Hey, gidday mates! I’ve gotta make this quick, because I’m about to head uptown to shoot with my mate @kat_in_nyc, and I was late the last two times I met her, so if I’m late again she’ll probably slap me in the chops.
#2791 Skinhead Style
#2790 Eau de Desperation
Anon asks: So I finally got Tinder, and recently there’s been a string of guys I’ve gone on a handful of dates with who I’ve then developed feelings for, only for them to tell me after a bit that they’re not really feeling it for no particular reason. While that’s to be expected to a degree, repeated rejections suck pretty hard. Any tips on how to keep morale up when you’re in a situation where rejection is kinda unavoidable (assuming it’s lack of compatibility rather than BO or whatever)?
Hey, gidday mate. Yes. I don’t think that love and relationships are something that can be approached in the same way as getting a job. By that I mean, it sounds to me like you’re constantly applying for a new boyfriend. It’s like, oh I didn’t get a job at McDonald’s, let me try KFC. Oh, KFC didn’t work out, is Burger King hiring? How about Chick-fil-A? (Except exchange the fast food restaurants for boys’ names.)
#2789 Going Oversized
Hey, gidday mates! Full disclosure: I haven’t shot anything for the blog for like two and a half weeks, so I’m running low on imagery. What I do have, however, is an archive full of outfit posts, so today, and perhaps for the next couple of days, I’m kicking it vintage with some 2015 favorites. First up, let’s talk oversized coats and how to nail the look.
#2788 David Coggins, Documentaries, And More!
1. Let’s kick things off with How To Make A Murderer. Spoiler alert: Don’t be upset when you realize that both Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey were found guilty and are still in jail to this day. I googled it after the third episode because I remembered that disappointing feeling listening to Serial when we didn’t conclusively know anything more about Adnan’s guilt or innocence at the end than we did in the first episode. Turns out these documentaries — as intensely gripping as they might be — don’t all have happy endings like the courtroom drama films we’re used to. Go figure.
#2787 Friends With Benefits?
Anon asks: Hi Isaac, I was in a friends-with-benefits thing that ended because the guy didn’t want to commit. He recently contacted me and said he regrets the decision, was a dick and wants to make things official. I was considering it… But I found out that a week before he asked me he had slept with someone else. I can’t help but feel betrayed. Is it too overdramatic to turn him down considering we were both technically single?
In a word, no.
