If they aren't light blue, I'm not interested. It's the only denim shade I actually wear, mostly because it does wonders for my backside. That's all there is to it.
Look, just hold your horses. Wait until you actually know what you're getting into. Save up your cash and head to a legitimate professional studio where they'll do it right, regardless of whether your dad or whoever else decided to go rogue with a needle. I’ve known plenty of people who tried DIY tattoos in their garages—some were stumbling through it under the influence of booze or drugs, others used makeshift equipment like ballpoint pens and amateur sketches because "hey, you're my buddy, let me try this on you." They’re all still breathing and healthy for now, but those tattoos? They're nothing more than a permanent reminder of how reckless they were. Just go to a real shop.😬
I’ve wanted a tattoo for years, but after having four moles removed, my doctor gave me a serious reality check. He doesn't recommend getting inked—especially color work—for anyone prone to moles. His take is that people with sensitive skin or lighter complexions should probably steer clear, especially if they plan on ignoring medical advice and doing it themselves. It definitely threw me for a loop since he actually knows what he's talking about, but the urge to get one hasn't gone away.
That’s why I’m asking. I’m looking for some thin sneakers. I know they aren't exactly pricey over there, but honestly, I just don't want them falling apart after a few wears. thanx!
Anyone here have experience with sneakers from New Yorker? Looking for some lightweight kicks for the summer. A friend mentioned they carry them there and the prices are decent, but I'm not looking to throw money away if they're going to fall apart in a week.
Sean Richardson9 said:Hey, I was wondering—how much does it cost to switch from a trapezoid shape to a flat one?
Yeah, honestly, if anything I buy isn't a straight cut, I take it straight to the tailor. Those silhouettes are just better—they fit every body type perfectly. As for the price? I’d guess maybe $5 or $6 if my math isn't totally off. I usually go to the local dry cleaners downtown, and they’ve never let me down once.
Honestly, I’m most satisfied with my Mustangs. I used to own these Wranglers—zero stretch, pure perfection. I couldn't find them anywhere in the States for the longest time, but even though they aren't quite what they used to be, two of my girlfriends swear by them. Usually, I just buy pants if I like the color and if they actually fit my backside. I'm definitely not blessed in that department, so I almost always end up taking them to a tailor anyway. I have a thing for straight-leg cuts.
Wicked Messenger said:Basically, my night out goes like this: First, I meet up with the old crowd at a local pub... we drink until about 12:30 AM, then once the retirees head home to bed, I bolt with the younger crew to hit up Apple or Mocvara until sunrise. I'm a kid at heart, if you catch my drift. 😁
Good grief, man, how much cash are you carrying around?! Hitting the bar before the club... man... My friends and I can barely scrape together enough for a shot of absinthe and a couple beers in the park, plus cover charge, and even then we're just winging it once we get inside. You're something else!
Austin Phillips3 said:If you're driving, you aren't drinking. And if you aren't drinking, you shouldn't even bother showing up at Apple. Honestly, it's a lost cause; even if you trek up there on foot, the sobriety starts creeping back in anyway. 🤣
That’s why you drink in the park before hitting Apple.👍
Purple said:The Apple is basically just the Swamp, only it’s tucked away in some middle-of-nowhere hole. Though, to be fair, the Swamp is also in the middle of nowhere, just on a hill instead. 😬
It's not quite the same thing. Both places suck, let's be real. At least the Swamp tries to put on shows with these wannabe DJs, and the music actually follows a schedule—usually, when I wander in, they're playing rock or metal hits just because they sound "hard."👎 But the Apple? I only ever went there on Saturdays for those "faith and devotion" nights. All I can remember hearing while grabbing a drink at the bar was Madonna's La Isla Bonita, some The Cult, maybe a Depeche Mode track or two, or Rammstein (which I personally can't stand). That's about it. A friend told me they even played Guns N' Roses a few weeks back. Yeah... I don't know what else to tell you.
ambermoose6 said:Boogaloo... I've got some serious trauma from that club, so I won't go there right now. It’s probably not even the venue's fault; more like my own tendency toward public embarrassment.😉
My only trauma from Boogaloo is paying fifteen bucks for two measly sips of beer.👎
Austin Phillips3 said:Apple is a disaster. You only walk in there if you're dead drunk and looking to harass women. 😬
I'm with you on that. Aside from harassing women—which I won't do, since I am one—who actually cares about this?😬 Honestly, Apple is absolutely terrible. Not even a chronic alcoholic could handle it; I’m dying from the indescribably stupid, discordant music after only thirty minutes there. And then there's that girl who thinks she's all "goth"—she spends half her life just staring at herself in the mirror. What a joke.
When is an actual, decent rock club finally going to open in this hellhole called Chicago?
Maybe it’s time to shake up the playlist. It’s getting exhausting listening to nothing but overplayed hits from the same few bands and those tired, cliché acts.
It’s got nothing to do with menstrual cramps, but whiskey was my go-to whenever I had a toothache. I’d soak a cotton ball in it and press it against the spot. Local moonshine did the trick.🙂

Give me a break. Not everyone's out here puking.😬. Besides, before anyone goes out and gets wasted, they should probably grab some olives, something fatty, or just take a shot of olive oil. Period.
