Grovesner Terrace, 19.45, Sunday Night

i spot
two guys, 'modern men' in their liberal use of product and fake tan. identically styled brunette hair, flopping sige fringe, spiked back.
the uniform - plimsolls come deck shoes, one pair navy, one pair white. trousers turned up to mid shin, one pair denim skinny fit with low waist, one matt black silk harem style. two loose fitting, low + wide v-neck tops, mixed cotton one cream one navy, slightly turned up sleave to reveal a bulging tanned bicep. each in possession of a loose fitting hooded top.

i look down.

me - cream plimsolls, loose skinny jeans turned up to mid shin, sitting low on the waist, baggy low + wide v - neck mixed cotton white tee, one roll in each sleave (not to expose my bulging biceps), grey hooded top, undone, hood up.

so, apparently it took less than a year for me to become fully acclimitised to male, jesmond semi rah culture.
still on the upside, it's preferable to uggs, gilets and fake tan.
