IN MY OPINION.........

1. Cigarettes are the Worst Accessory to Own. Changing a Divine Outfit instantly,
you lose Credibilty and Fashion Points FAST. On the Upside, at least you'll have a fair idea
how you'll DIE!!!

2. Dreadlocks are a poor excuse for Bad Hygiene. Not the least bit attractive, they smell like
shit and look like something stuck to a dogs arse. Unless your Bangin out the Reggae or
getting into Character for a film, Dreadlocks are simply Passe'.

3. Collars should be worn DOWN! Having an erect collar is one of the Most Useless Trends
EVER. What's the Point exactly? Sun Protection? Cold Neck? So many men are members of
'THE COLLAR COALITION', it's Attack of the Clones all over again!!!!

4. If your shoes are scratched, scuffed, grazed, soiled, cracked or just damaged, it's time they
were put out of their misery. You can tell alot about a Person by looking at their shoes,
and quite frankly, no-one wants to be called 'A Five Dollar Hooker'!!!!

5. Bitching about someone behind their back, is a risky thing. What Goes Around, Comes
Around, and in Brisbane, that'll take 2 Days, tops!!

6. Dudes with Hairdo's. Now I have no hair, so maybe I should'nt talk, but this Addiction
is getting out of hand. MEN, PUT YOUR BLOWDRYERS DOWN AND STEP AWAY
FROM THE TAFT!!! Men should be Men, not some 70's Housewife Wannabe....if I had
a dollar for every male Carol Brady impersonator I've seen in the Valley, I'd be
able to afford that 'VALEXTRA' Luggage I've had my eye on!!!

7. NO-ONE DRESSES UP ANYMORE. I know it's a Comfort and Climate thing, but as far
as I know it, Designers create around the Season's. There's a time and a place for 'Ksubi'
and 'Sass & Bide', and it's NOT when you should be wearing 'Frisoni Finetti' and 'Cacharel'.
NOTE TO SELF: The Theatre and the Cinema are two totally different Places!!!!

8. There are too many people delivering BAD SERVICE in this town. I understand that
Good Waitstaff and Retail Staff are as rare as Ossie Clarke Dresses, but a simple Smile
and a "Thank you very much" would'nt go astray. Anything, just to ease the pain of a bad
Espresso or an Empty Water Glass will suffice. We are, after all, paying your wage. But I
suppose while Gen Y are making a fortune, it must hurt just as much being the Oldest
Kid on the Block!! You know who you are!!

9. Elizabeth Street Between Edward and Albert Streets opposite the Hilton,
should be partly demolished and refurbished. Restoring the old facades and
creating new modern spaces would be an awesome Invitation for Gucci,
Bally, Ferragamo and the like to set up shop. To Dream the Impossible
Dream.

10. Chivalry is Dead. End of Story.

No-one dresses up in this town because there are no decent places to dress up for! Your list is hilarious.

I'm a straight man living in brisbane who does'nt have a 'hairdo' or wear my 'collar up', and although I am a gentleman, you are spot on with your list. Cool blog.

I have this awesome little badge that said 'put your collar down, loser'. It was pinned onto my backpack through my senior years at high school, and then through my years at uni. Sadly, now that I am working full time, it can't be pinned onto by purse (how wierd would a Jag bag look with a badge pinned onto it?), but I know exactly what The Maestro means. :D

Guys who wear their collars up are hiding something! Straight guys rarely initiate a trend, they usually follow. That's why you see them all wearing the SAME shoes, the SAME Jeans and usually have a better hair-do then their GF's!!

I am so thoroughly sick of those fashion fuckwits who think collars up/country road/ralph lauren is high couture. They should stick to the confines of ascot/hamilton/springwood and botox themselves to death.
