So, new thread it is! Get your saucy, flattering, embarrassing and nekkid photos out and start posting (again). That includes the lurkers.

To start off, a fairly hefty (and therefore linked) pic of me and my beloved at Denver airport, which I may well have posted before.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 19 September 2003 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw!

― robster (robster), Friday, 19 September 2003 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Is this "BEST EVAH" in the sense of being the greatest hits of previously posted pix?

Well, here's a fresh picture of me for you all to chew on:

Me. In Edinburgh almost exactly 2 years ago, give or take a couple of days. Taken by ILX's very own Caitlin.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 19 September 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Do any Britishers in their late 20s know which Grange Hill character Chris Piuma reminds me of? Cos I can't think of his name and it's doing my head in...

That map is so rad, teeny! "America's largest prairie dog", or "America's biggest sprocket museum" or whatever. I'd look for a proper online pic of it if I wasn't ~~a lazy motherfucker~~ working really hard right now.

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 19 September 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Mark, I reckon Francis 'Mauler' McCall.

― robster (robster), Friday, 19 September 2003 13:53 (twenty-one years ago)

also it's funny how Kingfish looks kinda like Tep, and Tep kinda looks like Mr. Teeny, but Mr. Teeny doesn't look like Kingfish.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 19 September 2003 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmm, yeah, but you could probably link me to any bald bloke you choose in two steps or fewer.

(NB this is not a challenge, unless you can do it with ILXors)

(NBB Phil Mitchell has never been on ILX)

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 19 September 2003 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I cannot possibly look like someone named "Mauler". "Mahler", maybe.

Lovely photos. I was especially happy to see the SO CAl group.

That's funny, Sarah - that has been said to me before. I am not in her league at all, nowhere near, but it was a lovely thing to say though :)

Thank you, teeny! (I'm kinda awkward with compliments and I've gone a deep shade of pink now)

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I am amused by the inclusion of "alive." as if someone would ever say "you remind me of a young, DEAD princess di!" but yes, i can see the comparison too :)

I'm emo-less, because they look terrible on me, but the girlfriend's got em; I was going to post a photo, and then realized a) I should ask her first and b) you can't actually see the glasses in the photo I have on the camera.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 20 October 2003 17:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha I should take a photo of Millar in his emo glasses too, but his are different than the rest of ours. Also I just saw a photo on an old "What do you look like thread?" (cos for some reason I decided to spend my lunch break skimming those instead of doing anything productive) of RJG in the glasses. They really do get around, it's like you create a log in and poof, black-rimmed Rivers Cuomo spex on your face.

― Ally-zay, Monday, 20 October 2003 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

(Mine aren't black, they are dark brown tortoiseshell. This makes me a suave indie fuk.)

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 20 October 2003 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Nabisco has them too!

xpost, I used to have tortoiseshell too but I decided glasses the same color as my hair was a bad idea for some random reason I can't remember now. I should get bright red ones and be like the Sally Jesse of the indie crew.

― Allyz, Monday, 20 October 2003 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a tortoiseshell pair too, but I lost them. Now I just have dorky wire-rim glasses. I am always out of the ilx-loop!

― Nicolars (Nicole), Monday, 20 October 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Nonsense, you are dorque chic.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 20 October 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, Lindsey's are tortoiseshell, too, sort of ... warm brown..ish. She just dyed her hair reddish the other day, and it's the same color as the glasses now, which is weird but good in an action-figure sort of way.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 20 October 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Mine are wire, Nicole, we can be our own loop! Especially since they're getting harder and harder to find.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 20 October 2003 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay wire! That's my backup pair, the main set is a good titanium frame.

I have a bias against horn-rim/tortoiseshell because that's what I mostly had while growing up -- didn't mind up to a point, but then I did, violently (thank you, middle school bullies!). Switched to metal and/or wire in ninth grade and haven't looked back.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 20 October 2003 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I've got wire as well. Dorque chic. I like that.

I also sometimes wear those glasses, but not, as most of you have seen, in this picture:

― Wicket The Bear (adaml), Monday, 20 October 2003 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Oddly, I've been considering a move back to the wire rim or the no-rim; I moved away from the no-rim style a while back because I was too damned rough with my glasses and kept breaking them. Now that I'm not so hyper it might be worth a try again, and then I can swap between the two depending on how emo I'm a-feelin'.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 20 October 2003 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I totally have those glasses, too. Dear lord.

Everyone should stop wearing glasses. It's ruining the future generations vision. The can't-see gene is getting out of control.

I have yet to get a pair of emo glasses. Maybe with the next paycheck, i shall. I need new glasses, anyway.

http://deanna.ladyinterference.com/ilx/deanna.jpg

And since I've decided against traveling during the Christmas holidays in exchange for HOPEFULLY getting LASIK surgery, I am planning on this current pair of glasses being the LAST pair of glasses I ever own. Thank God.

Sam, considering that I could actually catch a bus to get to DFW, Dallas is so not out of the question. And your favored types of plastic rims are quirky and unique and should not be lumped in together with the pre-adolescent chunky disasters I wore a long time ago.
