  1. It's weird that they lasted as long as they did

    The fat-hobo-in-a-blanket look? I've not seen it anywhere in NYC - except on fat hobos

    I'd rage too if I was told that was fashionable

    Well, he does seem to be going for the fat-hobo-in-a-blanket look
  5. Every time I or any of my friends get invited to a party, we've never ever had the though "Ooh, a party invite! Now, which tank top should I wear?"

    No one I know of would call that a tank top

    Patterns are ok - but beading takes it out of tank top territory
  10. Like I said, decorated = not a genuine tank top

    Are you sure you're not thinking of a sleeveless blouse? Tank tops are very plain, so anything sleeveless that's more decorated is closer to a blouse than a genuine tank top.

    I don't think we'd be allowed to rock up in a t-shirt/tank top and jeans/leggings to a formal event either - the usual rules are suits for the boys, dresses for the girls - so the problem is more that suits are less versatile than dresses - like there's not the huge range of styles and cuts that we can have with dresses - we've got hemlines, sleeves, necklines, backs and sides to play with, but suits are more restricted, and the changes in styles for them have to be smaller and less obvious.

    So what we wear to formal events hasn't really changed from Victorian times - men in suits, women in dresses - it's just that our traditonal formal clothing happens to have way more scope for changes than boys' one has

    But that could be describing a kilt

    Straps offer more security - and single or double spaghetti straps are like the classic style for the LBD.

    Well, that's not really as versatile as the classic little black dress, which everyone should have at least 2 of in their closet

    That's where the rest of the booster pack cash goes - a full-time cat shaver was advertised for on the Paragon Studios job page recently.

    It pays for another white cat for Positron to stroke while he works on more Trials, plans new currencies, and calculates the merit price for the Ascension Armor.
  18. The look on the face doesn't really help either

    You don't need pants with a tunic - like the Cimerorans wear tunics without pants, which is like the traditional way of wearing them.

  22. I'd add a new Trial, a new zone with solo and group content, some QoL stuff, and maybe throw in some more proliferation and some kind of revamp for parts of the older lower level content.

    I'm on Guardian and we have a well-known Tank on the server who has Tiger heads [his toon looks very nice too]. He is the only one I can remember seeing regularly wearing pieces from this pack! Sad. Also play on Virtue and dont see it much over there, even.
    I've seen quite a few - but mostly just the cat heads - there are a few wolves and birds around too, but bulls are very rare
