“The still, dewy night-the out door odors-the white smooth ro. After dinner, the group mounted their bicycles and rode to Ontario Beach Park, arriving just at sunset for a performance of “Pinafore” at the pavilion, where they also relished “the stars & gorgeous moon & colored lights & flowers & sweet air!” Afterward, May and her companions returned home on their “wheels.” “After the first long hill it was simply inexpressibly fine,” May gushed in the pages of her diary that night. Despite certain jeans like YMI, I still look like a guy wearing a nice pair of jeans, of course a little bit extra with some of their designs (especially on back pockets), but in the end, nobody really bats an eye.On August 30, 1895, May Bragdon and her friends enjoyed “a perfectly delightful day” in and around Rochester, New York. I’ve been so comfy in my jeans and skin so to say, I actually wear jeans like Hollister, American Eagle, YMI Wanna betta butt jeans, jeggings, and now I even purchased a boyfriend skinny jean with the most best fit I’ve ever worn in a pair of denim. Judging from your pictures, your jeans look very conservative compared to those fashion jeans girls wear. After many trials and errors, I finally figured my size in junior’s which is 0 or 1 (depending on the brand), plus they stretch! I used to wear men’s super skinny jeans from Hot Topic, I’m actually a waist 26-28, so I was thrilled when Hot Topic had that skin tight fit with a good price range (but they don’t stretch much and actually felt lack of movement down stairs), but on online forums, I discovered that women’s jeans might be the fit I’m looking for. Women’s jeans (even boot cut) has a much better closer fit to the body and holds it’s form all day. How many of you men opt to wear women’s skinny jeans? Super comfortable and snug all over, just what I was looking for, teamed up with a truly beautiful wash, Citizens Of Humanity have created the perfect pair of skinny jeans that we can all enjoy! For those interested in the outfit, I wore these jeans with my Bottega Veneta Driving Shoes, an ASOS T-Shirt and my Omega Aqua Terra Seamaster Watch. Overall, my first experience with women’s jeans for men has been a success. The Citizens of Humanity Rockets do not suffer from these shortcomings. Joggs are comfortable of course, but after a short amount of wears they begin to lose their shape, sagging in all the wrong places, giving a slightly unflattering look. This particular pair and wash only come in a cropped cut, however as I normally wear a 30 inseam they were just the right length for me to hit at the ankles.Ĭomparing these to Diesel Jogg Jeans (which I’m a huge fan of) renowned for their softness, I’d still say the Citizens beat them hands down. I imagine after a few more wears they will be the perfect size. I spent the day wearing them and breaking them in, within a couple of hours wear they had started to give a little and stretched a decent amount. In fact despite their snug fit, they actually felt refreshingly comfortable! I could move about freely, even so much as lifting my leg up without any trouble. I chose a size 27, my normal men’s size is a 30/31, so quite a dramatic difference, but to my surprise they pulled on fairly easily, tight yes, but they didn’t feel immediately constricting. Next was to see how they actually fitted! The pair I chose to feature on my men’s fashion blog for my first foray into this undiscovered area is the Citizens Of Humanity Rocket High Rise Crop Jeans in Aura, containing a combination of Cotton, Lyocell, Rayon and Spandex materials to get a super stretchy feel. When I first received them I was taken aback at how visually stunning the wash is, it’s been a long time since I’d seen a medium blue colour with such vibrancy and depth, definitely on par with the Diesel washes of the mid to late 00’s when they were in their prime. Needless to say I was suitably impressed with the colour, so a great start. I’ve read numerous accounts of men wearing women’s jeans to get the fit they wanted, even celebs such as Harry Styles and Mick Jagger have publicly admitted to their love of female denim. With these downsides with men’s skinny jeans I was recommended to actually try women’s skinny jeans. The feeling of pressure and the lack of movement are pretty big negative points for me. Trying to squeeze into these very slim jeans is a task in itself, especially with 100% cotton! It’s not just the initial problem of getting them on, but extended wear throughout the day can become quite troublesome to say the least. However, this is where a problem begins, namely comfort. Denim jeans are one of my favourite items of clothing. I’ve been wearing them for as long as I can remember, gradually over time my preference has slowly been edging towards a slimmer fit, this has been helped along by the trend of super skinny jeans over the last few years.

