I look goooooood in black

I really do. Apparently I'm a "winter". I don't exactly know what that even really means. For instance, in the season 2 Buffy episode "What's My Line" (actually a two-part episode), Cordelia claims to be both a winter and a summer. If I knew my shit about the whole skin/hair/color matrix I'd know whether this was even possible.

Where was I? Oh yeah, anyhow, I do look good in black. I'd wear more black, but then you get the rep of being either "goth" or "arty", neither of which are bad, but neither of them particularly fit me, so I throw in some other colors.

Like Grey... in various shades.

Anyhow, inspired by Bec's post about her obsessive-compulsive (just kidding, Bec) matching of bras and panties, I started thinking about my boxers and shorts combos. And I suddenly had a question:

If I look so good in black, how come I look so damn silly when I'm naked except for black socks? If I wear just white socks, then it's fine. It looks like I just haven't gotten around to the socks yet, or maybe the floor is cold and I'm being practical (the cold would be indicated by shrinkage). But black socks, well, you really just have to laugh, and that's not the reaction I like when I'm naked unless I'm doing a nudist comedy routine or if laughing really, really makes your really horny regardless of the source of the laughter. And even then, I'm just putting up with it because it might get me laid.

So, apparently I look good in black, but my calves do not.
