Alright /fa/, this is going to be a more open thread, where you can ask any questiony and seek advice, but also where you can share anything vaguely /fa/ related, and possible expand your cultural horizon in any way.

Tldr: ask for advice and post any questions/thoughts/whatever you might wish to share.

in all honesty, i have a useless digital film and video degree. i however really enjoy photography and think my photographs are good enough to be displayed and purchased. what is the best way to go about this (start small coffee shop, or an urban art gallery with a portfolio?) hopefully someone has experience with this. you said anything, i guess it's relatively /fa/ related?

also pic related

Just today I read shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (something that is not widely spread in my country, as oppossed to America), and it was something i truly enjoyed and actually learned a lot from. I'm going to read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho soon. I have a lot of free time the next three months, and these are things I'd like to spend time on, and broaden my horizon on. I'd also like to read some good Sci-fi.
On a different note, and accidentally visited /iq/ (where they draw and get critique on it) and was really gripped by the talent of some of the posters. I think I'd like to start drawing.
Also, I've started listening to classical music and enjoy it tremendously, but I only really know of Phillip Glass and Ludovico Eunaudi and that polish composer whom I've forgot the name of (not counting in Mozart, Beethoven, etc.) I've also begun appreciating poetry and art a lot lately.
I guess I'm finally becoming a man.
If anybody can recommend further on any of the things I've written about, I would appreciate it a lot.

Okay, I have set my wardrobe up with all the basic stuff I can get, like some pretty high quality, but basic plain t-shirts and sweatshirts and such, but I truly feel a need to step up my game. In other words, I'm looking for a grail, but I don't really know where to start. As I said, I have some basic stuff on every part of clothing. I've got a pair of Nike Airmax 97 cvs which is the only thing slightly other than basic, and for that reason I've been thinking of getting another pair of to go with them, just more nextlevel. I'm thinking of getting the Y3 Qasa's (pic related), but I'd also like me something like Raf velcros or maybe go all out and get KVA's or something. Really not sure.

Yeah, getting your teeth bleached costs like 300 to 400 $ here, so I'd rather not do it unless I have no other choice. It's even off-white anymore, It's simply disgusting. It's probably because I started smoking (not regularly, just once in a while) and slacked a lot on brushing my teeth. Really dumb of me, I'm really dissattisfied withy my teeth at the moment.

You gotta maintain the duality of fashion, it being both beautiful and practical, for the most part. A scarf in summer isn't very practical, it reflects superficiality. A bandana/neck tie thing could work, as it works as a dam for sweat and dirt you'd be getting on you on a summer day.

Here I am looking for options/opinions on this shirt. It has been stored in my closet since my period of OH GOD I JUST WANT TO BUY SOMETHING FROM A DESIGNER >>> actual clothes. Anyway, I've ordered that damir shirt from a final sale, was disguisted by its fit but some time has passed and I've decided to give it another chance.

The question is: is it possible? I really like the fabric, but fit scared me a bit. It's an S, a bit large in shoulders but XS would be too small in chest. I can tailor it but since I have rather wide hips (too bad) I'm afraid it will give me a hourglass silhouette which I'd like to avoid. So, what to do? Wear as it is, tailor, burn/list somewhere?
I am going to wear it as it is or maybe with some kind of 1-button blazer from Rick or Plokhov, haven't bought one since it's not the season here, already too warm for their blazers.
