Dominican Fashion, Style, Do's and Do Not's - Whats your opinion??

[Robert]

Walk down Venezuela one Saturday night, take a look in "Cool Bar, "House Drink" etc, then cross the bridge and take a look in the clubs and bars on Lincoln, Lopa de Vega etc. Then you might understand how distinctly different the fashion statements and cultural norms really are.

If you take a girl from "House Drink" and stick her in "PRAIA" or "Switch" she will look and feel like a fish out of water. The girls in PRAIA" or "Switch" will never cross the river, if they do, they will not tell their friends.

Some of you need to actually experience what goes on here, how fashion functions and who the various fashions apply to.

When was the last time any of you spent time around Venezuela and Lincoln/Churchill area at night? After all, these are by far the two most popular night spots in the Dominican Republic. Jammed packed with 1,000's of people on a Fri/Sat night.

Whatever blows your skirt up, but please don't confuse a bunch of spoiled rich kids chasing each other around in daddy-bought clothes for fashion.

I understand perfectly well.

'Never the Twain Shall Meet' and all that.

But just because I do not seal myself off from the other 75% of the culture it does not make me a genetic Chopo.

Like I said, vagabonds and Kings.
You will find them remarkably similar once you cut through the facade.

So tell me, who's in right now with the spoiled rich kids?
What are they wearing? Who's influencing them? What bars are they hanging out in? Who's in/out etc? What's jevi etc?

How much time have you spent in the clubs and bars and I'm not talking about the "cuero" bars in Sosua? I'm talking about Santo Domingo and a lesser extent Santiago.

Do you know the major night spots in Santo Domingo?
Do you know what kids and teen's are wearing here and who's influencing them?

Maybe this might help better explain "Chopo" fashion for you.

I have no idea what you think you are

Macumba or Goal, I'm happy to party in both clubs.
Now and again I'll take a look in Copa, just see if the cueros have taken over yet.

I'm all over el28.com and it's doesn't get more chopo!!

A fairly normal bloke.
A bit of a vagabond at times but a good bloke nonetheless.

What about you?
King, at least in this kingdom, I think.....

Ok pedro, don't rub it in. We all get it, you are a rich dude who retired from fame at 30 and now dresses down to not attract attention from the locals. can I have your autograph so I can brag to my friends I know a rich and famous vagabundo from the 70's era? wait, I have you all wrong, you are a well known former reggeaton artist? What was your stage name, "el cara culo con flow"?

You are getting better - though I am not rich - let me make that clear!!!!

I was more '90s. Think electronica.

AZB,
Somebody once told me that you meet the same people on the way down as you do on the way up - so you had better be nice to them.


Nice sparring with you, buddy!

As I stated earlier, whatever blows your skirt up, Robert. I don't pretend to be as fashionably astute as you and Aftab. You guys obviously have a lock on fashion. There is no need to get defensive about it. You guys are the GQ of DR1.

I'm just saying, not everyone shares your opinion, and not everyone cares to attempt to live up to your obviously high standards. Some of us are quite content being simply who we are, and are not the least bit concerned about trying to impress others, either here in humble Sosua, or in the great big metropolis of SD.

fashion is for the young,I dont intend to mix with them in their clubs as I would look rather foolish whatever I was wearing......being an o.a.p

my picture of monica seems to have been deleted - my point was that you can not judge someone by the clothes they wear- not all tarts dress like tarts and vice versa.

I'm not getting defensive, I don't need to. If I ever felt like that, I would just erase your account, end of story. I'm just responding to your obvious dig at me.

I have never claimed to be a fashion expert, I would have thought that tag belonged to you, going by your posts and your insights into rich kids and their fashion etc.

The difference is David, I do actually live in SD and go out and socialize with Dominicans, so have an idea of what's going on. Which is more than some other individuels who like to think they know what's going on can say.

If you feel the need to take another shot at me, do it via PM.

Next....

I just want to make myself clear that I guess I was born a PC - open minded, not proprietary...able to hang out with the best as well as the ghetto...able to think by myself, not follow the cult leader's every word like gospel...oh and I don't go around saying "I'm the best and everyone else sucks". There u have it...

Also DV8 careful with what you say about Fefita...she's an icon of us puro cibaenos...hehe
