What exactly are sta-prest?

"We're hoping our sta-prests stay pressed."

-- Jilted John, "Baz's Party" (1978)

pink-beige patent riding boots, herringbone patterned tights, sky blue poplin pleated tennis skirt, white T-shirt, red snoopy zip hoody, bling-bling. And I'm about to pass out.

Today I'm wearing a black on black ensemble: Black shirt over black dress with black shoes. Hose. Black hair pull-back. Silver watch, silver bracelet, hose (I'm at work). C'est tous.

Old jeans that are too large, new shirt that says 'Call me: 555-1234', pink knit jacket, cat slippers.

I'm wearing a Whistles pin-striped suit with high heels and attitude.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 3 February 2003 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Brown jumper, brown trousers, which are too big, and not very warm, white trainers, black underwear and brown and gold lurex sparkly socks. And a green army jacket and brown eyeshadow. I'm rocking brown today. I draw the line at brown underwear though.

― alix (alix), Monday, 3 February 2003 16:21 (twenty-three years ago)

How could I forget the important stuff?
White bra. Navy undies (last pair, MUST do laundry tonight; actually, not true - have one pair left but it is see-through and silly - should throw it away).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 3 February 2003 16:30 (twenty-three years ago)

alix why are you dressed as me?

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 3 February 2003 16:47 (twenty-three years ago)

You are my sartorial hero, Gareth, that's why..Actually, when I bought these trousers Sarah said something along the lines of 'they're a bit Gareth, aren't they?'. I just felt like brown today. It's nice.

― alix (alix), Monday, 3 February 2003 17:01 (twenty-three years ago)

To work??

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:12 (twenty-three years ago)

for a friendly late-night New York neighborhood pick-up horseback tennis/skeet match, what?

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:13 (twenty-three years ago)

felicity you sound like you'd fit in here very well (provided all the clothes are about 20 years too old and too small.)

i am wearing underpants with rubiks cubes all over them and a shirt with a big hole in the underarm. look out.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:15 (twenty-three years ago)

a red turtleneck, black tights under red fishnets, a green sleeveless crimplene dress with a little hole under the collar and lots of green rhinestoney things around the neck, black maryjane shoes.

Same shirt and jacket, now with tan cord mini skirt, grey tights, and brown mary janes. Plus, lavender and green bra and Paul Frank pirate knickers.

All this for bingo RM? You will drive those pensioners crazzy!

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 01:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I am taking a total departure from yesterday's black color scheme and am wearing both black and dark grey today: Dark grey ribbed turtleneck (for her pleasure, ha ha), black/grey plaid long skirt, grey tights, black boots (it's raining like mad outside and very dark), black hair pull back, white bra, pale green undies (ha ha, don't match my look at all, I'm so embarassed...).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 13:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Looking forward to Brighton on Sunday in my black leather jacket and jeans with no underpants! Black corduory shirt and white socks (as usual).

― David Botham (David Botham), Saturday, 8 February 2003 01:02 (twenty-three years ago)

party at my boyfriend's placce soon. Not that I'm "dressed up".

mid-blue trousers, long pink socks (hidden under the trousers and my plain black boots), black & white striped arm sleeves (used to be my socks), my beloved heavy silver&gold watch, black v-necked t-shirt, various tiny specks of toxic blue paint from ill-fated morning ceiling painting attempt, glasses.

― spectra, Saturday, 8 February 2003 01:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Brighton on Sunday in my black leather jacket and jeans with no underpants! Black corduory shirt and white socks (as usual)

Good luck in the rumble with the mods, David! :)

― felicity (felicity), Saturday, 8 February 2003 01:48 (twenty-three years ago)

pink tshirt, green knickers.

― minna (minna), Saturday, 8 February 2003 01:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Felicity - I am a mod! Today I'm in my Levi's Sta-Prest trousers again, the cream coloured ones (I think they used to call these "pewter"). Must get some red socks to go with these (like I used to wear to college). The shirt is check (unfortunately not Ben Sherman), and the socks are... white! Just fancy being a leatherboy tomorrow for a change. Have a good w/end all.

― David Botham (David Botham), Saturday, 8 February 2003 11:18 (twenty-three years ago)

What sort of glasses, spectra? I am completely unable to recall you wearing any.

(uh, dragon-embroidered flares, "sportsgirl" tshirt, green legwarmers doing sock duty, some running shoes that my uncle ran a marathon in about a decade ago)

― Ess Kay (esskay), Saturday, 8 February 2003 11:34 (twenty-three years ago)

brown socks, black jeans, black jumper, red and grey checked shirt. I match the weather today.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 8 February 2003 13:12 (twenty-three years ago)

if I go out I'll wear my dark blue coat and my old school DM's, and probably take my blue cheap-o bag. I got no style.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 8 February 2003 13:19 (twenty-three years ago)

a cream-coloured sweater (which ALWAYS smells funny even RIGHT after I have it washed), a pair of dirrrrty jeans (disintegrating at a steady and FAST level), gold coloured pumas and some jewellery

― nathalie (nathalie), Saturday, 8 February 2003 13:45 (twenty-three years ago)

a black Escape from LA "Surf Wilshire" t-shirt.

where do I get one of these? oh wait, I don't wear t-shirts.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 8 February 2003 16:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Black Joy Division tshirt as above, and HUGE GREY HOUSE PANTS! They are so big they fall off me. Hooray! Soon to be stained with Chinese food.

