Actually got it for like $40 at Ross. Upgrading to a new jacket soon, and probably won't even wear a jacket come summertime. It also has a detachable hood, and a few hidden pockets on the inside.

Thanks Boom!!

That's crazy, i've been to Ross never seen a jacket like that. That looks like something I find at express for like $125. I'm going to Ross to see if I can find one...

left is not gay where I'm from.

Check Nordstrom Rack too, lots of designer threads for really good prices. I get a good majority of my attire from there

Also check the outlet malls in your area, sometimes their sales can be pretty awesome

Society believes that if just your right ear is pierced, it's a sign that you're gay.

The earring I wear isn't something that most guys would wear. It has a cool design, but hangs low, and I rock the shit out of it.

As you can tell by the pic, I don't dress like a lot of the guys who first get into this. At least, not as far as the peacocking goes.

Jeans, black button up, motorcycle boots, and when it's cold I wear that jacket. I wear a thin necklace that gets tucked into my shirt, and you can really only see the chain.

So, pretty plain.

I wear that earring, because I like it, and girls notice it. They ALWAYS want a better look at it, which when they lean in, I usually just tease them for trying to kiss me after having just met me, I'm not that easy yadda yadda yadda.

I learnded that in the US, it was supposed to symbolize something.

But it obviously works for you.

Do you ever get girls that tease you about it?

I tried the feather boa and goggles one night. I almost got into a fight from it. Guys made fun of me and I told them I was holding it for their dad. I said we were going to a rave later and he wanted me to hold it for him since he likes to be the catcher and I like to be the pitcher. The girls laughed. The guy took a swing at me, but I used my Kempo Dodge number 7 and the bouncers grabbed him.

Didn't get a number that night.

You are a very sexy man Boom. Do you think that a less attractive guy, like me, needs to peacock more to get attention? Or less to look less dorky?

Boom is a very sexy man McGeek, but more importantly, he has a fully developed avatar. He dresses like a bad ass who doesn't give a shit, he just rolls out of bed looking that good. He rides a bad ass motor cycle and walks with an easy confident swagger. So his style is less about what specifically he is wearing and more about expressing himself, his fully formed avatar, through his cloths.

Sure, peacocking will always get you attention, both negative and positive, but it isn't needed any more than anything else is needed. If you can make your outward style reflect DHVs about you, and make it look good, then you've unlocked a powerfull thing, something more powerfull than full on peacocking, in my opinion.

So what you're saying is that I need to be able to show more of who I am through my outward appearance.

Problem is, I'm not 100% sure what that is yet. And because I'm not totally confident in myself like Boom is, I think I'm looking for clothes to make me feel like what I want to be instead of vice versa.

Other than my Kempo expertise and magic skills, I don't know what else to DHV and I don't know how to show that in my clothes.

Thanks for the input NSM.

You guys are too nice, it makes it hard to keep making jokes. Not used to guys being cool like that. Thanks.

I wrote this a while back to be an in debth style article. Hopefully it will give you more to think about when considering your style and developing your abatar.

I gotta be honest. I think you have a man crush on Boom. Is it the ear ring?
