White patent leather chaps with little cherries printed on them, a baby blue silk suit coat with the sleeves cut off, green ostrich skin cowboy boots, and a huge gold medallion shaped like a hand grenade.

[QUOTE=Cluricaun]  
Well of course, otherwise I’d have my Lone Ranger mask and my red flames covered sparkle painted 70’s motorcycle helmet on too. I’m relaxing today.

I looked at your web page. You drink expensive bourbon. That is why you are not right in the head. The good stuff makes you crazy; it’s like it’s too much for your neurons or something. Stick with the cheap stuff and you won’t dress so funny. 😛

</div>

black corduroys, beige panties that probably have stains, white sports bra, t-shirt with a lion on it (because I needed another furry shirt. Too bad it’s the wrong species. But it’s cute anyway). And because it’s cold in here, a brown corduroy jacket. And I’m not wearing them right now, but brown cute sandals.

A long back teeshirt type thing with a design embroidered on it, black silk pants absolutly no underwear.

And if we’re doing jewlery, my two rings from my Dom, and the necklace that stands in for my collar.

Barefoot. Jean shorts. If you unbutton those, you’ll find white boy shorts. White tank. My favorite watch, wedding ring.

Women in outfits like these are is what makes summer bearable for most men. Thank you.

I’m wearing tan slacks, a pastel green polo shirt, skyblue boxer-briefs, and brown leather shoes and brown belt.

It’s the bourbon that calms me down. This is what happens when you put grain alcohol and DMT in a 40oz of Hurricane malt liquor.

Navy blue button-front short-sleeve shirt over beige T-shirt. Jeans. Boxer-briefs. Socks in some kind of checkered pattern I can’t describe. [These shoes](http://www.merrell.com/Product/NZSZZZ/Mens-Casual-Footwear/Laceups/Mens/Peat-Moss/J43817/Sojourn.aspx).

Ankle length spaghetti strap rayon dress, in a violent tie dye pattern–predominantly kelly green, purple and blue. And a silver celtic knot pendant on a silver chain–and reading glasses.

Schedule I cocktail???

Dude, just thinking of that totally barfs me out.  
:eek: 😃

I’d need a smack on the head with a hammer to calm me down after ingesting that.

In the spirit of the original post, update on what I’m wearing:

Superman tee, hip hugger jeans, big black belt, black ankle boots, red bandana, aforementioned funky jewelry, stainless steel watch, boring underwear, white crew socks.

For some reason I’m fascinated by the What Are You Wearing and What Are You Eating threads. To me they say a lot about people; it’s interesting!

Black pinstripe pants, satin empire-waist top (that DOESN’T look like a maternity top, yay!) in a floral print of black, beige, coppper, violet and pewter, nude bra, peach panties, black mary-janes, wedding band, grey cats-eye jewelry, and a heavy black velour jacket because, to quote **Litoris** ,

Yeah, I started this thread in order to help me procrastinate on something I’m dodging at work, but I actually feel like I got a clearer picture of who some of you really are.

In my case, it’s business wear, so that doesn’t really count, does it? I hope not, because I’m only about the business when I’m at work.

Now that I’m off work, I’m wearing jeans and a t-shirt that has a picture of Jesus and Satan side by side that says _He Loves Me…He Loves Me Not_ no socks, no shoes, and a cold one.

No worries! That t-shirt sounds funny. 🆒

It’s good to be all about the business when you’re at work. Where I work there are times when I go in dressed like I am now and times when I actually have to look like a grown-up. I can tell you I am amazed still at how differently people in public react to me depending on what I’m wearing.

As to that cold one… A cold beer sounds good on a hot summer day, but for me only in theory. I just can’t drink beer. I tried for years and all I got was indigestion and chubby. (The only exception seemed to be Guinness Stout.) I was visiting my family a couple of weeks ago and because that’s all we had access to and I was too lazy to find a liquor store, I tried some of my boy cousin’s Pabst Blue Ribbon and had diarrhea for two days. Now there’s something you all needed to know about me! 😃

I am at the moment on my second glass of Conch y Toro Carmenere red wine. I have no idea what that kind of wine is, but it’s good and it’s cheap.

I went to your website too. Is that your band? You guys sound good!

Oversize navy-blue ‘Who Ya Callin’ Small Fry?’ Tweety bird T-shirt, jeans, plain black/white flipflops, work badge, designer glasses, and cheap aluminium ring/silver earrings. Requisite delicates.

It’s laundry day or I’d be wearing a newer T-shirt from Threadless that fits me better.

(some days I love working here – as long as you don’t offend people with your clothes you’re good in general)

Really sex, wha?  
[/QUOTE]  
Well, as [Grandpa Jones](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandpa_Jones) was usually answered,

\*“Yum-m yum-m!” \* 😉

The question, of course, would have been, "Hey Grandpa, what’s Annie XMas wearing now?

> **[Hee Haw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hee_Haw)**

> Hee Haw is an American television variety show featuring country music and humor with the fictional rural "Kornfield Kounty" as the backdrop. It aired from 1969 to 1993. Reruns of the series were broadcast on TNN from 1996 to 1997 on RFD-TV from September 2008 to April 2020, and aired on Circle. The Hee Haw reruns resumed in May 2024 on the RFD-TV / RuralTV network.
> The show was inspired by Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, but centered on country music, rural rather than pop culture–inspired humor...

I also have a red bra and black panties on, if anyone cares. :o
