I think a personal style should be at least in some way, an expression of yourself. I'm not saying build a whole intertextual persona from the ground up (E.G. I'm a classy man who appreciates the finer things in life, so I'm only going to listen to jazz, wear classic suiting and drink the finest wines), but at least make the way in which you dress a manifestations of how you want the world to perceive you!  I think it should also be cohesive, or at least look like they're cohesive. An eclectic wardrobe (in terms of brand mix-up) can definitely work as long as it's backed by this kind of personal style - a poster like Fuuma might make something like Engineered Garments blend almost seamlessly with an outfit of Borelli or Brioni (sorry I don't know that much about classic menswear  ), because he's styled it in a way that's very much his own and it kind of loses the baggage of its original context. I've seen Seenmy do this in some fits, but in quite a few it seems quite haphazard - like a CCP vest slapped on top of a Soloist jacket almost needlessly, looks quite out of place in my opinion. You have to sort of consolidate their work with your own, rather than simply looking to consolidate their work/ideas with each other, or even more simply, just putting them on together. Also in terms of cohesiveness I think a more singular aesthetic makes sense in having a cohesive personal style more than having the fashion equivalent of dissociative identity disorder, where it's full Carol Christian Poell one day, full Soloist the next, and then full Visvim the day after.

 

it's like you're ignoring the fact that he's a stylist, a job where you're tasked to put various clothes together. i think you can draw the connection between that and wanting to own and wear different types of clothing. you think good chefs don't go out and try different types of cuisine or attempt to cook it?

 

it also sounds like you have some obsession with people wearing clothes that connect with their lifestyle. consider that some people just like the product. who's more authentic, the kid who spent countless hours researching for his first pair of visvims online and can recite hiroki interviews by heart, or the guy who walked into FIL and bought a pair cause he liked them? 

 

and tbh ccp vest over soloist jacket is a pretty weak argument. did u need him to wear the soloist vest instead?

i don't think this is true. eg look at the way olivier rizzo or panos yiapanis dress. a french chef probably isn't putting chinese on his menu either.

nebulae your sale thread is cool but the item descriptions sound like the guy from the price is right should be reading them

[Nebulae]

^mb I am being an overzealous salesperson but I enjoy knowing exactly what I'm getting when I buy something lol

That cringe-worthy?  Might tone it down in the future

[e0d9n0b5]

haha idc i just think its funny =]

[whitney]

it's funny how something that seems small can be significant; change how you see someone, I know I can never hear akon smack that without seeing that dance in my head, and smiling, drat.

[jayrock]

prob better off tonight trying to torrent new game of thrones instead of using hbo go

 

servers getting throttled like crazy

 

the funny part is it crashed on me trying to load a silicon valley preview. had just finished a GoT se04 preview, wah wah wah

[untrue]

Are torrents even up this early after the release? I remember for the last season I had to wait until the next day. 

[jayrock]

dunno, but hbo go seems to be working so leggo

 

edit: wah wah wah damn. such a tease

 

i bet there's awesome private sites that have it almost instantly, and prob a bunch of public links tonight too. it's high priority for almost everyone.

 

fucking joke the paid service doesn't even work nearly an hour after premiere. you'd think they would have learned from the true detective premiere if they're going to make any major push against the traditional cable/sat model. twitter is extremely butthurt, haa

 

aww shit we up. last edit, good luck all

Edited April 7, 2014 by jayrock

[evilgeniusdan]

torrents for popular shows lately have been going up literally five minutes after broadcast on the public trackers.  people are swift.

[philosophiliac]

yeah man even australia gets torrents for GoT like six or seven hours later maximum

sutocorp or fromjapan?

[Nebulae]

I still use sutocorp even after some frustrating instances of communication-error

heard fromjapan's better though.

[skeetinmynose]

fk sutocorp.

 

My last order they didn't mark the customs label correctly AND they forgot to include 3 items in the package. I always ask them to photograph my y!jp shit before it ships and they had sent me photos of the items, including the 3 missing jawnz. When I e-mailed them about it, they claimed they never got requests to bid on the items/didn't get payment (the photos, taken in their warehouse, of the missing items were included in their response, lol).

[_ironman]

every proxy screws up

 

they've quoted me higher for postage than when i receive it, only having it credited "to my account" so i'd have to make another order later. i still use them because i've been with them since the beginning so they allow me to bid on my own stuff

 

you guys should try this one (i have not, but have seen it thrown around):

 

http://macatunesjapanproxy.blogspot.fr/

 

charges 6% fee BEFORE everything

 

unlike the rest of the proxies who calculate the comission after bank fees and shipping, like chinese restaurants who auto charge tip after tax

[alexthephallus]

Agree w sutocorp comments

Man I was sitting at my gate not 5 mins ago when this kag walks up to me, looks right at me for a good 10 secs n then proceeded to sit next 2 some sweaty ol bald dude sitting a row down..

u probs looked to #kimoi 

[tac0tron]

I either use Tokyo Buyers or Rinkya. 

 

For items that could possibly slip away fast, I use Rinkya for their live bidding services. Kind of expensive tho.

it says on the website that he charges 6% on total price, not item price.

have u experienced otherwise tho?

[_ironman]

in the explanation, it says:

 

The total price is calculated as below :
item unit price
+commission
+bank fees (0-420yens)
+Japan shipment fees (sometimes free)
+EMS shipment fees to your address (with tracking number)

 

however it would be better to ask evilgeniusdan as he has used him before. i have not which was stated in the post you quoted

 

either way, 2% cheaper is good

was helping girlfriend fix her uncle's computer as it had trojans

 

turns out this happens often as he is an old perv so he's always looking at porn incorrectly getting his computer infected

 

during cleaning, discovered his stash. did not know that chinese porn even existed

 

was like super weak jap porn

[whitney]

Did you teach him correctly?

Or intro him to better porn

I suppose that would be super awkward

korean porn is almost nonexistent from what i understand (not talking about korean-american pornstars)

 

my old roommate back in college was a korean foreign exchange student who sent me some of his kporn stash back in the day...  very rare
