Ice cream pimp! BWAAAAHHAAAAAA!
oh, hell, go for it!! it’s PERFECT for the female pirate with flair.
OH MY SWEET FREAKIN HEART!!!
I WANT, I WANT, I WANT!!! That Pirate coat!
Fans self
Don’t forget your poofy shirt.
Here are my fav shoes. Ideal for dancing!
I live one block from the Port Authority bus terminal. The area has been cleaned up to a relatively nice level over the past ten years. That being said, if you show up here on the bus from somewhere in the Midwest, decked out in Manhattan half-boot and the Times Square trenchcoat . . . well, let’s just say sometimes it’s ok to have a setback.
This outfit would have been perfect for an Edwardian garden party, ca 1910! All the guy needs is a straw boater hat to complete the picture…cucumber sandwiches anyone? Remind me at the next wicket, old boy…this croquet game is getting fierce!
I am loath to admit that I bought this vest last year and I’m quite pleased with it. I just wish the cataloge didn’t make me think of Peter Graves in the movie “Airplane!”
“Billy, have you ever seen been to a Turkish prison?”
Love the London operea trench coat too, I’m buying that for myself for father’s day.
I am all over that Bond-villian look!
Yeah, but the problem with that is that a “waistcoat” refers to a vest. And whatever that is, it ain’t no vest.
They should change the name to the “Femme Pirate Jacket”. That’s much better.
Oooh! Pair it up with theUltimate Poet Shirt and these boots*, and it’ll be perfect!
*I really, really, REALLY, want those boots.
There is/was an International Male store right in the heart of Gay West Hollywood, CA.
It was always a good chuckle to go in there and see the clothes.
But as you may have noticed from the models wearing the clothes - the guys who can get away with wearing that stuff are the same guys who could wear a pink shag carpet kilt and get away with it.
For most of us, we would look truly ridiculous wearing that stuff.
Oh, and please don’t ask if they have that suit if you have a 52" waist size. It probably won’t look as pretty on you. In that case, I would also keep my distance from those beach thongs.

MPCA is Midwest Popular Culture Association Annual Conference . But it’s some sort of British Popular Culture thingie, and it is held the weekend of 8-10 October – the info so far is here:
I was so hoping it was the International Society of Astrophysicists or something, but this is still good. I say go for it. Conferences are always so dull, eye candy could only be helpful. And cartoons. Don’t forget to include several cartoons in your presentation.
(BTW, definitely go for the Mary Quant. With, perhaps, some Wicked Witch of the West striped tights. Someone had better had take pictures! Kittenblue? Please? 
).
Okay, some of these catalog items are truly horrifying (the lavender shoes left me - speechless :eek: ), but it would be so much more fun if people were wackier dressers. I like the Pirate Coat, too. I mean, why just get in costume for Ren faires and Halloween? Why not to run down to the 7-11? Personally, I wouldn’t mind slinking around in something Morticia-esque everyday…
I’m glad you said that. I was thinking the same thing, but I’m not a big fashion expert so I figured the folks at International Male knew better than me what a waistcoat it.