They are quite large and heavy for their size. We have seen on yellow and green 2-tone as well. And the solid coloured and clear are the rarest. The blue/olive green is quite a bit scarcer. Their typical marking is the etched “Chalet Canada.” The blue/bright green is the one most often found. To date, they have been found only in the variations shown here. The “ghost owl” is rare and highly collectible – a “unicorn” for many collectors. I love to think this was the inspiration for the Chalet “ghost owl.” This is my favourite myth: that owls are the only creatures that can live with ghosts. Italian superstition says that if an owl ends up in your house, someone in your family will die. One myth is that bad luck comes to those who hear an owl hoot three times. Owls have also long been characterized as harbingers of bad luck and even death. However, in the Middle Ages, this positive image was replaced with a sinister reputation – because it is active at night and almost blind by day, the owl became associated with stupidity and shady activities. In Greek/Roman mythology, the owl was a sacred figure, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom Athena /Minerva. The superstitions and symbols linked to owls date back to ancient Greece and have changed from positive to negative over the centuries. The last dated manuscript comes from about 130 BC, when Babylonia was aĭominion of the Parthian kingdom. Oldest sources for his version are from the ninth or eighth centuries Last version of the poem was the result of a deliberate work ofĮditorial, according to tradition carried out by a learned scholarĬalled Sin-leqi-unninni, who probably flourished about 1100 BC.

If these twenty-nineįragments were all that had survived we would not be able today to giveĪn accurate account of the poem's narrative and plot.

This makes many Muslims and non-Muslims alike raise their eyebrows, for the majority of Muslim people are amazing, peaceful people.Ī month ago, I visited one of my best friends in Wyoming. This extremist group known as “ISIS” has caused severe harm to people all over the world, including Americans. Unfortunately, an uproar of extremist values pulled from a radicalized sector of Islam has shed some negative light on the religion as a whole. Americans have the RIGHT to exercise their faith in Islam. Billions of people across the world, and millions in America alone have found conviction in Prophet Muhammad, and found love and peace in Islam. There are hundreds of recognized, and many more unknown religions, present and practiced in America, Islam being one of the many. The first amendment in the Constitution of the United States of America grants ALL Americans the right to practice any religion, and PROHIBITS any laws impeding exercising any religion. Several Americans will shake their heads or riot in response to the idea of abolishing guns, for the truth of the matter is the majority do not use their guns to kill. The guns are what are killing our people, and it seems like it would be almost natural, common sense for legislators to abolish them! Yet, once again it is our RIGHT to bear arms. Regardless of where we place the blame, guns were designed to kill. From Sandy Hook to the recent attack in Orlando, we have had mass shootings - lives taken, families disturbed, all at the hands of guns. But over the past 10 years, our country has experienced nothing short of devastation. This is part of our constitution, we (Americans) CAN buy guns, thus making it just to own guns, and in some places, use guns. The second amendment of the United States of America states that Americans have “the right to bear arms." On that same note, millions of Americans across the country buy guns, for several purposes such as protection, hunting and so on. This may be an interesting approach to commence a discussion, as controversial as the one regarding guns and terrorism, but it is all connected. Cause if anyone else does finds her and discovers some of the only things she's learned so far are a nickname for the MC, his penis, and a fixation on the smell of said penis. (It also seems pretty short sighted on the MC's part. But yeah with the feral girl, the notion of sexualy grooming her and hiding her away for personal use rather than getting help for her should probably be a player choice to be a creep, rather than the MC inherently being that irredeemable. I'd have him resist the temptation to steal Norma's panties, but have him cave at the prospect of getting Grace's. Personally for example, if given the choices to do so in game. Similarly with the panty scenes, ideally we'd also get a choice in whether he actually goes through with stealing them in the first place. The current route wouldn't feel as jarring if they weren't the only option/ you didn't feel like the MC was rail roaded into acting like a creep. As much as I'd like for Bill Gates to show up at my door and hand me a million dollars that's just not going to happen.Click to expand.Yeah more choices during the feral girl interaction would be nice. That is something that must be done for oneself. It is not on other people to make that happen for you. Getting more exercise, getting a little sun, being productive, spending less time on social media, finding new things to enjoy, taking small steps towards achievable goals, pushing past that depression voice in my head, listening to music I enjoy, spending a little time in nature, meditation, getting enough sleep and some other stuff is how I got better.Īnyone who wants to live a better life.

