LawTalkers - Fashion Board--Penske . . . forever!

For your information, the post you are so upset about has no enjoyment in it whatsoever. In fact, to make sure it didn't come off as anything but straightforward and not mean, I sent it to someone else (who everyone on this board respects as fair minded) before posting it. She gave me some suggestions, all of which I took, to soften the language. Although I knew you wouldn't like the review, I did not want you to be overly upset with the post. But I did not want to be dishonest about my opinion either. I think most people on this board (all smarter than you) saw that.

But, as you may have guessed, I no longer care whether your feelings get hurt. But I'm glad to have a new paigow to play with.

Actual Fashion-Related Question

I recently went on a clothes-shopping spree (one that appears to be continuing, NTTAWWT). While I was arranging to get some of the clothes altered, the salesguy asked if I wanted to have "functional buttonholes" sewn into the sleeves of my sportcoats. He then showed me how the buttons at the bottom of his sleeves were not merely decorative, but could be opened and closed.

WTF? What is the purpose of this? They look stupid if opened, and I can't think of any practical purpose to having a little half-inch opening at the bottom of your coat-sleeves. This did not seem worth paying another fifty bucks, per jacket, on top of what was already a seriously out-of-control purchase.

Now I'm worried. Did I miss out on a new trend? Was there some benefit that I failed to understand? Should I have gotten the functional button-holes?

On the bright side, I was wearing one of the new coats this morning and a really hot blond totally smiled and checked me out as I was leaving the gym.

But I've been told that the term "retarded" is no longer acceptable by someone on the internet.

And since this is all that I am about (unlike you, someone who posts the details of her dates and makes fun of those who you wouldn't consider dating using a forum in which they were not expecting to be made the object of group ridicule*) and you've uncovered the truth (<sniff>), I would just like to apologize to everyone who hadn't yet figured out me and my master plan.**

*You're a stupid fucking hypocrite.

**To lie in wait of a paralegal joining the board, bragging about her looks and then, using the carefully constructed false trust of other posters, spring my trap on her to label her as fat and not pretty! Mwahahaha! I LIVE for this!**

Oh! I forgot to tell this one to y'all. I told TM about a paralegal I work with that likes to say shocking things to me. He's a funny dude. So I asked him what he was doing over the weekend. And he responded he's going to the Hamptons and it is his "boy's" birthday and maybe he was going to get some hookers. So TM suggested that since I like expensive purses so much I should volunteer!!!!!!

Yup.

Alrighty then.

so let's see.

you're late. you stared at my tits and started arguing with me right accusing me that I'm lying about the size, you bring up rape right there and then, suggest I'm a whore, and then tell me I need to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth

Believe you me, asshole I can handle the truth

and not in a Paigow wack job kinda way

In that I came out, unscathed in dealing with an asshole and only got a fucking free glass of wine out of the deal. I should get a muthafucking t shirt. I survived asshole and won.

It is a sign of good tailoring from bespoke suits. Any asshole knows this, fucker.

It is to indicate that your suit is not off-the-rack, but custom made.

Was she, by chance, a banker?

The working button holes on the sleeves of your suit jacket have the purpose of demonstrating you are a bigger swinging dick than the guys with regular button holes on the sleeves of their suit jackets.

What exactly qualifies as "unscathed"? Reputation intact? Not perceived as completely insane by a community of lawyers who read chat-style message boards? Do tell.

Yeh, but once everyone knows about it, its not bespoke anymore. A few years back some TV show talked about how a good custom suit has stitching on the outside. Low and below, now everybody has stitching on the outside, some of it even mechanically made to look slightly uneven, to mimic hand stitching.

I've never even looked to see if the buttons work.
