Yeah right, when every second person has managed to get >beyond needing an imaginary friend you may have an argument ! Unfortunately I agree with you. It was pretty much a rhetorical question. I can't see it happening. Speaking of the people with imaginary friends I notice they tend to be one group of males who still tend to dress up in frippery. Zebee made reference to religion earlier and I started thinking about the Catholic robes and the Buddhist robes - with the Buddhist robes at least there seems to be no definition between men and women. Slightly different to the Cafflicks. Kev

From: CrazyCam on 25 Mar 2010 17:15 <big snip of all sorts of stuff about fashions in the past> Geez, you folk either don't get out much, or wander about with your eyes closed. Go up to Pie in the Sky, more or less any half decent day. Look at the push bike riders and the motorcycle riders. Pay attention when you do so. regards, CrazyCam

You're right! If I get the job I don't think I'll ever be able to look the Head in the eye without thinking of Jim Hacker and giggling. betty, also starting to see the similarities between Bernard/Sir Humphrey and the members of the Betty Faction. Wotta hoot!

What they aren't signalling is a dislike of shopping... One thing the cultures do give is the ability to wear things the dominant culture frowns on. Not all members of the subcultures do take that opportunity, you'll find motorcyclists in plain leathers, cyclists in plain lycra, and people at SF cons who don't dress up. But the cultures allow and approve dressing up and people take the opportunity. Gahan Wilson had a series of cartoons on the theme "When you are a grownup" and my favourite is "When you are a grownup you get to play dressup with real things" Zebee - proud owner of a welded mail shirt, fully articulated finger gauntlets with sliding rivets, a burgonet helm with bevor and moving visor, a longsword, two rapiers, and a schiavona arming sword.
