lol I don't know why all this discussion!! Calm down people!!
I don't care what people say or think of me wearing LV or other designer stuff.... most of the times! But there are some times when I feel like wearing baggy pants and loose t-shirts and.... well, still look fabulous! lol The point is: even people who usually wear designer stuff, and LV in particular, might feel less confortable at some point. It might be because someone who you care said something not so nice about it, or because you looked in the mirror and thought "naa... not today! Let's give it a rest!"... About LV being gay... well, at first I think you should only listen to people with.. hmm, let's say "some knowledge" on the subject. Not because others don't know what they're talking about, but because who don't probably won't explain "why", and just say you look gay. I don't feel confortable with Azur, but love to see anyone who rocks it!
As an European i might not know how conservative your town is, but I'm from Portugal, and it is a lot behind too! The point is, when I listen to anyone, I listen to someone who explains why this or that doesn't look good on me.
Finnishing, two guys can wear the exact same bag in two absolutely different ways, "gayly talking". Just wear it the way that makes you feel confortable and, off course, GORGEOUS! Eheh!!
