Although looking at [these](http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=40644), I think calling them only questionable is giving them too much credit.

I dunno, the wolf in the t-shirt looks remarkably 3 dimensional.

Yeah, the wolf shirt’s cool.

The guy in the leotard, on the other hand… :eek:

The one on top makes sense if it was taken during the Pride Parade.

I don’t care where it was taken, it’s still “questionable”!😃

Number one is a little humorous to me because of the bollard behind rainbow-booty man.

Number six doesn’t look quite right. The green stuff looks fake.

Number seven looks fake too - looks like the dude was cut from a different photo and pasted.

I think number ten is a dude.

I don’t think that there is any question at all.

Maybe you’ve isolated the questionable facor.

His problem isn’t necessarily that he’s a dude in a skirt. He should first find a skirt which _fits_. Then, he shouldn’t wear formal makeup with informal attire.

The green striped pants are probably real. I’ve seen similar pants in person. I’ve also got a friend who has a jacket made of the same neon green material. The guy in photo ten looks like a really bad drag queen.

I thought they looked reflective, so maybe they were real. But the chick’s green “suspenders” things … don’t even look attached. I guess they could be reflective also.

I see a few characters walking along State Street with their whole booty outta their pants like that. When I drive by I giggle, thinking about pinching 'em. Heh.

Were those all from the same prom?!? Looks like it- I especially love the guys’ track suits color-coordinated to their dates’ dresses!

:eek:

Hmm, I’m getting a “Site restricted because of content” when I click on the link from work. Now I’m \*really \*curious.

Probably in the legitimate belief that none of the content at [i-am-bored.com](http://i-am-bored.com) was likely to be related to company business.

But what if he’s a fashion designer?

How come the same two frumpy black girls are wearing most of the featured outfits?

Then you definitely wouldn’t want him going there. He might catch something.

I love characters and these links were awesome.

Also, every time I feel like I am weird stuff like this makes me feel less weird.

Thank you! 🆒

You could probably spend less money on an off-the-rack dress that would be more flattering than one of those custom ones that shows off your flesh rolls and pancake boobs.
