Kid Rock was arrested last night for getting in a fight at a Waffle House just down the street from me. I live in a pretty gay part of Atlanta, so that must mean that Kid Rock is gay. But that’s his choice :0)
In other Atlanta news, I enjoy buying clothes for girls. But, being a single man, I often find myself purchasing clothes for my friends’ wives and/or girlfriends.
For example, Leslie wanted “nice, going-out” clothes for her recent birthday. So I spent a few afternoon hours at the mall and picked out what I think Leslie would like, but not necessarily items similar to what she already wears. I would consider Leslie’s style elegant-conservative.
I went with a silky, sleeveless, chartreuse blouse that has a sequined strap across the front. The color is more yellow that green and according to the hipster Express girl is the hot color of the season. It’s probably a little more daring and trendy than Leslie normally wears, but, again, I was trying to get her something just barely different than she already has. I also picked her up silky, black, sleeveless top with black flowers at the very top. I thought it was classy and could be worn to cocktail party, coupled with a skirt and sweater.
It did, however, look a lot more like lingerie when I gave it to her in front of a bunch of people than it did in the store. So I was a little uncomfortable.
My questions are:
A) Is it appropriate for me to buying clothes for my friends’ wives/girlfriends?
B) Why do you think I like shopping for girls clothes so much?
C) How many of you, boys or girls, would trust me to buy an outfit that you had to wear to a big occasion?
Thank you for your time.
P.S. Kent … If you feel like posting pictures of the items I gave Leslie maybe that would help people with their answers.
three words: argyle sweater vest
Dave,
I think it is great that you buy clothes for girls. It means that you will be a good boyfriend/husband or good gay friend for some fruit fly.
Anyways, I would love it if more people in general bought me clothes so please feel free to purchase your ass off. Right now I am trying to wear dresses everyday (for the next year). It is cold in Nebraska and I am in need of more cold weather dresses. I could also use some boots and tights for my dresses. Feel free : )
Chunk … Isn’t your b-day coming up? I’ll totally buy you a dress if you tell me what size.
Butt … An argyle sweater vest can be worn with a t-shirt or white dress shirt and can be coupled with a fashionable hat to give girls an fun-loving look. Too bad, you’re not fun-loving.
The big question is…..did Leslie like what you bought and will she wear it? If not, then just go shopping WITH her the next time and give her advice. It is all in figuring out what a woman wants and giving it to her. Sounds easy, but it is VERY hard.
Put up the pictures!
This is Leslie’s chance to me a model for the first ever line of Purdum.
Dave has promised pictures that do not exist.
Here’s my answers to Dave’s questions:
A. Yes
B. You like stylish things.
C. I would not trust you, as you prefer style over comfort. It’s not wrong, just different than me.
Kent … Can’t you take pictures of her new duds? Or did she already return them?
Marnie … She said she like them, but I’m not sure I believe her yet.
Yes I could, shouldn’t you be asking Leslie if she wants pictures of herself taken instead of me?
While pictures of Leslie wearing the clothes would be the ideal situation, I think just a pictures of the two garments would work.
You don’t have to if you don’t want to.
Dave, pictures of Leslie wearing the outfits are one thing, but actually wearing them out in public……that’s another thing all together.
Most definitely, Leslie should be wearing the clothes because, Dave pay attention, something that looks good on a hanger doesn’t always look good on the lady. It will be the only way to judge.
Kent, she is your wife. You tell her to put on those clothes so you can take the pictures.
Leslie, you keep saying you don’t like the clothes so Dave will buy you more.
Marnie, you are so right on all accounts.
Dave, I might not love fun but I do love me some knee-high black boots with a slight heel, size 8.5.
pictures attached. leslie is not wearing them, because, and I quote, “It’s 11 at night and I’m trying to watch the end of this show.” She’s watching Dirty Jobs. She loves that show. It’s better than it used to be. The host is so handsome and charismatic.
if by “handsome and charismatic” you mean “has a good body but is a total f2cking retard”, then yes.
doesn’t mean we don’t watch it, I just have to shout at the tv every 10 minutes when he does something idiotic. that probably says something about me as well.
Those pictures look ebay-ready. Is that a hint of Leslie’s affection fro them?
Gee .. the black one really looks like lingerie now. I swear I asked the clerk.
Anyway … what do you guys think? Will Leslie ever wear either item? Will she be strong enough to take them back and pick out things she liked? Or will she be too concerned about hurting me feelings?
Don’t be concerned, L … it’s the only way I’ll get better at my new hobby.
Leslie, I hope Dave gave you the receipts!!!!
Dave, I’m a big fan of people putting thought into presents so I say good looking out to you. I’m not sure if that phase actually applies. I heard it in a movie and don’t pretend to know what it means, but I really like it. Regardless, your clothes choosing practice is healthy, natural and laudable. When you are looking for me, please remember my eyes are the color of the sea after an autumn storm.
I would wear the black one (with some boots). The other one is the color of something you find in a baby’s diaper after he/she has had peas and carrots in mash potatoes (mmmm). I give you a B-.
Dave also gave her a costume witch hat and wig. When he showed me the black shirt before he gave it too her, I said “Oh yeah, she’ll like that, she doesn’t have a Halloween costume.”
