What are you wearing today?

[trentk]

I never thought that was your intent. Judging by your posts, you don't seem like the type of person who would purposefully plaster an obnoxious moral imperative on your feet.

"So should you" is, admittedly, a stretch. However, with "VEGATARIAN SHOES" in big bold caps, the company clearly wants not just the wearer, but anyone seeing the boots, to know that its vegetarian "leather". I'm not just interpreting the name of a shoe company, I'm interpreting the manner in which its presented. If "vegetarian leather" was, say, discreetly embossed on the heel, I wouldn't call it an obnoxious slogan.

it's no sillier than the markings on any other clothing, whether MMM stitching, dior darts, or tommy hilfiger logos.

any logo is too silly for me

rilu - I come from santa cruz, land of militant environmentalists, animal rightists etc... There, if you even walk down the street wearing a leather jacket, people will sometimes accost you for animal cruelty. Seeing as I'm so often exposed to the radicals, I suppose I expect the worst.

edit: a few years ago, eco terrorists disguised as rabbits dumped buckets of rabbit blood on one UCSC biologist's house.... during his 4 year old daughter's birthday party.

Sorry, but the opposition doesn't make sense, at least to me, since fantasies are, litteraly, embodied.

Becomin intense wants to find what came before language through rubbing against fabric, or something of that nature.

HAHAHAHA that pic made me crack up. Gold.

Anyway killah I don't know if you were being serious about wanting to get jeans that don't blow out. Because if you really do want to get a pair, look for something that's not 100% cotton and has some elastane/stretch material in it.

And although the conversation is over already trentk, I think your distaste towards 'logos/symbols' is misguided. There arguably nothing that exists that is without some sort of symbol attached (certainly in the consumer products world anyway). It's all about perspective; 'logos' are more than just what you see on labels.

kuugaia you've become very dogmatic recently... that said, trentk is as well.

[kuugaia]

Haven, I will preempt BSR and say that you need to shorten the sleeves on that coat.
