I was taken out this morning and bought two new pairs of trousers as apparently I have lost weight and my other trousers are hanging off me! I thought that was the idea. LOL. Anyway. The Boss and I have just had a fashion show with P1ke as the model. Do you have "fashion shows" when you buy new clothes for your nearest and dearest?

responses and comments:
I will buy a bunch of new stuff then come home and model it for my kids. My honey doesn't care what I wear so I have to rely on a 12, 7, and 6 year old to give me their opinions. My honey only models new suits for me. The rest of the time he is in jeans and t-shirts. [cynicalandoutspoken]
Maybe he likes you to wear nothing for him Cyn! LOL. [p1kef1sh]
The last thing that I bought Foxy Lady in the way of apparel, P1ke, was a set (4) of booties. She's allergic to grass and walking barepawed on it causes a terrible itching reaction. The booties protect her from that. She's never bought me anything, which is why I'm all too often spotted poolside in the nude. Memo to self: Nude is gude! (C) 2009 RJScott [rjscott]
Hey Nova, get your Brownie Box Camera out 'cause I've been out in the sun ... and that's what I got ... a little brown box: emphasis on "little." [rjscott]
P1ke people wont know what trousers are here..ya shoulda said...Pants..too LOL Na i dont have fashion shows...we just take each others clothes off heehee..w00t [LoudnProud]
Oooh you are awful LnP.........LOL! [p1kef1sh]
Not me. But I need some dressier pants though. My problem is that while pants makers do accommodate all manner of waist sizes, they seem to think that just because you might be fat, your legs get longer too somehow.shocked I have dropped from size 50 with a 29" inseam, down to nearly size 40. But oddly enough, my legs are still 29" on the inseam. But I can't find pants under 32" until I drop another size or two. Sigh...glare [BCMike]
We appear to be of similar dimensions Mike. There are very few trouser manufacturers that cater for we chaps who are contented round the middle but a little shirt in the leg. I don't know why, because I see lots of us about. [p1kef1sh]
Me and my husband doesn't shop together. I If go he doesn't. He tells me the size and that is what I get but I get the fashion show when He tries them on at home. It is great that you and Boss get to do this together. It is not that my husband hates shopping either he will go himself(has his brother or sister take him.)Well I hope that the trousers fit nicely and no mishaps like with the shorts.. [mtdewgurl74]
Well it has to be that. We had a fight once a few years ago because I wanted to go also and he said forget it he wasn't going, so I asked him right our if he was ashamed of me or embarrassed to be seen with me and he replied yes, I don't know if he replied that way because we were fighting about it or if that is how he really felt. I have never asked since and I never ask to go or ask him to go with me. We have a really messed up whacked out relationship that is for sure. [mtdewgurl74]
Hi ya p1kef1sh I am not a one to parade to be honest! That shocked you I bet. My husband could never wait til he got home to try on all his new clothes and look at himself in the mirror and then show off to me. Even now I don't even try things on in the shops I just grab whatever size I think I am and then try it on when I get home. I have recently bought a couple of really cheap pumps and now have to take them back, either my feet have grown or their sizing is way out in comparison to other shops!! [Humbug25]
I have to be dragged a little to try them on. But when I do I feel great. LOL. [p1kef1sh]
hi P1ke congrats on losing weight and nice that you got new clothes now. No we dont have a fashion show when buying new clothes. Each of us buys his or her stuff separately mostly online. [book1962]
I am not so sure that I have lost weight Book. But the Boss thinks so and who am I to disagree with her?! [p1kef1sh]
You should've taken a picture and modeled them for us! Nope, never did the fashion show thing, my ex wasn't much for that sort of fun. The Boss is very good to you! happy I never bought too many clothes for myself, to be fair about it. He'd always encourage me to do so but I could always think of things we needed more than clothing for me. [dragon54u]
I didn't want to shock you with a pic! Both our families are into fashion shows although it's more the girls than the boys. [p1kef1sh]
hi P1kef1sh, I note the use of pants rather than trousers LOL, you are becoming very American! I always go shopping for clothes with my eldest daughter and yes when I get home she will say 'come on mum go put that dress on with the silver and black shoes in the wardrobe and see what it looks like together' that type of thing and she will get me to mix and match stuff with what I already have and then say see I told you that would go with that but you didn't believe me did you, you look lovely mum bless her. Well done for losing weight whether intentional or not it is always good to have to buy a smaller size. Huggles. Ellie :D [ellie333]
