I'm thinking of the shift in men's stylishness. It seems that everybody at work and in my family are talking about these new (incredibly ad-supported) t-shirt brands that are cut to hide men's bellies and accentuate their biceps. I don't ever remember a time when this was just so pervasive. I've heard about one brand about four times from different people in the past two weeks!
I should mention that I'm Canadian, so any Europeans reading this are probably confused because men have tons of style options! But my understanding of men's clothing is that it, for the most part, includes baggy, overly large t-shirts with ill-fitting jeans and that's about the extent of it. It seems that the marketing people out there are catching into this finally.
Of course, this is all anecdotal, and I've been getting more interested in getting into shape, so who knows how much of my perception is influenced by web browsing algorithms.

JohnnyCache LinkThis is a very timely question! There is one company in particular that is plastering ads for shirts everywhere online. I haven't tried them, but the consensus seems to be that they do fit well...This is a very timely question! There is one company in particular that is plastering ads for shirts everywhere online. I haven't tried them, but the consensus seems to be that they do fit well but are made of terrible fabric that doesn't hold up well.
This seems to be a question that a lot of people (men in particular?) are struggling with right now, and there is certainly a lot of desire out there to find some solutions! I'm looking forward to all of your responses.

Now I pull over as soon as I feel my eyes getting tired. I'll set an alarm for 20 minutes or so and nap.

I am somewhere over 1550 days now, going strong!!
My kids wanted to watch a horror movie, but they're still young enough that there's no way I'd allow that.
Then I remembered how mild Vincent Price movies are! We watched The House on Haunted Hill, The Bat, The Last Man on Earth and House of Wax.
We all loved them! The kids initially said that the first movie sucked because it was in black and white, but by the end, they were discussing how the black and white provided for a spookier atmosphere and they couldn't imagine watching colorized versions. So overall, they were quite the success. And these movies themselves are a ton of fun to watch.
