CXXII
in my early teens one of the things that me and my older brother would do to pass time was to play role playing games. him as the game/dungeon master and me playing the campaigns he created.
thinking about male dominated fashion message boards today i was reminded of the character creation in the james bond role playing game. one of the statistics that you had to decide upon while making your M16 agent was appearance. there were big advantages in making your character plain, neither handsome or ugly. somebody is more likely to remember your face are not right in the middle of the looks bell curve.
why is it that men when talking about fashion with each almost invariably try to advise the same kind of plainness in dress, is there a reason they want everyone to be invisible? easily forgotten.
perhaps there is a secret agency that the members of the fashion message boards are all working for.
