Willie, you'll thought a freak if you wear that to prom. However, once you get into college pair the tunic up with ragged jeans, worn boots, and leave the bib unbottoned and folded carelessly over and you'll be a hit with the Goth/Punk crowd.

"And if I were you,I button up that jacket!"
Don't understand why Bruno kept leaving his tunic unbuttoned?
And I don't care what my peers think of me wearing the tunic.I would feel perfectly confortable with wearing it!At least I wouldn't look like those idiots who where their jeans down to their thighs!

I often look at the ug boots that the girls at school wear.Its just those boots are so darn close to the ones that were worn by Tommy pilots  Maybe I'll buy a pair with fur lining and wear it during flights  I'll try to modify a pair of womens black leather boots to look more like a WWI officers boots.

It's all a bit 'The Night Porter' to dress up as a German officer to attract the fairer sex isn't it? Not the same war of course, but don't be surprised if girls get that impression rather than the one you are after.
But... the truth is, women are not really from Venus any more than men are from Mars, and you'll find that one of the really attractive qualities, is to be yourself. Nothing is more effective than that when it comes to disarming your competition.

 This is great! Yes, Al is OK. I can see him as "dishy." Wonderful that your sis has a thing for the Rittmeister! I welcome her to the club.

This has gone from ridiculous to weird to creepy.
And fast, too.
My girlfriend thinks Marcel Hanriot is "nice-looking. He's got pretty eyes."
I pointed out that he was far too young for her.
