| ok, my first field report: yesterday i decided to go into college peacocked. for those of you not familier with english educational systems heres an explination: 5-11 you are in junior scholl, most of which have uniforms. 11-16 you are in high scholl, which is compulsery, and nearly all of them have uniforms. 16+ you are in college or have left education. most colleges have no uniform rules, so you can dress however you like. after 11 years of having to look like everyone else, alot of people peacock because thay can. here is what i was wearing: my normal trainers, cos i dont have a pair of peacocking shoes yet. dark blue jeans, that look pretty good. a tight fitting black tee shirt with designs on it, and a grey unbuttoned waistcoat. a necklace, which is a piece of leather with a razerblade and a small key on it, a pair of orange reflective shades and a white fedora. oh, and 4 rings and 2 braclets. on the bus i got into a convo with the AMOG, who asked why i was wearing the hat and shades. i explained that the hat was due to a bad hair day (i normaly gell my hair) and the shades where cheap and new and i didnt want to lose them before summer. he responded that i always had a bad hair day, and a blonde9 whos friends with both me and AMOG said that she liked my hair, and she thought the hat was nice. in class and at lunch there where girls wanting to try on my hat or shades, and getting pictures on their phones with the peacocking gear on, and with me, etc. also, it got people to open me rather than vice versa, so i now have more confidence in the effectiveness of peacocking, whereas before i was pretty nervous about it.
