You guys ever get gussied up?

I like dressing nice at church or the theatre.

My go-to outfit is usually a bold colored french cuffed shirt in polyester or rayon, a contrasting colored vest, a necktie that accents the shirt and vest, and some bangin' cuff links. To borrow a line from John Mulaney, I look like I'm going to church in Atlanta.

I'm looking to upgade my dressup game with ascots. Especially when wearing my pin stripe zoot suit.

You guys bother putting on the dog or you pretty happy with your Grateful Dead tee shirts?

A cape with a red dickie. Bowler or top hat. Spats. That's it.

I can't pull off a bowler but I have a few nice fedoras in black, cream, tan, and green with a white feather.

I'd sport fedoras when I lived in DC. Did you know Screwy lives there? Never saw him in a fedora, though.

I've never been on public transit in DC so I doubt I've come across Screwy.

I have, many times. Although I did own a car or two. Not sure I ever saw Screwy on the rain but picked him up at the Metro station a time or 2.

Not in a gay way, I hope.

I occasionally go out in my birthday suit. I get some interesting comments.

Not sure that pointing & laughing is really all that interesting.

Verrrry funny. In some countries, you know, that’s considered a sign of respect.

A few people have offered to lend me their wheelbarrow.

During the legislative Session, I wear a suit 5 days a week. When we're not in Session, I still wear a suit but usually won't wear a tie with it.

It was intended as a religious joke.

Well, once-a-week is most typical for me.

However, there are times when I wear a suit for pretty much the whole week.
And other times I wear a suit for a few days of a given week.

Where would he put it when he isn't wearing it?

Fire away. I put on a suit far too often. But these are for fun.

Yes I am still fat, but I identify as skinny, I am trans slender.

How could any self-respecting man dress like this (obviously not the guy on the left)? But your seersucker suit rules, I have one with smaller stripes. I'm happy every summer when it fits.

When you have friends that are battling breast cancer for the 2nd time, you do what you do. Friday at the Derby is the Kentucky Oaks and it is a huge pink day for breast cancer

No reason you would or should know that. All good.

But cancer is the suck.

Looks great, Left Seater. I like the cut of your jib. You and I could hang out.

Props for posting pics of your face. I don't trust any of these mutants with my pics. Except bbqjones. I'll send jonesy an attachment, knowing he won't be able to open it, ha!

I didn’t look at the sun on Monday to avoid retinal damage. Then I get hit unexpectedly with this. Good thing I kept up on my Eye Med premiums.
