like Milk And Cheese

(comic characters, Dairy products gone Bad)

My fleece is warm and essential for dog walking but obviously not for trotting down bond street in. it is navy and has one hole in it.

My pet hate is tights with reinforced toes with open toed shoes....or women with really revolting feet in flip flops, the crusty peely skin kind of foot. sometimes with bunions and v old nail varnish on toes..

I am a foot unfestishist if that is posssible.

NotQuiteCockney · 30/08/2005 15:48

at Enid. How on earth has anyone here heard of Milk and Cheese?

(We don't have a lot of Evan Dorkin at home, but we do love Kyle Baker.)

My pet hate is leggings. I know you don't see them much now but those skinny jeans look an awful lot like them.

tarantula · 30/08/2005 16:20

Well ya boo and blah. I love my fleece and loved my legging. Both are the dogs bllcks for cycling in so [sticks tongue out] Cant wait for them to come back into the shops.

Legs it off to start a thread for people with bad taste like me

whats wrong with a woolly jumper or big knitted cardigan? the fleece killed them off

Oooh, I love my fleece It's the least stylish garment I own (I hope) but it is soooo comfy. Doesn't have an elasticated hem though - I agree they are vile and make you look like a weeble.

NP, I prefer fleeces to woolly jumpers or cardies because:

  • fleeces don't smell horrid when wet
  • I can't wear wool unless it's merino, as it itches me.
  • fleeces wash easily
  • fleeces have pockets.

I do think they're nicer without elasticated cuffs and hem, although I don't remember if my current one has those. They horrible with anything dressy, but I don't wear dressy things generally, so that's ok.

Dresses and skirts over trousers ala Jar Jar Binks. Also, trousers with splits in them - must feel like wearing shredded trousers.

Long toenails with a French pedicure. Bleugh. Especially worn with high open-toed shoes, so long finger-toes have to curl over the side to keep grip, like fleshy spiders.

Also polo necks worn under shirts.

Juicy Couture-style tracksuits.

Strapless tops worn by women who Shouldn't.

Tanzie · 04/09/2005 22:30

Hipster jeans with large wodge of fat (white and gently marbled with stretchmarks) heaving over the top. Thong giving the "arse sandwich" effect optional.

Fat women in vest tops (cover your arms! have you no shame?!).

The "Four Tits Effect" from wearing a bra that is too small. Ditto "Back Tits".

A very short skirt on unlovely legs, whether thin like chicken's legs with the knees being the widest part or porky and dimpled.

A very low top on someone with no tits, showing not cleavage, but an expanse of skin and bones.

Long greying hair. If you think you're young enough for long straight and stringy hair, then for God's sake, dye it. But better still, cut it.

The compulsory beige garments in polyester for everyone over fifty - trousers with sewn in crease which don't crease, beige "windcheater" jacket, beige acrylic "knit top". And the hair dyed a winning shade of beige to match. If I'm into beige when I'm 50, shoot me someone please.

Those 9ct gold rings - loads of them on the hands. They look soooo cheap.

Uggggh! Tackola!

Ditto 3+, 9ct. gold hoop earrings.
