[NightWatcher]

2. I almost bought some Doc Martens last month too.

bring back grunge

[Rising Phoenix]

hehe, I still have my blue ones

can't let go of shoes with so many memories. My flannels from those days I wore till they fell off my body. Now I have an awesome new one, so comfy I never want to wash it. (Don't worry I will, but then how would you know, we are on line )

[NightWatcher]

6. I wore my last paid out back in the early 2000's...

should I get the red, purple, or classic black????

[Rising Phoenix]

7. red definitely

its a classic flannel color and clashes with everything else you will have on!

[NightWatcher]

9. ooooo from their website

[Rising Phoenix]

10. sweet

they have girly ones with flowers too

[Rising Phoenix]

4. dupe

[Callalily]

5. LOL! I'm still wearing my Doc Martens

and I bought them in the last century. They look similar to this.

[Rising Phoenix]

8. sweet

here are what mine are like, and you know, still comfy as hell

[HopeHoops]

11. I've had a flannel shirt on every day for at least the last two months.

They're the best!

[Rising Phoenix]

12. I think its a revolution...

back to a simpler time. Music was good, pot was cheap, and you didn't know that there was a difference between bud light and sam adams cause you took whatever you could get.

You got your sleep in school, listened to music all night and got busted stealing a smoke by the school cops.

[HopeHoops]

13. Shit, I've been wearing them since junior high (mid 70's).

Actually, I think I still have some of those - well, my wife wears them now.

[Rising Phoenix]

14. you never lost your cool... that is why

[HopeHoops]

16. Well, maybe I did - who the hell is that a picture of?

:shrug:

[Rising Phoenix]

17. really?

Kurt Cobain

Really?

[HopeHoops]

18. Well, that's actually what I thought - but I wasn't sure.

I'm more of a classic rock sort of guy.

[Rising Phoenix]

19. whatever floats your boat

[HopeHoops]

20. Well, I like Berlin - especially Pleasure Victim

The CD has the extended version of "Sex".

[Rising Phoenix]

15. In case everyone can't tell

I just got the Nirvana box set.

[NightWatcher]

21. With the Lights Out or a new one?

"that dude on the left looks like the guy from Foo Fighters"
-from a person who had "heard of" Nirvana

[Rising Phoenix]

22. With the lights out

is there another?

I know I'm late to the party, but I am not made of money, and it was pretty expensive when it came out.

[NightWatcher]

23. I got it as a gift before I even knew it existed

[Rising Phoenix]

25. I asked for it many a xmas

I never get what I ask for

[SanddancerUSA]

24. Not in my 15 year old world you wouldn't.

You'd be taken round the back of the bicylce sheds for some "re-education."

[Rising Phoenix]

26. me?

I need re- education?

[CatholicEdHead]

27. Flannel Shirts never go out of style here

They are very popular October->April.

[Rising Phoenix]

28. where is "here"

My brother just saw me.....hey Eddie Veddar he said

He know wants a flannel for xmas.

[CatholicEdHead]

37. See the avatar

;)

[stray cat]

44. MN rocks - and I wore flannel shirts in the winters there - nice and cozy!

[BreweryYardRat]

29. I'm kinda jealous.

My flannel shirts don't get used much, because I'm in Florida. There's maybe four weeks a year (and not even consecutive from day to day) where it gets into that 55-65 degree range where you can just wear flannel over a T-shirt.

[UndertheOcean]

30. well, you look 15 , what is with the blonde hair ? bronette suited you better ,

and why do you always take pictures from above , don't you ever take a proper picture , facing the camera.

on edit : wait ? only 15 year olds can wear flannel shirts ? I don't understand why ?

[Rising Phoenix]

31. ok

1. I like the blonde, feels more me.....my actual color ( dark brown) is underneath, I also have some purple in there. Brown to me is boring and shows my two grey hairs

2. No I don't take proper pics. I like strange views, I find them more interesting and I like interesting. My sis is the photographer, not me.

3. Anyone can wear flannels, of course. But I haven't worn one since high school. So wearing one now makes me feel like I am 15.


thank you for the brunette compliment, I think, I just like having fun with my hair.

you think too much.......thats what my sis said to me, and I'm saying it to you, finally knowing what she means.

[UndertheOcean]

33. cursed with thinking too much ....

[Rising Phoenix]

35. I know, you think you should think,

but my sister told me to every now and then, relax, watch mindless tv or movies. laugh. look at shiny objects....

34. flannel becomes you, baby.

:P

[Rising Phoenix]

36. thanks hon

I feel like me.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. Good time of year for flannel.

It keeps you warm.

[nickinSTL]

39. and what's Nirvana got to do with flannel shirts?

I was wearing flannel from the time I was 8 - and I was in college by the time Nirvana came around.

They didn't have anything whatsoever to do with me wearing flannel - which I still do on a regular basis.

[Rising Phoenix]

40. flannel was often associated with the grunge movement/ music

I didn't make the rules

I started wearing flannel around the time I heard Nirvana.....screw you establishment who wants me to look pretty.


Of course anyone can wear flannel and should

But it is also associated with the grunge movement

[nickinSTL]

41. I know flannel is associated with grunge

Just that for me, the "grunge" movement is (and was at the time) pretty unimportant.

I wore flannel because I like it and it's comfortable, not because it was cool. That's still true.

:shrug:

[Rising Phoenix]

46. as did i

wore what I want when and where


but it also says something about yourself

[kentauros]

47. and Lumberjacks

:P

[kentauros]

42. I have flannel sheets.

What age does that make me? :P

Flannel is fun! :D

[stray cat]

45. and warm, cozy, homey and safe!

[texanwitch]

43. I had a flannel hippy shirt way back in high school.

I wasn't a hippy but I my best friend was.

I like flannel shirts.

[Bluzmann57]

48. Whoa! Let's get this straight.

You bought a flannel shirt and it's some sort of novelty to you? Good grief! I have been wearing flannel shirts since around junior high school and will continue to wear them until I die. Flannel is great, especially for those of us who live in the upper Midwest and work outside.

[Rising Phoenix]

49. its a novelty to me

[Odin2005]

50. Aye-chee-wowa!!!

:loveya:

[rurallib]

51. Ever try flannel sheets?

We keep our house cool and flannel sheets are to die for!

[RagAss]

52. I lived in those things in the 70's. Those were better days.

[proteus_lives]

53. Mine would be Hawaiian shirts.

I loved those when I was a kid.
