Hey, Mrs Potatohead, welcome to the dizzy heights of 'thread starterdom'...don't look down..whoa!

Cool.

Anyways...I like black clothes too...probably for all the reasons that you said, and because it makes me look dark lol.
People see me and say, "Look, that dude's, like, all dressed in black!"

But, I like wearing white as well (oh, the conflict in my spirit spills into my wardrobe)...('wardrobe' used in the loosest possible terms)..but, my fav bit of clothing, is my stoner top.
This is a surgical gown that I nicked when my first child was born via Caeserian section. I had to go into Theater, and obviously had to 'gown-up' (a technical term), but thought "hey, this is reeeaally comfy"..so when the cutting and sewing up was done, I simply put my own sweatshirt over the top of it, and RAN LIKE A MOTHER OUT OF THE DOOR!!
I got away scot-free (which was handy, because those scots can be expensive, ya know!), and still have it today
It has a few tell-tale blim holes in it, and always starts a conversation off..

"Err..like, dude, ...err..are you, like, a nurse, or summat?"
"Ah ha..funny you should ask, there is a story ......."

(unless it's a chick asking, to which I usually reply;
"Me? A nurse?...Yeeeeeeess, I am an ex-mammographer, as it happens...."

Usually, I end up back in A&E, where I can replenish my growing supply of Medical Gowns
No pain, no gain, I say mwhahahaha
