Do you have an aesthetic?

Post Reply New Topic

i'm too GD much of a blinkin' slob to have an aesthetic. that said, i love contrasting colors and woodgrain, bronze and brass and silver and chrome. velour [never shiny slick leather], suede, bolstered pillowey upholstery. gotta be surround sound wherever i'm at, in terms of musical reproduction in the home. mellow and not especially bright.

As far as clothes go, no.

As far as my tastes in everything else in life, definitely girly and kawaii aesthetic.

I don't know if I have a specific "aesthetic". I like the colour green and anything that goes with it. I also just wear solid coloured t-shirts and shorts/jeans. I have no aesthetic. lol

I'm mostly oblivious to such things. I pick clothes based on how little they will bother me, or how much they'll help me (e.g. cap in sunny weather). I've had the same haircut for about 12 year now. It'll probably stay that way until it starts falling off, and then I'll trim it to a crew cut.

My wife decorates our home. I help keeping it clean, though.

Back in the mid-to-late 1980's, bright colors and heavy black eye-liner, think Siouxsie and the Banshees meets A Flock of Seagulls My best friend/mate's parents always told him that I was going to give him AIDS; admittedly there were a whole lot of men that wanted me. I may be weird/queer but I'm heterosexual, so that confuses EVERYONE.

Since then I guess one might say my aesthetic is what my wife and I call "he-man", no, not Masters of the Universe, but 1930's-1960's classic field and stream outdoorsy. I do like nice suits and silk ties, one of my fave ties is from the 1940's of a very stylized nude woman: when I wear that one I get a whole lot of double takes

My art aesthetic is painting native California and fat nude women: currently doing fat devil-girls and angels. I'm just waiting for someone to tell me I can't/shouldn't paint those things, "Why, does it make you uncomfortable to see a beautiful woman who is very, very fat?"

Or, "You'll go to hell for that..."

"I'll save you a seat when I get there; I understand that the fishin's great by the Lake of Fire during the summer..."

Our house is a 1926 Spanish Revival Style so 1900's -1940's, but the back of the house was added on in the 1950's, so that's where we keep our 1950's-60's stuff.

DIVAIR

This is what I look like when I'm most happy. It's how I've always dressed.

I think I could fall into the girly and boho aesthetic because I forgot half my wardrobe because I’m in pajamas all day.

I found this amazing wiki for aesthetics! There's loads on there! Here it is: link

People who look the way Mick Avory looked in the Summer of 1964, of all genders. I call them Bubs because of their bubby lips.
