ayo yall If anyone wants to buy any pokemon cards/yu-gi-oh/magic, or saint laurent/raf simons/etc. clothes i'll give you a crazy Fam discount!

You bought 6k worth of of designer clothes in anticipation of the day you had enough confidence to wear them? you earned that L

lmao, nah it wasn't that I thought I could one day pull em off. A lot of time it's just buying clothes thinking they look good online and when they arrive, they just don't look as good as they did in the pictures. And I wouldn't really say it's an L since I'm making the money back + more on a the most expensive pieces that have gone up in value. For example buying an SLP shirt for 250 dollars in 2014 and it's worth 750 dollars today. Or a different one that's worth 1000 dollars now (not trying to sell that one yet though)

I'd say half of them I actually have worn and have enjoyed wearing, but yeah a ton of clothes i've bought I've never actually worn.

@Elric

Anyone else here collect any trading cards when they were young or just me? When I was 8 every week I would get my 5 dollar allowance and run down to the local card shop (Card Dog it was called) and buy the booster packs just hoping to pull a Holo each time. The original form of gambling Looking over these cards now getting crazy nostalgia I'm starting to remember why this was like crack for me back in the day

Ah so you're my girlfriend constantly buying clothes online knowing damn well the chances of it fitting and feeling good are miniscule. I have to wear something for like ten minutes in-store before Im positive I'll actually keep it in my rotation lol. And even then some stuff gets neglected.

And yeah even when I made stupid money I didn't care/wasn't aware of brands anyway and always just wanted the most low-key, label fee stuff. Sometimes it was expensive but I never recognized brands.

Reseller world nothing I've ever delved into on either end.

I had Marvel fleer cards immaculate paintings of superheroes on hockey cards basically lol. One of the few things I used to collect that I completely lost still have all my comics though.

I never buy branded stuff, as in stuff that reveals the brand on the clothing itself (like those awful Balmain shirts that have the logo in big lettering on the front). I only buy something if I think it will look good and the brand name is hidden.

And for whatever reason I usually can't ever find things in the lower price range that I think look good enough to wear. I think buying a 200 dollar shirt is a good Invesment if you know you'll wear it for the next 20+ years/it won't break like most fast fashion. Most things people buy from Zara/brands like that they just end up throwing out after a year or falling apart. (I have a shirt with a beautiful pattern from Zara that I've had to get fixed like 5 times because the buttons always fall off)

My biggest mistake is doing online shopping instead of going into the store more. But a lot of pieces are things I buy that are only available in Europe/Japan etc.

Yeah I've started doing more clothes shopping while in Europe cause you find amazing stuff you don't see out here.

I never spend hundreds on a shirt cause they're too at risk for staining and s*** but I agree for all other articles of clothing. Having said that i do have alot of concert shirts from decades ago that are still in good shape aside from the fading.

Heading to Rio de Janeiro tomorrow. Gotta meet the missus' family then spend 2 weeks sipping caipirinhas on the copacabana

Your missus Brazilian?

Her mum is. She moved to the UK when she was young but grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins are all in Rio so we got places to stay

Been listening to this very fun Brazilian psych album today to get myself prepared

Brazilian music is dope. Jealous you get to travel so much my guy. Hope you have fun with your missus you should go exploring the favela slums by yourself like in City of God!

Yes I remember the moral of City of God was that favelas are fun and safe places to explore!

Favela top 5 map on mw2

exactly, the danger is part of the fun

that was a good one

remember the level where you have to gun down 1000s of innocent people in the airport with the russian terrorists imagine that being made today

unrelated but holy f*** my balls itch

crying picturing a recurring nightmare where wayne is dying and you just see a sad coleen lmaooo

I usually buy darker clothing anyway because it looks better on my skin tone, so don't have to worry as much about staining. White tees I can't go a week without staining. But interestingly some of my nicer white pieces like my Celine button down has held up pretty well and no stains that I can notice. Might have to part ways with it though soon could prolly pull around half a grand for that jawn and would be pretty crazy not to sell at this point.

fuuuuck Monster is finally out in NY. Might have to go see it tomorrow tbh, been waiting like 6 months now. i'll probably miss the Lanthimos joint unless it's exceptionally good. lmk how it is I wasn't a huge fan of The Favourite.
The Bradley Cooper Bernstein biopic was extremely disappointing.

Do you have a letterboxd btw?

S*** was insane even back then but would definitely be undoable nowadays
