I'm going to a wedding in England(Manchester) this summer and I need some direction.

Depends on the dresscode. I live in Manchester, where is the wedding/reception happening? If it's somewhere like The Midland, or The Hilton then expect to wear a full suit, but if the bride and groom have opted for a more casual wedding then you may be able to get away with blazer and trousers, instead of a full suit.

And if it is full suit and tie business, there's nothing to say you can't spruce it up a bit and wear something more modern and slim-fitting then a conservative suit, but then again, it depends on the wedding.

This was a testimonial match which are typically shorter than normal matches. This one only went on for 70 minutes.

Just because you're black doesn't mean you get to say what is and isn't racist to other black people. It's not only racist if you do the lips, the blackface in general (exaggerated red lips or no) is still known to be horribly racist.

duggtodeath · 2012-05-24T01:36:24.475085+00:00

Lolwut. The Black and White Minstrel show was on in the late 70's/early 80's still dude.

He did say it, but he said it about Christianity and Christians who were offended. It's then commonly taken out of context and used to justify racism and sexism etc. Stephen Fry has also been vocal about being AGAINST the use of homophobic slurs, which obviously goes against many redditors perceived meanings of his quote.

duggtodeath · 2012-05-24T01:30:52.203925+00:00

Its almost as if putting on blackface has a horrible history of mockery and racism or something. Crazy amirite?

Maybe this doesn't count but I think Throne of Blood by Kurosawa does a good job at being a film INSPIRED by Macbeth, but not an actual adaptation. Same for Polanski's Macbeth which I think does a better job with the source material but ultimately fails at fully dealing with the issues in the original text.

I wrote an essay about these two films in the context of adaptations of Macbeth if anyone is interested on me expanding my thoughts. On my phone right now but if anyone fancies discussing them or just wants to hear my thoughts I think it'd be cool (though not worth it's own thread)

Wasnt there also something about him making the book 21 chapters (age of maturity) and the publishers removal of the final chapter ruining that? Maybe I'm making that up but I'm sure I read it somewhere.

Thoughts on the cropped chino pants? Looking to get a pair but not sure on the quality. How obnoxious does the side zip pocket look too?

The blazer/denim thing was literally just to see if the actual blazer could work casually, i didn't actually wear it out or anything. It's a suit jacket originally so it was just something i wanted to try to see if it could be pulled off as a single blazer (thought i might have to change the buttons for it to work or something maybe?)

Not too sure about the shoes myself. Got em for £130 down from £245 though so I don't know whether i want to return them. Do you think the colour is versatile enough?

The suit I'm wearing is definitely the same colour (i'm not sure what happened to the lighting but it's definitely a two-piece matching suit of the same colour) but a lot of people had the same thought you did when i originally posted it. Here's a pic of the pants/jacket together in a different room, which has worse, but kinda better lighting.

I made a post in it about books. Hopefully this subreddit will get some interest. I have a lot of clothes etc (some higher-end stuff like Jeffrey West boots, Cheaney brogues, some Sam Windsor suede brogues, some Bally suede brogues, some U/O Shore Leave light tan chuckas [w/ red brick contrast sole]) to sell too so hopefully the subreddit will take off.

Does this jacket work as a blazer(casual)? (Ignore the untucked shirt)

Post .

The shirt sleeves are too short, the jacket itself isn't too long or anything.

Here is my wearing that blazer as part of a suit

Thoughts on these shoes?

[UK] Thoughts on these shoes? They're Cheaney, got em for £130, were £245 originally. Will they work casually (main use for me) the colour is 'light tan'. Sorry for the two albums!

Monday was my last essay for Uni so after working on that for 14 hours i went to a friends house for a drink or two and a nice nights sleep. This morning we headed for town and he went off shopping with his gf. I got breakfast at the Abergeldie cafe, then went to see see The Avengers (thought it was a crock of shit) with a different friend. After that we went to The Garrot (opposite 5th Ave) for a few drinks in the sunshine, though this was about 4:45 so we only caught the end of it.

Pretty nice day, though i have an exam on the 30th which I'm not looking forward to, but until then I'm having a few days of rest.

and by attempting to stifle conversation on war

I have not done any such thing.

I have no power in this forum to stifle any conversation. If you don't like me telling you how futile discussing war will be on the hivemind that is reddit (protip: people arguing against the war will be upvoted) then just click and move on. Your percieved right to a discussion doesn't come in place of my right to tell you your discussion is pointless.

kickme444 · 2 days

I don't know if you're actually talking about me there, but I'm from the UK, and have never actually seen a Jon Stewart show. Nevertheless, i think that discussing it on reddit isn't going to do anything. The admins aren't going to stop doing this because the userbase is unhappy about it, so what's the point of even pretending that the contrived and obvious discussion about how warisbadmmmkay, is anything but played out?

I can't wait for this thread to be filled with polite discussion about the militairy and the wars they're currently engaged in!

Please draw Jean Genet having a cup of tea with Samuel Beckett. Currently locked in the library writing an essay about these two so it'd be pretty cool.

Probably too late for this but does this blazer work in a casual way?

Post .

Also, how are the shoes? I have another picture of them up close at home but I'm in the library right now so i can't post it...sorry.

Also, shirt sleeves are too short, jacket isn't too long!

I am in a mixed camp about joke posts and self-posts. On the one hand i think that posts like this and this don't really have any place here because:

A) They're not asking for advice.

B) They were posted not to actually ask for advice, but just to 'show off'. (seemingly)

I'm not saying that posts of well-dressed people caught by fantastic photography shouldn't be allowed, just that the abundance of these posts seems to detract from the whole advice part of this subreddit.

Of course there's a distinction to be made between posts which are obviously 'here's me looking amazing', and posts which are 'here's me looking good is it okay?' (an example of the latter is here) and i don't think I'm the one who is most able to make that distinction right now. If anything it should be a distinction made by the community (if they want to make one).

Those are just my thoughts anyway. I understand that the two images i linked at first can be beneficial to those who are looking to improve their own aesthetic, but i feel that they don't actually seek any advice, and nor do they offer any.

(I chose those three posts because they're currently two of the most upvoted posts of all time here at mfa)