― starry (Groke), Saturday, 8 February 2003 18:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd say I'm fashionably dressed in my "west coast small
town zero individuality" way. Long sleeve brown A&F shirt,
forwards red Nike hat (yeah, yeah, I know), and ripped
carpenter jeans. I don't really give a damn about how
I look, really, I just wear what women tell me to wear
(first my mother, then sisters, then girlfriends).

― Squirrel_Police (Squirrel_Police), Saturday, 8 February 2003 18:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Squirrel_Police - I just have to ask, where did your nickname come from? (One of my favorite stories is "Squirrel Cop" from This American Life and your name made me laugh to recall the saga.)

Oh, and I wearing tan sweat pants, beige bra, black panties, and a blue tank-top. And glasses. And a hair-holder-backer thingy-ma-bobber.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Saturday, 8 February 2003 20:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Someone called "I'm Passing Open Windows" is asking Squirrel_Police where his name is from? (i.e., how about you, Laura? I have half of a notion that it's a line I should recognise.)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 8 February 2003 20:42 (twenty-three years ago)

*laughing* Okay Martin, here it goes...

It's from John Irving's The Hotel New Hampshire and refers to a story told by one of the character's about ... The King of the Mice, maybe? Anyway, the idea is that in this story, the person throws themself out an open window and falls to their death. And, in the family in the book, the phrase "Keep passing open windows" basically means "hang-in there, things will get better, don't off yourself just yet, etc." So it's my way of proclaiming "Hey, I really am okay, life is good."

(And one of my oldest Net-met friends, from the ol' Prodigy days, went by "SorrowFloats," another reference to the same book. So this is also a tribute to him, 'cause he's gone off into the wilds of Alaska and I've not heard from him in months.)

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Saturday, 8 February 2003 20:51 (twenty-three years ago)

boxer shorts and more body hair than i'd like.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Saturday, 8 February 2003 21:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Um, I just gotta ask, Mitch - how much body hair is more than you'd like and do you remove it with a razor? Depilatory? Wax? Plucking? Or just mention it is passing so it excites all of those on here who have *things* for body hair? *grin*

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Saturday, 8 February 2003 21:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Re: Windows, there's not much of a story
I started on the Internet playing MUDS
(online text fantasy games) creating names for my characters,
so when I started posting to web and news it seemed natural
to adopt another persona. I posted occasionally under my
real name (Jack R*) but then started using various incongrous
animal names - Coon_Commando, Marmot_Marksman,
etc this one just seemed to stick.
OH yah, I also wear white jockeys, which suppposedly aren't
fashionable anymore, but *shrug*

― Squirrel_Police (Squirrel_Police), Saturday, 8 February 2003 21:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Man - white socks (14th Jan) what else do you wear? Do you iron your socks? I do!!!

― David Botham (David Botham), Sunday, 9 February 2003 09:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Red Vision Skateboard long sleeve top
Pink pyjama bottoms

― toraneko (toraneko), Sunday, 9 February 2003 12:30 (twenty-three years ago)

mizz laura: well, it's not like CRAZY MAD body hair, just more than i'd like, but i'm choosing not to remove it. yet. if any hairlovers choose to be excited, so be it! for the nauseated, forget i said anything.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Sunday, 9 February 2003 12:39 (twenty-three years ago)

same black jeans, same black jumper, blue socks, red shirt, blue fleecey thing, slippers! it feels cold today.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 9 February 2003 13:27 (twenty-three years ago)

*laughing* Thanks for the explanation, Squirrel_Police (and I think white jockeys are just fine and sexy and all, so long as they're clean). If you ever get a chance and have the inclination, check out "http://www.thislife.org" and then do a search on "Squirrel Cop" and listen to the story - it will have you rolling on the floor.

*grin* Thanks for the clarification regarding your "CRAZY MAD body hair," mitch. I vote that you enjoy it - I think body hair is completely fascinating.

Oh, and as for my clothing - glasses, arm bandage, red satiny/silky pj top and navy blue panties and my ever-so-sexy red-green-black striped woolen socks.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 9 February 2003 21:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I have been wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up all day. I think it makes me look hardcore or like an old lady. Maybe both.

― bnw (bnw), Sunday, 9 February 2003 22:20 (twenty-three years ago)

hooded zip-up with built-in mittenlets
black wool cardi with mittenstraps
iconic indigo jeans
socks, shoes, etc.

― felicity (felicity), Sunday, 9 February 2003 22:44 (twenty-three years ago)

mittenlets? are you making up words again?

― bnw (bnw), Sunday, 9 February 2003 22:57 (twenty-three years ago)

mittenlets sound cute though! Could be the name for yet another Kindercore band.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 9 February 2003 22:59 (twenty-three years ago)

all black, except blue T under my black sweater

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 9 February 2003 23:11 (twenty-three years ago)

mismatched socks, blue flared policeman pants, green and blue and white diamond-patterned short sleeved top with a tie around the middle, made from some marvellous synthetic fibre i'm sure.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 9 February 2003 23:44 (twenty-three years ago)
