Da Goddess

That's a good one, Joanie. It kind of reminds me of the young woman who was on my flight Friday night. She had a perfectly made body - I'm pretty sure no boobs are that big yet still naturally perky. She was tanned to perfection (I suspect all over) and had on a very short skort.
She also wore 5 inch stilletto heels.

Every man's eyes were on her. At one point, she turned to me and said, what is with these guys, they keep staring at me!

I just shrugged my shoulders and said I have no idea.

I should have taken her picture.

Hard to tell.

Cool is an attitude. It's a spiritual discipline. A person could dress like a dork and still be cool.

The first rule of Cool is:

Be who you are regardless of what you want to be.

OTOH, the studded belt is soooooo UN cool.

Anyone wearing Harley gear who is not in a motorcycle club and living the biker lifestyle is a wannabee at best and likely a not so in-the-closet case.

Was he wearing chaps?

Beth and Rankin hit it right on the head.Of course, you did too.

As a lifelong biker, I am often amused by this type of person. They run out to buy their first Harley because of its' status symbol(Harleys are cooool!) load up on all the latest Harley gear, they wait around for someone to notice them. (Harly has a sweet deal going there.) I frequently see their bikes for sale when they have had to lay it down the first time.

After I laid down my first bike (after 10 years of riding) I sold my Kawasaki and went for a GoldWing. Heck, it's almost a car, I know, but what the heck - I know I'd look stupid on a Harley!

Reminds me of showing up for school in a brandy new pair of gleaming white PF Flyers. Total "Dork Alert"

I bought a dog and named him Harley. Less of a death wish, fits in the back of the mini-van and didn't have to take on another payment.

Besides, I couldn't sleep at night knowing that the "real bikers" were looking down their noses at me...LOL.

I just wonder, did you see an Indian, a Naval Ensign, and a construction worker with him?

That guy smokes more meat than Hickory Farms.

Not cool.

"Cool" does *not* adjust the jacket. Cool doesn't give a shit.

I can't chase down the Terry Prachett quote, where a monk of Cool's exit question is

"What is cool?"

"What I am wearing, yo, is cool."

It was kinda yum to me. But then again "Queer as Folk" is my favorite show...
(shit, I was saving that coming out for a different venue:)

good lord!

that's about all I can muster...

Only another wannabe ya got there. I still have all my old riding gear sitting on the floor of my closet. I never hang it up, just waiting for my next ride, and that has been 20 years. People like this have no life no matter how they dress or what they do. He probably drives a big SUV also, maybe a hummer. Really sad, not to have a life.

Well, he was looking at the butterflies. Maybe there is hope...

Dressing in leather used to be about riding motorcycles. Pushing a cone of light down a darkened road, following where the wind went, understanding that the journey was the important thing, not the destination. Understanding that life has only one destination and it is pretty much the same for all of us.

Now, it is just a fu***** fashion show.

you can only be cool without trying, being cool is beiing original (being your self) but also not caring about anyone else. and doing somehting no one else has tried, you cant know if you are cool its just natural
