Clothes horse

[j4]

I do not need a khaki silk hoodie jacket. I do not need scarlet silk skirts, gold-coloured Chinese-style silk shirts, or big purple velvet dresses from Monsoon. I do not need a tight-fitting DKNY t-shirt, no matter how gay it looks; and I do not need a big crochet jumper in all the colours of the rainbow. I would never have an occasion on which to wear a electric-blue linen embroidered suit, much less a bizarre black leather party frock with huge leather roses sewn to the front; and while I could probably find occasions on which to wear a skinny-fit Warehouse top with Damien-Hirst-style dots on it, I still don't need any more bloody skinny-fit tops.

I have, however, been looking for a pair of PVC lace-up-the-sides trousers in my size and shape for a very long time. So I bought 'em. :)

As to whether we ever need clothes, well, after we're warm enough, and our genitals aren't exposed to the populace, do we need anything more than an old hop sack? I think we do.

Yes, but only for the pockets. Environmental protection and pockets are the only reasons why I see clothes on me as a positive thing. Clothes on other people I can connect to differently, but only if I'm also aesthetically interested in the other person.

That, and burlap irritates my skin.

Exactly so.
