My dream is to become someone like TK from Silly Thing. His job is basically being a professional know it all. He knows everything that's going on in Japan, HK, and Europe, has an extremely deep understanding of design and fashion. Basically he has a design firm and people hire him to make their stuff more cool, he does everything fashion design, styling, even advertising, car companies hire him to make their ads appeal to wealthy fashionistas. On top of it he has his own magazine where he writes about whatever he thinks is cool and his own store where he stocks whatever brands he likes. He also has his own fashion line which is composed entirely of collaborations with other people. Ultra cool brands just approach him for a collaboration and that's how he puts out his own designs, through other peoples really dope labels. He knows absolutely everyone in fashion and people work with him for that reason alone.

That's exactly what I kind of want to do but I have to start by getting a twitter and blog and shit and reaching out to people and really developing an online presence which I don't really have. Maybe it's time to leave 4chan, I've been posting so much lately maybe because I feel guilty about it. This site has given me so much and I feel like I need to pay it back before I finally ditch. I don't see how I can continue to share myself as candidly once I start working for real companies and am totally inside the machine. Not to mention all the writing I do could be going on a real blog and getting me the attention of magazine editors and legit companies, instead of helping a handful of people on 4chan and then dissipating into the ether.

Heattech is the only Uniqlo I will touch, everything else feels pretty cheap but I think due to the nature of the Heattech fabric they can't really cheapen it or anything, it's been the same formula for 5+ years now and I don't see it changing any time soon. Where as everywhere else I feel the quality has kind of dropped (but already sucked to begin with anyway) +J was actually pretty nice but that's long gone.

Heattech though has stayed the same and that's why I still buy it.

You can wash it and put it in the dryer and it wont shrink or get distorted or static-y which is a big deal for cheap basics. Also I can't speak for all the different colours and patterns but the black does not fade at all. Heattech T's are the blackest black I can find and on top of it does not fade in the least. I actually don't even wear them properly (tight fitting and underneath your regular clothes) I size up x2 on the T's and L/S's and wear them by themselves year round. They don't really work as intended like this (unless you put a form fitting shirt / sweater / hoody over top in which case they compress and do work a bit more like they're supposed to) but I love the cut, fit, ease of laundering, and lack of fading so much that I don't care.

I also love the waffle heattech, it does fade a bit but the texture more than makes up for it. Still launders extremely well and I can't find a better waffle knit anywhere else at that price. Also size up x2 on these and wear them year round.

The only thing I actually wear "properly" from the line are the long johns which I get true to size and wear pretty much every day of the winter. They're dynamite, have just the right amount of heat retention and don't make you overheat like a lot of thermal leggings that are a usually a crazy overkill for just walking around and meant more for skiing or something.
