"Best" is rather unfair to him, but I did wonder at first if it was him. Nice neat haircut there, Moon!

Oh come now Martin... why I bet you'd look just darling in a pretty little wedding dress!

Boy the love here....You can cut it with a battle-axe......

This may be a little off topic but hoborob gets my award for the best I guess they call it avatar do you have the rest of the photo LOL

Don't I wish. To bad the avatar is just a photo I found on the web somewhere many moons ago that I simply like. Especially the sheer bra.

BTW I am also known as the lens killer. Too many have shattered when pointed in my general direction.

The avatar is definitely not what I imagine when I think of hoborob, by the username... hobo - rob.


Not sure if he'd be the kid or the pumpkin head!





Okay gents... I gotta get ready for work.... (before I get my ass beat!)

Nix on the cigarette! These days, isn't a cigarette a negative element?

I got the same problem I have posted a lot of pictures. I think that they would all be improved I f I could just cut them off right above the neck

Thank you, Moon. Yes, I am I sure I would have looked adorable dressed like that 60 years ago !

Referring to the thread title :
What about "neutrally neutral"? I think that would sum me up quite nicely.

Martin #1 (to distinguish me from the Welsh laddie from Suffolk)

Tossing in my two cents worth:

Picture 1: This doesn't do anything for me. The buzzcut is no big deal, I often wear my hair short, but the cigarette was a nonstarter, and the denim jacket was just wrong with that gown. And I wouldn't be surprised if he was wearing combat boots or Doc Maartens under the dress.

Picture 2: While the dress looks nice from the front, all that skin showing on the side and in back I personally find alarming. I'll pass on that.

Picture 3: This is my clear cut favorite. I'd wear that dress in a New York minute, but with a sexy pair of black spike heels instead. Very nice indeed.

I think I'm too "round" to do a dress well. Or it's just the clearance dress I thought I'd try.

But I like these: Torrid skirt, long-sleeved polo shirt under a Lane Bryant jacket.

And a more open look with the same outfit as above: I've a black and a gray jacket for flexibility. Basically, I think this jacket and it's twin (both size 28) work better with both skirts and kilts than my usual jackets and blazers (in 48R). Having lost 10 pounds so far I hope to be replacing them with more svelte outfits in the near future.

None of the three float my boat, I'm afraid. Too feminine for me, and they all put appearance way above practicality. Mind you, one could say the same about high heels, but while I'm happy with a small element being all about aesthetics, a whopping big dress is too far for me.

Nor for me. I'm not against dresses but the skirt part was far too full and the second one with the split sides would have been far more suited to females.

BTW I can't get away with anything. It is a charity weekend at the store Friday to Monday and today I was persuaded to wear an elf outfit, which is basically a dress with ragged hem, with hat. Half green/half red and purple tights that I had put on under my trousers as it has been a very cold day with a biting wind. Normally MOH doesn't get anywhere near the store because of traffic yet today she decides to visit and sees me in it. It was very, very busy so I didn't see her. So what did I get greeted with when she gets home, "Why were you wearing a pixie outfit at work?" Since by wearing the outfit I raised well over £100 for charity ( didn't have chance to count it ) I think I did well and our customers were very generous. I'll have another stab at it on Monday only this time I will wear some more exotic tights that match the colour of the outfit. Once I got over the initial few minutes I ended up really enjoying myself. I will ask for the costume at the end of Monday and if I get it then I will try and get a photo.
