could find a trimmer fit in button downs, I'd probably pick up a couple. I'm getting more into athletic fit shirts (I'm not busting my ass at the gym to hide it all :lol: ), especially t-shirts and pullovers. If it doesn't fit snuggly, I don't want it (especially considering that it seems I only wear real clothes as opposed to work clothes when I go out). I starting buying my first ever muscle shirts over the summer and I'm sure I'll pick up more next summer. Love me some 2xist! I'm also developing a like for Greg Homme, Ginch Gonch. I do want to eventually pick up a pair of Diesel jeans and, maybe, a pair of Seven for all Mankind (but they're so damned expensive). I've got my eye on this HOT Diesel long-sleeved t-shirt that's onsale online that I definitely picking up. If I'm dressing up, I tend to like Calvin Klein or Claiborne, but I don't have cause for dressing up too often. I think ever single pair of underwear I own is Calvin Klein, even though I never wear any under jeans. And regarding accessories, I'm a Fossil boy all the way from watch to wallet to sunglasses to belts, although there is a cool belt with a lion's head buckle that I'm determined to pick up online in the next few weeks. I like a lot of A&F stuff even though a lot of people criticize guys my age (35) for wearing it. It's a good thing I don't really look my age (I'm convinced that gay men age at a slower rate, even though 35 is considered 50 in gay years). However, their jeans are definitely made for skinny twinks only. And you can't go wrong with Gap.

Hopefully, by next summer, I'll be out dancing in dangerously low-rise jeans and no shirt. I'll show those little bois. B)

Are you sure. Look in the mirror again! :lol::P

I wear Levi jeans and have a pair of Calvin Klein. As for shirts its all Ralph Lauren for me. :D I wear Guess watches. I hate Fossil watches. :P I forget what type of sunglasses I own. :lol:

So Matt you wear no undies when in jeans? :P:unsure: As Sophia would say..."You Slut!" :lol: (just joking with ya! ;) )

Matt, I like 2xist underwear. Have a few pairs. And a few CK briefs too. I forgot all about them when I posted before because the other brand names I gave are more prominant.

I have tried the "commando" under jeans too. I don't do it all the time but it is a nice switch up from time to time.

Love the Sophia comment Soapsuds. I love her.

Matt you talk about 35 - wait until you are 41. Since I have started exploring my bi-side some in the last year or so, you are right that at certain ages to gay or bi men you might as well be 50 or dead. LOL

I've noticed lately that younger boys will get with older guys if the older guy has money. Other than that...you might have problems. haha

Anyway I still prefer the AE, A&F, GAP, Hollister sometimes, and Banana Republic. Old Navy has ok jeans sometimes - but Old Navy just screams white trash to me. lol

Try Earnest Sewn for jeans. They have a better fight than Seven Jeans.

I have NO ASS in Seven Jeans, but I look bootylicious in Earnest Sewn. :lol:

Anyway, I have jeans from Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Mossimo, Diesel, A&F, AE, Earnest Sewn, H&M, Aeropostale and a few no name brands.

Shirts: Old Navy, A&F, AE, Banana Republic, Express, Aeropostale, Dior, Ralph Lauren, H&M and J. Crew (how I love thee J Crew!)

Don't wear watches, rings or anything of the sort. I have a DKNY wallet. Eventually I'll cough up the money for one from Coach or Louis Vuitton Damier Canvas.

:lol:

Their jeans don't fit well on me. Their shirts are much better.

I'm cheap. All of mine are Hanes Classics tightie whities. Boxers give saggy teabags.

My style is simple and casual. For example, right now I'm wearing a brown t-shirt with The Doors on it, with a pair of Southpole jeans and white Nikes. Monday I might be wearing some blue/denim Brooklyn jeans with a white polo t-shirt and on the weekend I might be in a plain white t-shirt and short cargo pants. I guess it just depends on were I'm going and how I feel.

    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
