Do you iron things?

[Timenspace]

Ye

not like dressing up either. Just short and T shirt

YEP. If situations do not require, why would one, is that line of thought. My boyfriend is like that. It works totally fine.

I have in general noticed a shift in the theaters and schools too, here, at least.

Perhaps in the last 5, 10 or more years, the dress code has deformalised significantly.

There are probably 2 or 3 men in my work enviroment who wear actual shoes, at least occasionally. All has been swept over by the tennis shoes or sports shoes.

The students? Even more rarely.

It is supremely comfortable, of course.

ohhh...unfortunately there is a message: video unavailable...what was the punch line? Or the core message?

The core message is, “It’s more important to look good than to feel good, you know what I mean, Baby? And you look marvelous! You really do!”

It’s more important to look good than to feel good

Oh I know, my feet know. There is a looong history of me wearing uncomfortable but cute shoes.
By all means, you do you. Or she does her...( is that the proper declination)
However, that era in my life is slowly swept away into history.

Same here, as far as shoes go. I had a few foot issues, like corns and perpetually-sore toes, and I finally bought a pair of wider orthopedic shoes, and all that disappeared, almost overnight.

had a few foot issues

Yes, I totally understand. Me too. Flat feet, so orthopedic insoles, plus another issues ( stiff thumb), that just need care and protection to not turn into a bigger issue.
There are certain conditions a shoe needs to fulfill for me to wear them. In particular for longer walks.

Well I think there may be some dissention here. I mean, if I said that to my next door neighbour (Lt. Col, retired, parachute regiment) he might just take offence...

I don't iron clothes, but since starting the patchwork course, I've ironed more (fabric) in 5 weeks than (clothes in) the last 5 years...

Hubby gets to do his own shirts. Very little of mine gets ironed. The occasional linen trousers (last used for a funeral)...

I also occasionally steam block my knitting, but I prefer wet blocking though steam blocking works when you can't get something dry.

Otherwise myself and the iron are strangers.

i stopped ironing stuff when i realized i could buy clothing that didn't require ironing. So, no. And I don't have an iron.

But the really joyous fabrics need a quick touch of the iron.
I'll just say silk pyjamas and leave it there

You wear pyjamas? Its OK i am jesting. We already have a thread about wearing bed clothing.

Yep, if I ironed my PJ’s, I’d have to go to the emergency room…”Hmmmm…no starch then, sir?”

 

[Lullabelle]

I find it therapeutic, 'me' time.

I like things to be wrinkle free.

Nekked as jaybirds, those two.

Never understood where that phrase came from. One for the "sayings" thread.
