This Is What My Hangovers Look Like

Lewis Carroll dreamed up Alice In Wonderland when he had migraine headaches. When I get one after a long night of drinking alone in my special "weeping closet", this photo is the only image that blazes into my brain. Over and over and over.

P.S. does anyone know the significance of the colors in boot laces? Like if it's red, you're a Nazi skinhead, and white if you're a non-Nazi (something like that)... Does having one black and one white laced boot have anything to do with the fact that it appears this man has fake tits?

bootlace code used to be big, at least in germany of the 1990s. Back then, red laces meant Antifascist, white laces meant nazi. then some punks noticed that white laces are a great way to piss off people, so they started to wear white laces. then there were some folks wearing green laces to show that they hate east germany, then the east german punks started wearing them as well to confuse the hell out of everybody - right now, you simply cannot tell one's political orientation by his bootlaces.
and i'd guess russia or eastern europe. we germans hardly read GQ magazine in kyrill... and: there is no harder or hotter party scene anywhere else in the world. And this looks like one hell of a party. (probably a relict of the one party system...)

i totally forgot about the "laces denote your political platform".... i have to check snopes, was that for real?

An ear-ring in your right ear means your gay. Left ear: You just like to have fun and be cool....

in poland code looks like this:
white laces - nazi
red laces - punk or smthn
black laces - somebody who don't want to change the laces (some 'non-punx' wear laces too) or anarchist
one white one black - antinazi (as i think, it comes from 'mixing white race and black race'.)

no, white laces means you're a neo nazi.

With those leggings and those boots, it looks like they're dressing up like the guys from A Clockwork Orange.
