Apple Store London-The WEIRD Dude.

[MentalFabric]

Ok, just about recovered from the weekend! The atmosphere of the whole Opening was way more than I expected. Had I known, I'd probably have turned up earlier than about 5am on Saturday. A lot of people were taking photos of me, so I'm trying to collect copies of them, if you have any/have seen any around please let me know where to find them!

Photos from Foeniox's phone/Apple photographer of us below:
The Policeman's hat I'm wearing actually belonged to one of the police, I thought it would be amusing to play with him On my exit from the store, a policewoman said she thought I was a celebrity because so many people were taking my picture :-D
The photo on the bottom left is the one on the Apple website.

 

[MentalFabric]

C'mon, surely someone here has some photos - Some people there even agreed to email me the photos they took, which hasn't happened

Sigh…

the photo (attached) was on the grand opening gallery page, but after a few days they changed the file name to "happy_couple.jpg" and when we phone to complain that we're not a couple and felt that was slightly homophobic they took the photo down Apple called me gay!

 

[mkrishnan]

Wait...so the original name of the file was goths.jpg, and then it became happy_couple? I don't understand how that's homophobic, but I can understand how it would make you feel uncomfortable. Well, you *are* a happy couple...of iPodders!

Aren't you fishing for some sort of reaction like that?

Yeah

I don't understand how that's homophobic, but I can understand how it would make you feel uncomfortable. Well, you *are* a happy couple...of iPodders!

homophobic in that it seemed intended in a negative manner ie: "you're gay!"
We are a happy couple of iPodders I suppose for the photo they gave us apple in-ear headphones to wear

I don't understand, in what am I fishing for some sort of reaction?

In the way you present yourself. It seems to me anyone who dresses like that wants to be recognized as out of the normal; this seems like a reaction you try to get.

i don't mean to insult you or anything but if i just stumbled on that picture without having seen your post i would have assumed you to be female. it might be just how the picture was taken, i don't know, but i can easily see how someone at apple would label the picture "happy couple".

That doesn't make any sense, I dress to express myself and I wear what I think looks good. You don't seriously think I'd dress in a way I consider to be weird or ugly just to get peoples attention? Open your mind! Some people just have different taste.

I get that a lot. But I kinda like being able to be mistaken for a girl, they're so much prettier

Thank you

All gay and fem chatter aside, that's one RIGHTEOUS trench. My daughter would kill for that.

Not judgemental, are we?

If you're so against this "seeking of attention" you believe he is doing, why are you giving him so much of it?

I'm a bit confused on exactly who is the one seeking the attention.

Why express yourself in that way if not to get noticed?
