This makes me think of when mothers dress twins the same. But how about when you have your own idea of how to dress? When you're aware of how you dress, why would you mirror your mate and dress IDENTICALLY!

I always marvel at the adds google selects to conincide with your posts, but these ones take the cake... Threesome dating sites, filopino wives, and financial services! How funny....

And as long as the brogans aren't indulging in bromances then i say let them be, as long as they are in cages at the zoo i mean....

but they are! and multiplying, evidently.
I almost can't believe that photo.

having said that...I had the same get up (it's truewoowoo - though more grey than red) which i so joyfully picked out in Dimmocks as a 15 year old in high school 1991.

My jeans were more flared though, to balance my ass.
Does that make it okay?

Sounds to me like you brought fashion flair to the look. Did you have a doppelganger walking with you at all times though?