Well pants sort of went with P1ke Ellie. You've mentioned your daughter going with you. It's good when they do that kind of thing. Also she'd know the correct answer to "does my bum look big in this" type questions. LOL. I don't feel like I've lost weight, but what's a boy to do when he's told that he has? XXX [p1kef1sh]
Absolutely, I must model my clothes because I loose a size lately every week. I however do not get to go shoping much. Ainge Congrats to you on the loss if you are happy about it. Have I mentioned to you how lucky your wife is? Also when I come to Europe for my booksignings you going to visit me? [Aingealicia]
I very much agree. he is a wonderful man. Will have to post my photos. Ainge [Aingealicia]
Next time I have new items, I will invite you and your boss for the show....I don't have anyone to do show with....and I don't like shopping....maybe because of the missing show?....lol [polachicago]
lollolw00t deal! [polachicago]
Hi P12key, Yes, the other day I was going and put my jeans on, they were falling off me so I showed my other half and told him I'am slosing weight and all he said was hum! thanks, he don't notice anything, so I had to find a belt to hold them up and went out. Hugs. Tamara [tamarafireheart]
Husbands can be like that Tamara. Stand in front of him and really catch his attention! XXX [p1kef1sh]
No, I usually buy clothes for special occasions and he sees it when I am ready to go out. He on the other hand usually has me go out with him to do clothes shopping, and HE does get to do the whole fashion show thing..................but, only because I make him do it. [thebohemianheart]
Oh, so she makes you do the little runway prance up and down the aisle, too?*LOL* [thebohemianheart]
I wasn't aware that you had lost any weight, p1key! And I see you quite often, so you'd think I would have noticed. Hmm. I think I must not pay any attention to your weight at all. Just that adorable face. My espousa doesn't shop much at all. I buy 98% of his clothes. The rest are mostly t-shirts and scrubs that he finds online. Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Model my new clothes for him? Nah. I'd honestly probably get the stock answer and end up feeling like I haven't been seen. I'll model for you though. [novataylor]
I am not sure that I have lost any either Nova. But if The Boss says that I have, I have! You have modelled one or two things for me. Hats especially!! [p1kef1sh]
My 3 sons are the unfortunate "recipients" of my "fashion shows" when I've done some shopping for clothes. They're very accommodating, and have learned to give compliments readily. I've even gotten them trained well enough, that they notice ON THEIR OWN if I'm wearing something new. Should they have any relationships with women in their futures, they are going to be filling up their emotional love banks so easily! [CanadaGal]
You are training them well! They'll thank you for it when they're older. as will the women in their lives. [p1kef1sh]
Yup, we have them right in the store. Who ever is getting the clothes goes into the dressing room and puts them on then comes out to show the other one and get their opinion. We don't buy clothes unless the other one agrees that they look good. [camomom]
Camodad shops like a girl. He's not feminine or anything but he likes to shop more then I do. He likes to be in style and look good. I don't care as much about my appearance. [camomom]
I dont model nothing for him he doesnt seem to care what I wear or if I wear anything at all so whats the point He has to model everything though because I have to make sure that it doesnt need any alterations [Zukeprv2]
what? the image of me on my knees in front of my husband... pinning his hem LOL [Zukeprv2]
Hey p1ke! Well, I wish you would have taken some pictures of the latest in "P1kef1sh Fashions"! I would have loved to have seen this! My boyfriend likes to go shopping by himself! He doesn't always even show me what he buys unless I ask him to. Last night, however I was in my kitchen/office doing my usual mylotting and he came in to "model" one of his latest new fashions! It was a new "Polo" shirt with his new blue sweatpants! Now that is fashion???? Well, he thinks it is! Dare I to question? A designer shirt with sweatpants? I'm sure you did alot better than that! [Opal26]
I don't own a pair of sweatpants Opal so there's no danger of an inadvertent sartorial disaster! LOL. [p1kef1sh]
i always model what i bought for my hubby if he wasnt with me when i bought them when i get home.. i dont know why.. i did it when i was little too lol.. guess im a show off [moonlitmagikchild]
I think that either you or you don't. Depends how you have been brought up. [p1kef1sh]
Congratulations on losing weight and getting new trousers!! LOL!! I haven't bought new clothes for ages. Apparently, I too have lost weight. I feel my clothes hanging off me!! I am just too busy, rushing around doing too many things to get some new clothes. I guess I will be forced to get some stuff when it all falls off me. But before you begin visualizing too much, let me say wind up my response. :) By the way, no time for a fashion show..LOL!! I just hate clothes shopping. Cheers and happy Mylotting [positiveminded1977]