I love angry birds and I always have okay, for real for real.Īlso, when are you going to come out with the new angry birds game I took a servey about to see what I would like in a new game. Now, I know I have said a lot of things, but this will not stop me from playing this game. It is very clear Rovio is trying to take your money, but maybe I would spend it if you let me play the game well without spending money. Then along with everybody who plays the game, I don’t want to wait a half hour to play again if I lose my hearts. Black pearls are hard to get for hats unless your a good player, but to be a good player you have to buy hats with black pearls. Me and my dad would play it together when I was little. I suggest fix the broken systems, bring back some old modes, reduce prices on goodies, and make the game fun again which has been lacking lately. So many clans are struggling to keep their Flock. I understand it has to make $$ but many feel lately it has been a money grab. Jetpak, Rumble, Star challenge and many others should be on the table to rotate in as side modes. 4) taking away good events that should be on a rotational system. I believe we win 10% of our matches and we all play hard and multiple times a day to get better. I can rarely ever finish a set off and now that we can even use our black pearls to buy after event is done makes it even more disappointing 3) clan battle matchups are horrible. I would support if this was half the price. Pros 1) always trying to create new events 2) designing new hats 3) asking for player feedback 4) fixing broken game modes 5) working on catching cheaters Cons 1) prices are way to high to buy. A couple things I can take away from my nearly 8 years are below in no particular order. I love the game and have been playing since the creation of the AB2.

“You’ll never find photos of hip-hop stars wearing thrift clothing.” “That’s a major difference between hip-hop and rock’n’roll,” says Jenkins. Damon Dash, who set up Rocawear with Jay Z, talks in the film about how “if you go home and you got roaches and 10 people living in an apartment, the only way you can … feel some kind of status is what you have on your body.” This may link back to the origins of “fresh” – the hip-hop look is about being pristine, never grimy. Jenkins points out that in the early hip-hop scene, clothes were a way to transcend the poverty that surrounded most of those involved. And baggy jeans have connections with prison.” If you think of the hoody, that goes back to early graffiti artists who used the baggy shape to hide their probably stolen spraypaint, and the hood to hide from the police. “They were a reflection of urban life to some extent. “All of these clothes are connected to what it means to be young and black in America,” says Erik Nielson, co-author of The Hip Hop & Obama Reader. While style takeaways from Fresh Dressed are numerous (see the rediscovery of late-80s label Cross Colours), Jenkins’s film is really about the racial politics of hip-hop style. Run DMC in their signature hats and gold chains. Nas calls him “ Tom Ford before Tom Ford”. Highlights include the story of Tupac Shakur modelling for free as a gesture of support for black designer Karl Kani, and that of Dapper Dan, the cult designer who kitted out those on the 80s scene with tracksuits made from counterfeit Gucci- and Louis Vuitton-monogrammed fabric before these brands began to take legal action. Talking heads range from Kanye himself, Damon Dash, Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci and American Vogue’s André Leon Talley. Starting with Run DMC – the group’s fat laces, Cazal glasses, gold chains and Kangol hats – and running up to current fashion killas Kanye West and A$AP Rocky, it’s a crash course in an alliance of style, culture and music. This connection is the subject of a new documentary, Fresh Dressed, directed by Sacha Jenkins and out this week. Flashy … fashion sense that people ain’t never seen before.” The general gist emerges: to be fresh is to be stylish, and style has always been key to hip-hop. Across 14 pages, definitions include “Young. To get an idea of how entrenched the word “fresh” is to hip-hop, look to the Urban Dictionary.

