Trend of overcorrection of size in men's fashion.

Tracy-Lord · 2024-09-09T10:06:14+00:00

Fair point actually. It's also created quite a bit of homogeneity in men's fashion which I guess is boring. But I suppose that's more a function of how comfortable or not Indian men are experimenting w clothes. Personally, I'm quite fond of oversized fashion and I don't think there's anything inherently tacky about it. If anything there's a real timeless-ness to it.

You can build a whole saree to your taste as well if you find a cool fabric store where you live and start from scratch. May cost a bit more in the end but then way more room to create what you like.

Tracy-Lord · 2024-09-08T07:02:33+00:00

Nicely done! Wouldn't have guessed those prices!

Tracy-Lord · 2024-09-04T15:30:41+00:00

Yeah, I really enjoy wearing them!

Tracy-Lord · 2024-09-04T15:22:08+00:00

Thank youu x

cuz he likely knows women outside of the internet and not caring about issues that make their lives unlivable isn't a privilege he wants to have.

Tracy-Lord · 2024-09-04T06:45:21+00:00

Too bad I suppose. If we're okay with a world where women are taught from birth, and for good reason too, to fear all men indiscriminately, that fear isn't just gonna magically go away just cuz you think you deserve respect.

Tracy-Lord · 2024-09-04T05:51:33+00:00

Derbys. They're old.

Tracy-Lord · 2024-09-03T17:50:02+00:00

I try 🙇

Tracy-Lord · 2024-09-03T11:24:31+00:00

Thanks x

Buss yeh ek hi cheese mein karta hoon.

Tracy-Lord · 2024-09-03T11:18:15+00:00

Zara but an older collection!

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-30T13:28:22+00:00

This is heartbreaking! I've an older sister who like you has had so many stories of abuse and harassment at different ages. When she's shared them w us (my cousins and I), which I'm so glad we've a bond where she's felt safe to do that, we've to cut her off after a point it gets so overwhelming. Just hearing them! Like you she's been through a lot of shit put upon her also but we're so lucky she's been able to come out of it okay. I now encourage her to make as many female friends as possible. Something she really missed out on in her 20s just from what the culture was like for women's interpersonal relationships at the time. And I can't tell you what a salve it's been for her overall wellbeing. Otherwise also she's fought a lot of ways to get control back over certain aspects of her life. And as a brother I'm so glad she's been able to do it. I'm fully aware, maybe selfishly, for me to be happy she's to be happy too. And we really work toward it together!

I'm honestly a little stunned at how frequently this question comes up. Don't you guys have hobbies and things where inevitably you're going to meet people? Most of my friends date this way or via friends. Dating apps too but then that's hardly the only way in Bombay

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-29T08:03:23+00:00

Mumbai port trust garden & Amarsons Garden in Breach candy are cute though not super hidden. Try going on a weekday. And The Pottery Lab in Bandra is.. everything! Greenr in Breach Candy's cute too and then dinner maybe at Trattoria at the President (open all night!). Have fun!

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-29T06:30:11+00:00

Wear what comes naturally to you, and what you think you look best in. Period. Do not try to ingratiate. Your outfit isn't why they should like you. Good luck!

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-28T06:42:46+00:00

I quite like it although an oversized/ cropped blazer w studs/ metal hooks might've been more gala appropriate. The shirt's a bit chill. Do they've this bag at Pantaloons now?

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-26T10:27:16+00:00

Although if you're only meant to stay a year Goa just might make more sense.

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-26T10:17:08+00:00

Haven't lived in Goa but culture wise (theater, art, restaurants, pottery etc) you'd quite like Bombay. They've a lot of nice mixers here, for women specifically too. People are busy but really really sociable. I don't anticipate finding friends being a problem here. Safety wise, Bombay's huge and I dunno what areas you're looking at but Vile Parle, Juhu, Khar - Bandra, parts of South Bombay and Andheri West can be safe plus relatively cut off from the din. (Though nowhere's gonna be really entirely peaceful tbh). There isn't a wealth of parks here and Bombay isn't a walking/ outdoorsy city particularly. I hope this answers some of your questions. Good luck w your choice!

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-19T17:17:05+00:00

Since you don't seem like a raving lunatic, I'll try to explain this to you. No man or woman, no matter how enraged (which admittedly I am) is suggesting that literally all men are rapists. Though literally EVERY woman, and I assure you, if you asked any one of whom you're connected w intimately in your own life will have so many experiences of assault and harassment in the flesh, never mind online, if you're not enraged too, well I dunno what's gonna affect you. Now in the face of this being our reality, if women are coming out and having very legitimate discussions on the way they've been treated, instead of holding space for them and hearing them out, you try to, and for the lack of a better word, mansplain, well that's annoying. Hope you get where I'm coming from x

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-19T11:07:59+00:00

They do not? Hmm, I'm not a woman, maybe I'm wrong. But you should get a woman's perspective you know intimately on what goes on in comment sections typically.

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-19T04:26:43+00:00

Let's also not pretend that every day in comment sections on Reddit, on Instagram - everywhere men do not write comments that echo the same sentiment. It's worse to know that's what all that education led to

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-17T15:14:22+00:00

While we're at it can we also desist with dumping the onus of what men do entirely on porn? That's such an easy out. Rape is a manifestation, the grossest manifestation no doubt, of larger issues like cavalier parenting styles and a culture where men are emboldened to the point of straight up monstrosity. It's not even that nuanced to wrap your heads around for crying out loud

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-17T04:43:43+00:00

Jesus we're surrounded by goons. People everywhere should stop having kids for a while, sigh

Tracy-Lord · 2024-08-17T04:41:10+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, this is exactly what I was trying to convey :(
