I’m searching mad hard for a summer look, yall. Just need to ‘keep it fresh.’ I am sort of looking for something that fits in with the modern world–not trying to copy aesthetics from the past several years. Thinking about getting some sort of bowl cut, but then also possibly having ‘a lil tail’ in the back [via mullet]. I just want people to know that I am ‘willing to adapt’ to trends, and that I’m not really stuck with just 1 mediocre look.
This summer, I think I want to be ‘post-sexual’, maybe a little bit like an androgynalt. Don’t want people to know what sex I am. I want ppl 2 b attracted to me for ‘what’s on the inside’ and not because of bullshit biological factors like ‘gender’ and ’sexual organs.’ I just feel like we need to start realizing that you can make love with any1 if we want to have peace in the Middle East. We need to stop worrying about bullshit societal and biological norms.
But srsly yall, do u know any good summer looks? Wonder if gladiator sandals will come back–saw them selling some at WalMart.

Should I just go to the gym to ‘get ripped’ then buy some board shorts and get a summer job as a lifeguard?

If I get a record hat, will it melt in the sun if I wear it to a pool partie?

Yall I need yalls help. do u know any good ’summer stores’ other than the local thrift store “The Old Navy”?

@gno, yeah, for summer bros, this is a decent look. kinda sad, but a lot of people will be wearing last year’s Pacsun bored shorts.
i think being ripped (while still being under 150 pounds) might be alt this year. still pending, i guess

@dick wad, Yeah, but the question is: Is clickmoney enough to live off of? How many hipsters/anti-hipsters/sociologists frequent this blog? And who even clicks on ads?
