(Hence, my reverence toward Jilli.)
Such a sweet man.
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

Oh! Betsy, you do know that Holy Clothing has a web site so you don't have to go through eBay auctions, right? Let me see if I can find the link ...
Please for me too! Clothes that fit that won't bankrupt me!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
But I think of style as an expression of an inner life
Do you consider the inverse to be true, also?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I never cared much - but I like to look appropriate for the occassion - look what I got - Mr. always appropriate. Matt has some sloppy clothes - but the are for working out. I never have to worry about what he will look like. and he never has to worry about me. He does - but that's becasue he will err on the conservative side.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think womens' grooming has shifted in its level of social "obligation." Which is a really really good thing and now its more a matter of personal expression -- but until about a week ago and, it seems like, from the dawn of time before that it was a major valuation of her "worth".
And I think when people do keep up that value judgment they're more likely to be women than men.
To me "inner life" seems like it may be pushing it. I guess it can be that -- but a lot of people just consider it time they'd rather be doing ______.

Of course. People that lack style have no inner life. t /Lying For Rhetorical Effect
No. But I am personally more attracted to people who can give their imagination a witty/playful physical expression. Again falling under the heading, Why Jilli Is Like A Superhero To Me.

If I only had a brain...
Thank you, Jilli.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
A certain level of grooming for both men and women--clean body and clothes, combed hair, seems to be a minimum for daily discourse with anyone. I think men or women would steer clear of someone with matted hair or unwashed clothes. In style or out doesn't matter as much as grooming--going out without makes one look craxy or like one doesn't care about anything. Extras like stylish clothes, make-up, cool eyeglasses and whatnot are all personal expression.

Of course. People that lack style have no inner life.
Their inner lives are just very very calm.
No, I knew it was a simplistic question when I asked it, and I really didn't mean it to be, but -- well, some people dress weird just to get attention, and some people who are unkempt have rich inner lives.
