fashion cares about sexual repression
Make no mistake. I hate vice. I Think they're over indulgent coke snorting self-aggrandizers who purport that not giving a shit is superior, when really they're begging for attention. It's why I read them. They're their own best joke. That, and the fact that sometimes bare crass humor disguised as laisser-faire intellectualism is the best kind.
Oh, and sometimes they do it better than I do it.
I was going to write this.
Korean couples wear matching t-shirts. Now you know.
The reasoning behind this is that PDAs are still a little taboo in this country and it's led couples to interesting territory-marking solutions (still, as if I could've convinced any of my ex-boyfriends to coordinate wardrobes - half of them couldn't even dress themselves let alone think dually).
Points to the couple I saw in Seoul who matched up bold logo'd World Wildlife Fund t-shirts. Now that's a cause worth taming your wild-ons for.

Couples co-ordinating wardrobes is a pretty useful idea. When somebody's taken, it lets others know not to be interested. It's like showing you've already been indoctrinated into a society. And I'm not interested in people who identify with social groups anyway. The Koreans are ahead of the game on this one.
it's funny how it actually creates sort of a single moving entity out of two separate people. It's probably the most effective 'we're together' signal a couple could send - I don't think holding hands can hold a card to the matching t-shirts trend. It's alluring and intimidating in a respect-demanding way at the same time. It's an attractive, smiling two-headed monster.