I'm not wild about clothes shopping, but if needs must etc. I don't feel like I have lost weight but if The Boss says that I have, then I have!! [p1kef1sh]
That is very nice. I wish I could go out and buy some pants that would look decent on me these days. I used to love to model my clothes too. I hope to lose some weight soon also. Congrats to you. [stephcjh]
I don't feel like I have lost too much weight Steph. But I am told that I have and I did manage to get into a slightly smaller waist size; so maybe I have. [p1kef1sh]
So you're a metrosexual then pike? Funnily enough, I only just picked up a new suit this morning! I chose it over the weekend and the alterations were just finished. No fashion show from me though. I walk in the front door, unzip the suit bag, show it to my Wife and then hang it up! Short and sweet. I even loathe trying clothes on at the store before I buy them! Mind you, I'll patiently sit there while my Wife shops or wishes to parade herself. Thankfully though, she's not overly inclined to do this either! [James72]
You haven't?? Oh. Start with doing it in a bus stop then and work your way up from there I reckon. wink [James72]
Most of the times that I have bought clothes I'm out shopping with my oldest daughter. I do sometimes have a 'fashion show' to get her opinion if I'm not sure of the how the item looks/fits. The only time I did that with my b/f was when I was buying formal clothes for a Christmas party. I 'modeled' the outfit I had chosen (before purchase) lol just to make sure it was right for the party. [palonghorn]
I think that there is something to be said for taking children with you shopping. They seem to be able to get away with saying things that BFs can't!! LOL. [p1kef1sh]
No home fashion shows here, my friend. I'll try whatever on in the shop and view myself from every possible angle in the mirror there. If I approve and it feels comfortable to wear, that's good enough for me! I think your lovely wife is just trying to encourage you in your weight loss. Accept and enjoy the attention! Brightest Blessings. [Darkwing]
You know me Darkwing. I always love the attention! [p1kef1sh]
Well, if you wanted to lose weight, then, I am happy for you that you are reaching your goal. However, I love you regardless of your weight. You are just too sweet, kind and loving on the inside not to love dearly. That's what matters to me, not what's on the outside. If you are a bit chubby, then just more to love. My hubby doesn't like fashion shows, unless it is me prancing around in skimpy sexy stuff or naked for him. lol [AnnieOakley1]
I forgot to add that I am also chubby, too. Two fish, then, eh? You can wear the conical with a bowtie and I'll dress up in nuthin' but my cowgirl boots, ok? [AnnieOakley1]
Ummmmm.....errrrrrrrrrr......ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... Do you have to be clothed to have these fashion shows? I just need more information to answer your question properly.w00t [skinnychick]
LMAO! Skip over the pond my friend. [skinnychick]
Not recently, but yeah... Did you get any catcalls? [dawnald]
lol hope you didn't step on anybody's tail... [dawnald]
I have the awfullest time to get my man to try on anything. LOL! He only wears jeans, so that part is easy enough, but shirts....oh my.....I've gotten good at eyeballing it! [Irishfrndly65]
LOL Dahr'lin Sis. XXXX [p1kef1sh]
I do have fashion shows when I buy new clothes, as my husband always tells me "wear it in here and let me see".. I do have to always remember when showing him a new blouse to make sure that I wear a pair of slacks when modeling as he always make some type of lewd remarks if I don't.. He is really good about letting me know if he likes the new clothing or not, and I trust his judgement.. He will let me know if it doesn't look right on me, I am the same way with him, we keep each other from being the butt of other people jokes.. [DonnaLawson]
I wonder about that boy sometimes p1ke, he just will not grow up.. [DonnaLawson]
You lost weight.Then you became handsome.So you had to be a model in a 'fashion show'.When I buy new clothes I also have to walk as a model before my wife.She choices my cloths.I have no option other than surrender to my spouse. [bhanusb]
They rule don't they Bhansub. They lead and we follow. [p1kef1sh]
I always have a fashion show when I have been out buying things. I dont always try them on but I will show them to my boyfriend. If I have only bought a few things then I will try them on but if I have had a mad shopping spree and bought loads then I will just show him. [cinderella2007]
Normally after shopping I am too tired to be trying everytrhing on but if I show him and he likes it then I would try it on. Sounds like you know how to do real fashion shows!!! [cinderella2007]
