Putting Gravy on the Dressing Page 2
By Anthony Douglas Gere
But maybe the Marilyn wants to be something else, or even is, but is more comfortable in how
she displays what she is proud of. I goes back to me in business. To gather information and to
get into certain doors, I played the part and acted a certain way to get what I needed, not just
wanted. Maybe this women is looking for someone who can see beyond that, or appreciate the
statement she is making. I know men that drive hundred thousand dollar cars, but their credit is
shot, rent a slummed out apartment and it would be hard to know it unless you really know
them. They bring the women they want to impress to my house, or do tricky things to
manipulate their insecure needs. But are they fake, or wanting to get somewhere and not
knowing how? Its a vicious cycle, and only when you stop inside of the tornado, can you see
what is revolving around you. I know when I was playing the playboy life it was fun and exciting,
but dam was it a job in its self, and extremely tiring. I wasted so much time, but gathered a lot
of knowledge in the process, so I guess it served its purpose. As many of you know, I honestly
don't think my looks are my strong suit, so I developed other areas like dressing and
mannerisms to make up for the shortcomings I feel and felt I had. I hated being known as a
jock, and was happy when I got hurt and couldn't play basketball anymore in many ways. But
the problem is, I'm still black, six foot six and have a finely tunes body that screams to the
world, ex athlete. So that costume is definitely permanent, and something I have to get over
one day.
There are some things I don't understand and totally make no sense to me on some forms
of expression. I think tattoos are cool in a way, but only to signify something of importance.
I mean people that put their name on their arms, makes no sense to me. I mean what, do
they forget it when someone asked them their name, or need a constant reminder on how
to spell it? I guess in the areas I work in, things like body art and piercing are taboos.
Even earring {that I wear}, are considered edgy and rebellious. But having them on your
tongue, eye lids and navel, blows me away. I mean what does it mean, represent and if
its not a big deal, why get it? I broke up with a girl once for getting a nose ring. I'm
not saying that's right, but we were getting serious, and how would she look around
professionals that would look at her and me in a light I have worked my entire life to
turn off. I mean when you're young, you go through phases and think you're going to
live forever. But as you mature, you realize how difficult life is in a perfect world, and
you don't wanna close any doors if you don't have to. But then again, its all about
perspectives, and the crowd you want to be identified with. Its the same with music.
Many think because I'm black, I only listen to r&b or hip hop. I do love that type of
music, but I grew up on classic rock and love smooth grooving jazz. I enjoy it because
it creates a vibe for me to be productive in, and delivers a message that is
universally imaginable. I enjoy the versatility in appreciating all types of music,
because it connects me to a world that I may one day visit or need top have knowledge
of. And we all know, we can never know enough.
Now defining the difference in those that are the part, dress the part and play they part
is pretty much simple, if you notice the little things. Like those that carry backpacks,
messenger bags and things that they obviously need more hands to carry, damage
or wrinkle their clothes in the process. If you look at a true business man, or
someone well organized and comfortable in delegating authority, they have limited
bags, or holding a brief case by their side. They have arranged for the papers or
documents they need to be sent or there where they need them. You will rarely see
them fumbling through papers, or boggled down with bags like a bell man. But
their are exceptions, and though this theory was shown to me, doesn't make things
right or wrong, just an observation. Looks can be very deceiving, and I for one know
that. I have a rare skin condition where as I bruise very easy. Now its nothing
noticeable to many, but I form calluses very easy and must see a dermatologist
weekly. If you seen me or shook my hand, you would think I worked construction or
some sort of manual labor, but obviously that's not the case. Don't get me wrong,
I've gotten my hands dirty plenty of times, but prefer using the brain instead of brawn.
Longevity and income are to blame {smile}. But seriously, to be comfortable enough
within myself and how I want to be portrayed, comes with these weekly sessions and
more, to smooth out my hands as much as possible. But why does it matter. Why do
we work so hard to display a certain image when we as people should know who we
really are? Is it low self esteem? Halloween everyday or out of expectations and habit
placed by society? Maybe it is important to do the things necessary to be what we
want, and generate a drive to constantly reach that level of perception, whatever
it is or maybe to the world and self. I mean women put on make up, get augmentations
and such. As does men with hair transplants, wear platform shoes for height and
girdles to hide things not wanting to be seen. So it shouldn't really matter what we
wear, how we wear it and why should it? I mean its confusing enough to deal with the
real you. Maybe its easier to deal with multiple images, when you're putting gravy
on how you and the world are dressing -
