Wakinyan Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Is clothing something we need? I sometimes still get a little self conscious about being naked all the time but I have to accept how utterly ridiculous it would be for me to wear clothing. What about the rest of us. Is it still modesty or style that drives us to wear the latest Eufiber or slip on those old worn pair of jeans? I just notice I am the only one one here that is naked all the time. (maybe with the exception of Cull and a few others) No one seems to mind me being naked. It's like the social requirements of modesty went out the window because I am not humanesque anymore. I still have all my clothing from 'before'. I look at it from time to time to remind me of what was. Maybe I should just give it to Goodwill or something. I caught a strange scent coming off of them and was confused for a long time before I finally figured out that was the way I used to smell. Trippy.

billy Horrorshow Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Look, if people give you weird looks because your fuzzy wang is dragging across the floor, then you know why we "need" clothing. In an ideal world, all garden of Eden style, we don't need clothes. And no, society is not ready for us to just abolish clothing (Novas be damned), just look at what happened to Golden Adonis when he decided to do that very thing. City Defenders, Legal action, and even a cameo by the Pax Police (T2M). As far as California is concerned, if you have genitalia, clothing of some sort is required. Or at least tiny, tiny shorts.

kestrel404 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Pockets. I wear clothes primarily so that I have pockets. Of course, I just don't feel right not wearing my lab coat - and I look very silly in just a jumpsuit! Middle aged bald man in jumpsuit. Oh so very fashionable.

Juri 'Salamander' McClendon Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Off my site, and yeah, I copyrighted it soon after my eruption. It's my only real source of income right now. I haven't actually sold that many, probably cause there aren't many self-erupted novas and I don't have a ton of fans, but hey, it's nice when someone wants one.Of cource, with Preston's Juri McClendon Defense Fund, I'm seeing more traffic and more business than before. www.no-quantum-accident.op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeslip Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Well, it's not like I have anything in the way of distinguishing features anymore. And most of the time I'm in eufibre, I set it up to mimic the starfield effect anyway; just seems more comfortable somehow. When it comes right down to brass tacks, I haven't much use for clothing anymore (aside from the aforementioned pocket factor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakinyan Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Well AS far as pockets go I do carry my 'saddle bags' around with me when I travel but that is usually just practical stuff. Wallet, keys, toothpaste. etc etc. Maybe I will at least speak to a designer and see what would look good on me but as of right now I just don't see myself in clothing. Also Condoms just don't compute for me Tarot. Not that I wouldnt want them but well there are other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurako Hino Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Sorry, my skirts don't go any higher than below the knee, thank you.Thing is, if I had pigtails that long, I'd probably get them caught in some sort of machinery.Ask some of the folk that were at the party in Tokyo near New Years. That's my... usual showing off self.Thing is, a sailor collared blouse is quite useful. Usually I hide a couple of extra batteries for a laptop or a small toolkit or something under the collar. One time I even interweaved the collar of one of my blouses with a photo-reactive threading that allowed me to use the collar as a flashlight. A variant saved my hide back in Mexico City some time ago.Then there was the one I wore at the Pow-Wow. That one had nice pockets for stuffing various micro-tools in, as well as a cooling array. 90 degree heat I don't like. >_<See, I have my reasons.

Sakurako Hino Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I don't use wands, Billy.The closest I got are remotes, and I rarely use even those these days.I swear... Whenever an American sees me in a sailor suit they immediately think Sailor Moon...Trust me, I'm neither magical nor a ditzy blonde.And that's something I never quite figured out...

Sakurako Hino Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I have those too, I just choose something I can feel when someone tries to steal something from me. Having a purse around your shoulder screams "steal this!"Besides, Purses are too small sometimes for my needs.And... ever see an inventor with a purse over her shoulder, hmm? It's about image as well. The closest thing I got is an atache case. Or a laptop bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the comedic enema migrated to this thread when you weren't looking.I know I'm going to regret this Sakurako but curiosity is gnawing at me. What do you do with all this crap when you get bored with it? There can't be much of a secondary market for glow in the dark collars. And how many do you really need in the wardrobe before you have too many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 ...It changes with my mood. I sometimes recycle materials to make new outfits. The hinopolymer fabrics and sheets I use are easily reclaimed and reused. I am not "over stocked" for a wardrobe. But occasionally I do have yard sales. Giving back as it were.I do keep a few of my... more creative creations for later.And you may not see the market, but it is the concept that may have the market. Think of it. Clothing that provides light. Can you forsee when you're in a dark place, like during a power outage, and have a ready light to use that you wear?Then again, some have likened me to Q from the James Bond movies when it comes to overstuffing my clothing with various gadgets. To me, wearible technology isn't a fanciful concept long past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurako Hino Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Heh... there is that image. Of course I've been trying to modify what I wear so as not to have it look like I'm on school holiday. Of course you can stick that image on me since I do have a few old school uniforms. Very few though. Then there was the one I wore at that little speech I gave at my old High School last year. That one was given to me.Of course, I have other outfits, but those outfits tend to make me look more dramatic than I need to be. The outfit I wore at the party on New-Years in Tokyo was... rather flashy.But since I've been associated with sailor suits, might as well be in something recognizable. I just try to put new spins on them.I should throw up on here some of the designs I scribble in my sketchpads.I have to confess something. When I was younger, I was a cosplayer. So, now that I have a node and all this wonderful material lying around... I can't help myself. Heck, I made a perfectly functioning plugsuit a while back. So, calling me a geek is only being redundant. At least now I can show off when I feel like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy Horrorshow Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 If we're going to talk about weird wardrobe, I've got nothing but T-shirts and the occassional Shag-ghoul Turtleneck, because everyone needs a bit of style, even me.And while I hate to say it, I've got one of the California "Quantum Accident" knock-off t-shirts right next to my "My Node is Bigger than Your Node" wife-beater...

billy Horrorshow Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hey, if I thought it would help Juri sell her's and not the local knock-offs, I'd wear one of hers on the show.And for what it's worth, I didn't know Juri had one out there until about 10 posts ago.

And who knows, personally I think just making a fake "Salamander burninates Bootleggers" news report would be much better coverage, if approached from the humor angle.Then again, live incineration on television....Man, if I'm not careful I'm going to turn into a masochist or something.

Lemmy Chillmeister Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Well, I'll chime in on the original question.I likee the clothes because A- They look slick. I don't have custom color plumage myself. YET. So I do with eufibre jeans and some kickass boots when I can. B- Well hey, nothing like slowing unzipping and pulling out the ten pounds of dangling fury to help keep the pace on an evening that's going nice. If you got it flopping about from step one it kinda eliminates some of the tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarot Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Sakurako, hinopolymer smells funny. It makes my nose itch. As for light... I think there's just the tiniest of execution problems here. Tell me, when you use a flash light do you shine it at the thing you want to scope out or do you shine it in your own eyes? If you really want to market light stuff then why don't you look at kiddie clothing. Parent would love that shit.Yes, we know you can morph your bod. Got it.

I would say that I've found what caused said "smell" and fixed it... but... not that it matters.And... I create for all markets. Where ever the chips land, I'm happy with the results. And what I meant by "frame" was the fact when I went to Lemmy's party, something happened before hand that made me look like a 12 year old. Seriously.
