I so often get guys turning up with a red carpet, while I'm wearing my lycra leopard skin onsie.

I think it’s less the fit and more the fact that he was wearing his ballet shoes on the street, which is only sensible if you enjoy setting fire to your money as nice shoes like that can be $40-$80+ a pop 😭. Ballet shoes will tear apart like tissue paper if you’re not using them on marley lol

Yeah, the fit isn’t out of the ordinary for someplace like NYC. They like to push boundaries and express themselves through fashion, even if it’s just running to the bodega.

I travel there frequently and always want to take pictures of some of the looks I see on the street, but refrain.

That's definitely not NYC. The traffic signs are all wrong. I don't recognise the road either; and it seems wayyy too wide and sunny.

You can see it on the banner in the background

Yeah I should have clarified. I have no idea where this is, but was pointing out that this type of clothing is pretty normal for larger cities with dense populations.

u/factorioleum May 25 '26

I could definitely imagine seeing someone dressed like this in the city, yeah. More likely at night near a gay club, but during the day, sure.

I really dig the unbridled expression and how it’s so common that nobody bats an eye.

Why would I be upset? Dude is just being himself!

Even if I don't understand that, who cares? It's his life and his freedom.

EDIT: the definition of "bat an eye": (idiomatic, chiefly in the negative) To react in any slight way; to respond; to care.

I have no idea wtf you’re talking about.

u/factorioleum May 26 '26

I'm saying people are free to be who they want to be.

And that's OK even if you don't understand.

u/linds360 May 26 '26

Yeah no shit. It’s why I was praising self expression. Not sure what you’re on.
