While I never possessed the body type (as pictured since my Slavic people were designed to be heavy laborers) and have only dreamed of having that body type my entire life), this hearkening back to the mid-late 1990s is stil very much my fashion “sense”.
I loved my JNCOs and other baggy denim.
I loved (and still do) my black hoodies.
I miss my various necklaces I’d wear back in my 20s as well, including my stupid ass insanely long chain wallets.
But… well… while I can sit back and watch the skinny guys of the mid 2020s now wearing my clothing of 30 years ago, no old man can really pull such looks off now.
I mean, I suppose if I was super skinny I could.
But I looked frumpy and dumpy back then and OHMYFUCKINGGOD would I look horrendous today if I tried to dress like that.
Still… I can have this fantasy (minus the body art)!
So… when you think of Naladahc, think of fantasy Nala all skinny and young and with long hair (and not thinning/balding) looking all fabulous and getting ready for a night of clubbing and flailing his long hair all around on the dance floor to phat beats.
Yes. Remember me that way over the thing I have become.
But remember this: We still see ourselves in our heads looking like we wanted to look when we were in our 20s!!!
