Ask Mecha: I need help with picking a genre or style of dressing I normally have lots of tattoos and dress like--well, not the lead singer of a modern rock band, but something along those lines--but was recently told that it doesn't match my personality which is thoughtful and friendly. People tell me I act like the person that should dress preppy, but I dont like that style, any suggestions on stores or styles of dress that will fit my personality?

As far as genres of dressing are concerned, I think I'm leaning toward creamy--ranch, bleu cheese, Russian, that kind of thing. What do you think?

box, today I was all about a rosemary/garlic/balsamic vinegar conconction with lots of pepper and extra virgin fruity olive oil.

Ooh, that sounds delicious. Today I treated the coworkers to ice cream, and bought some pumpkin pie ice cream for myself.

In completely unrelated news, I'm also playing some songs on the Radio Mecha. Come join me, if you're so inclined.

I'm more of a honey dijon myself..

(and screw genres of dress. I love send massively mixed messages with my threads. The baseball hats say either 'jock' or 'hip-hop.' The bike chain bracelet & phillips screwhead earrings say 'industrial.' The flannel and levi's say 'redneck.' The chucks and quarter length brown leather jacket say 'retro.' The LP record charm chain and silver rings day 'guido,' the chucks and goatee say 'grunge,' the shoulder length-hair says 'rocker.'

End result: complete confusion. Keep 'em guessing.)

(and the t-shirts, depending on which one I wear say 'rocker' or 'geek.' don't wanna leave anything out)

I really can't stop thinking about an extra virgin fruity Specklet. Contradiction-in-terms? Romaine/spinach/radicchio/parsley bed? Sex magnet? Croutons, or no? What fruit? Blueberries are nice on a salad. So are dried cranberries. But what if it's a watermelon? What then?

Hee! Spinach, chevre, toasted walnuts, dried cherries. Croutonless specklet.

OMG I just realized that's a haiku! I'm a genius!

Oh wait. "Chevre" has one syllable. I take back the genius part.
