The New Adventures Of Radiodave

[Thighbootguy]

Tonight was a milestone.  I am directing a play at the community theater I'm involved with. 

 

 

Dave;

 

As a members of the art's community, you can get away with a lot more than you might think.  When I'm wearing knee high boots with jeans or leggings, I often have folks comment to me that "you must be an artist."  It seems that folks have the image of a guy in high boots being of one who will express himself or it is the excuse folks using to rationalizing my appearance. .

 

You didn't mention how you wore the boots.  From your account, I assumed you wore them under slacks.  Next time, show them off.  Declare yourself as an artist.  (There great looking boots by the way. Don't hide them.)

Way to go Dave.  I'm not there yet for sure!  The other pair, yes, I would wear, but the narrower heel version....not so much for me...lol!  But you did!

I once had a lady walk up to me and ask if I'm an artist. I vaguely remember the conversation continuing along the lines of:

Me: "No, I'm not."

Her: [glancing at my heels] "So why are you dressed like that?" (I was wearing court stilettos, jeans, shirt and v-neck jumper, or something similar).

Me: "I guess it's a social statement."

Her: "Isn't that what art is?"

Me: "Yes, I suppose you're right."

 

By that reckoning perhaps we're all artists in a way.

Dave, do you think you directed the play differently/better because you were wearing heels?

So, can you draw, SH?

Surely you can at least color inside the lines with crayons.

Some artist express themselves with paint and drawing materials, some with film, some by creating a performance as a director, some with music... Others expression themselves with fashion.  The common thread is that they express themselves (and if they are acclaimed, it's generally because they have done it well).

 

Notably, JeffB is becoming a fashion artist.

Not much to report today, other than I wore my Aldo "Skarivano" boots in black suede with black dress pants all day. Only 2" heels that are pretty well concealed, but they are SO comfortable. Nice to wear them to work without a second thought. Kind of an interesting experience when I actually have to decide which boots to wear today.

A fashion artist, eh? Not bad for someone who can't draw a straight line WITH a ruler!
