Men In Black

[Lory]

with the obvious exception of the MIB, and WIB, who are making a definite dance related statement.

WHAT?

When I'm all in black, believe me, it's got absololutly nothing to do with making a statment about my dancing abilities!

It's cos I've tried everything else on in my wardrobe felt like a hidious fat blob and decided black is the onlhy thing that makes me look slightly less hidious!

So for me, on THOSE day's, it's either BLACK or a night in!

I think we now know the answerer -it’s man in leather Kilt or the lady in the leather mini Kilt

Don't believe that sad tale for a moment Lory (If things were that bad there wouldn't be anything else but black in that wardrobe, would there?).

Nevertheless, I accept that I shouldn't have included women in that general statement about black and apologise for the offence caused to one and all of the fair sex. The 'little black dress', after all, has always been a part of many women's armoury.

I suppose, at the time, I felt my remarks should be inclusive and as an afterthought added the dreaded WIB accronym to my post. An underthought afterthought !!

Humble apologies all round.

Gee thanks babe I'll shoot myself NOW, shall I?

Tis OK, I'm teasing, I'm sure it wasn't written in the way I read it

Well having dressed in a rush last night, I went out as 'Brown Man', not a look I like. But didn't seem to kill my chances of dancing. That may have had something to do with some footy match in Glasgow keeping the men away? Took first chance to change to non matching shirt too.

We are talking generalisations here, and I accept your right to like and wear black, but a high proportion of the hotshots who drift in towards the end of the Intermediate class ready for the final freestyle are togged up in black.

Hmm, I would never describe myself as a hotshot - but after reading this thread I am feeling decidedly nervous about wearing an all black ensemble ever again, especially with b/w shoes. Perhaps the beige approach has its advantages after all, even with combat trousers (chinos?)....

Please don't stop wearing black! Please no one stop wearing black! The world needs more men in black....

..... I am feeling decidedly nervous about wearing an all black ensemble ever again .....

Forget all our moralising; just be yourself and enjoy.

On reflection, perhaps it's the 'drifting in' for the final hour or so of Freestyle rather than the black clobber that really defines a hotshot. But then, where would we be without our true hotshots to entertain, provide inspiration, and show what's possible for those with real aptitude.

Remember

4 out 19 women (who expressed an option) would choose a MIB

Only 1 choose beige

But to be sure of a hit, wear kilt and a smile

I never pay attention to what a guy is wearing - too busy watching his dancing and how I am going to get across the dance floor before other ladies !!

as for what I wear dancing - I wear what makes me feel good on the night - easy

( as long as anything I wear does not cause an injury to other dancers or myself - It's ok)

Dare to be different - my motto

That whole MIB thing causes serious injury to my originality sensor

Dare to be different - my motto

Go for colour, glitter and exposed flesh ...

.. and fab shoes

[Tiggerbabe]

Aha, you've met Sassy 1 then Andy?

I often wear black ...... simply because I have a lot of it in my wardrobe and I happen to think it suits me. Although I was all in black on Wednesday I know the lighting is good and so when demo-ing I know I'll still be seen whereas on aThursday the lighting can be quite low so I often wear brighter colour ( last night a red shirt) so that I won't blend into the background completely !!!

Don't often wear my red or beige trousers because I think they might be a little OTT for a normal class night but might dress up a little for the aprty nights

[Lynn]

Hmm - WIB - just had a glance at my suitcase for Southport and there is a lot of black in there! I do wear black a fair bit anyway, but even more so when dancing. Probably because its easy to co-ordinate in a mix and match way (esp when packing). MIB - I like!

This thread started with Jezza suggesting that people were encouraging him to wear black. That isn't strictly what they were getting at, it was more about not wearing beige...

hey ho

[Scotch Bonnet]

Do men that wear black all the time think it makes them better dancers ??Eh no............As long as you are not smelly and change often it doesn't really matter what the colour is.
Boogie nights (Lindsay) had a Pink party in Edinburgh last night and I have to say 'Think Pink',lot's of pink shirts ,it looked good !!!

Happy Springtime

Beige, Black one should strive to be an individual, and not wear what
everyone else is wearing. The girls do it. You don`t often see the girls
wearing the same outfit, week after week.
While some men have one set of dance clothes, that they turn up in. Week
after week. No matter how many times they go dancing during the week.

It's a fresh, clean, shirt every night, what else can be expected of a regular guy ??

So this thread's raised its ugly head again. Oh dear. As I said in post 147, no one should be discouraged from wearing black .

But let's not forget those poor disadvantaged dancers who are somewhat chromatically challanged, and need our help in the wardrobe department:



Beige Concern - for those less fortunate dancers...

And do it now - remember the next stage is Cardigans, and can be terminal!
