Did you see she's now a godparent to Glenn Greenwald's kids?

Coincidentally I was travelling home last night and looking at all these really well dressed (in my eyes) people thinking jesus i've let my standards slip.

Not bought a pair of trainers since about 2020.

 

[sus]

Onitsuka Tigers would've been a good move in 2020 but now everybody knows. Also they're too "international" for my brand. I need good American shoes

 

[sus]

This is what I wear. Good American made boot

ive had a pair of red wings but they fell apart fairly quickly. boots are fine but they can look way too camp.

 

[luka]

the higher and more rugged they are the more camp they look as a general rule.

The skinhead ones are pretty high and look like wrestling boots or something from the Beano.

 

[luka]

something from the Beano is a brilliant description

I think these were the ugliest shoes I ever owned.

I had a purple pair of these when I was like 12 too.

i had some andre agassi techni colour puke style nikes when i was a child. those black and yellow ones arent too bad i think dizzee had a pair. the other ones are way worse.

where are you in europe @sus ? what do you think of it?

where are you in europe @sus ? what do you think of it?

I'm in the Azores lol. It was beautiful and remote we were on an island with like 200 residents and 1 restaurant open from noon to eight.

 

[sus]

I learned a lot about wizardry. Spells and enchantment and such. These are important things and sometimes you can only get them by a pilgrimage to powerful island sorcerers. There was one guy who ran a restaurant called Maresia. He was definitely a Prospero type. Shirtless behind the bar, wrinkled brown skin, German tourists begging him for a reservation.

“An ugly thing, that is what you are when you become a tourist, an ugly, empty thing, a stupid thing, a piece of rubbish pausing here and there to gaze at this and taste that, and it will never occur to you that the people who inhabit the place in which you have just paused cannot stand you,”

was just reading this https://www.vox.com/culture/23798890/american-tourists-travel-trends-vacation-optimization and was wondering, is that a new thing that the whole of usa goes to europe in the summer or is that something recent?
