Default Image is so important .....
.
...... but what a pity that is all that the proles perceive. eg.

'Regular guy' doing serious work on his 4wd

http://s04.imagehost.org/0013/sscan0003.jpg




















Limp-wristed poofter posing with his 4wd

http://s02.imagehost.org/0353/Tonka1.JPG


What a pity that I don't fit in any of the 'pigeonholes' above. Actually, all I am is me.

There are times that I don't mind if people, to feel comfortable, put me in some sort of social category, but there are other times when I find people's lack of imagination or breadth-of-mind intensely frustrating.

How true, my thought is that the heel wearing balances out the masculinity of all the mechanical work I do, Or something probably.

Image can be so important ..... yet it can be deceptive and misinterpreted. Ponder that thought a moment.

Um, I wouldn't have said 'limp-wristed poofter' myself. You look masculine to me, even in the skirt and boots. I think it's the skinhead look...

Yeah, image is important. But it can be all too deceptive.

Obviously poofters can't repair cars because their wrists are too limp to pull the spanner round :lol:

I wouldn't worry about people's stereotypes, it's all bullshit and ignorance!

The more we continue to be who we are dressed as we are, the more others' worldviews will adjust to accommodate.

Consider Treat William's depiction of the free-spirited hippie in the movie, Hair. Such as sight, not only with his hair, but also his manner of dress, was a true shock to many in America back then.

These days no one would think twice if such a figure walked by.

Times will change - it just takes time, patience, and persistance.

Image is only important if it matters to you.

The skinhead look does create confusion at times. It's more due to the fact that I have b.....er-all hair which looks pretty untidy if I grow it. This is the neatest it has ever been in my life !!!

Default Haircuts
I have an ancestry with no problems of early hair-loss, instead the family tendence is thick and (not baby) curly hair, so I have found out that either it is (ultra magnum hyper) hair spray or my preferred choice of a "US marine" exremely short hair cut as I am too lazy to spend half the morning in order to look less untidy than Robinson Crusoe...