While these criticisms may be true, they are only a minor point, and would only upset the most traditional and serious strategy players. This game seems to draw criticisms for it's varying difficulties and the unusual leveling system. All in all, you get sick of the same pictures presented in this story-book fashion (and I'm not talking "Paper Mario" style either). So this means that a lot of opportunity for enriching the story and characterisations was passed up. All of the character art is recycled throughout the entire story, and their facial expressions are fairly under-stated. All of the dialog scenes are presented in this way, and I have to say that it does become tiresome. These are overlaid with the nicely drawn characters. The game is decorated with beautifully painted backgrounds. Once I got in the habit of using these "Flash Drives", this wasn't really a problem. These are pretty creative and very useful, but, you have to make sure you're aware of when they're ready, as the game makes no alarm or mention that your moves are now ready. These are represent a sort of special move, only playable when the individual team-mate has gathered enough experience in the current battle. There are loads of different attacks, skills and what they call "Flash Drives". Of course, you can flip to D-pad control and manually select, but this really isn't in the spirit of the games design or the hardware. Often, I've had to rapid-fire tap the screen just so that the software might detect that I've hit the right area, even if it was a millimetre square. Picking out your man, never mind your target(s) can be like a pixel-hunt. It works well most of the time, but fails when the game-board is crowded. And you can make your move, attack, and spell-cast all with menu navigating and mini-map touching. Your team pretty much start at one end, your enemies at the other. The missions are a played-out on mini game-board areas, divided into squares and presented isometrically. You never have to hit a button - (or so the theory goes). Left- or right-handed exclusive stylus use is what Luminous Arc boasts. You're never sure how much fire-power they have up their sleeve, and it's either suicide or a total massacre. The bosses you encounter do pose a real threat, but their level of ability varies too much. They often sneak back in when it's safe to finish one of your guys off! It's cowardly but realistic. When their health is low, they move away from the action - but watch it. You don't see them making idiotic moves or harming their own kind like in other games. The enemies you see a pretty varied and act fairly convincingly too. Which, I must say, is surprisingly fun, addictive and satisfying. In fact, I just wanted more of the games turn-based action. I never really got off on all the supplemental dialog and back-story. Let's just say the most rewarding action is the first I listed. This includes shopping, reading at many of the land's libraries, or talking to your team-mates. This is as far as the games navigation goes -Luminous Arc is a 95% linear adventure.īetween missions, we can take an "Action". And, you move to your next mission which is indicated by a little "Next" with a tap. Every time I read it, images of that puppet from Melmac trying to toast the cat fill my mind). You exist on this map as a little sprite of the leading-man in the game: "Alph". It is prettily drawn and promises many different climate zones and variety. But no one could argue that there's not enough variety between your team. Some become more favourable, some become less so, and some become out-and-out annoying. And, after only a few "missions" (as they're called), you begin to differentiate and appreciate the distinction between your motley crew. Each, like any role-playing-game worth it's salt, come with their own strengths, weaknesses, abilities and attitudes. Luminous Arc lets player take control of a pre-selected group of characters - orphans actually. The voice recordings were first-rate quality, if not a little strange in their delivery. The first impression I got was that the game, although slightly unorthodox in it's presentation, remained a quality production. All the while, we are (depending on your point-of-view) treated to the voice-acted dialog with subtitles thrown in for good measure. We see a Pope-like figure and one of his cronies discussing their God, power and the struggle of the church. Within moments of starting your new game, players are thrown into a religious discussion. |
