Signature Style: touchofintuition

"Signature Style" puts the fashion spotlight on "regular" gay men across the country, because we want to see your style! Today, touchofintuition shows off his look.

Touchofintuition_1 Describe the sensation you get after you make a killer find.
Disappointed, usually - because it's typically either a.) out of my budget range, or b.) it's too big to fit! Lately, even x-tra small is a bit too loose for my taste. I prefer a super snug wardrobe. However, when I do find that perfect piece that makes me go "OMG - WTF - THAT'S HOT!" and if it's TRULY an x-tra small, and within my budget; then I feel absolutely overwhelmed with unspeakable joy :-)

Do you put a lot of effort into selecting the perfect underwear?
Honestly, I really don't - and I usually catch a lot of heat for this, because all of my friends seem to go gaga over a hot pair of skivvies. I simply can't bring myself to obsess over the part of the outfit that's seen least by others . . .

Are you a product junkie?
I prefer to refer to my collection of products as my "condiments, and embellishments," because I view myself as a food item, and a scrap book page! Ha. And YES! I absolutely am a product junkie, keeping in mind that I don't only refer to hair styling equipment as product. My "smell goods," fragrances, makeup, accessories (embellishments) all fall within that category as well.

Touchofintuition_3 Where do you shop?
I tend to follow the sales.

Do you tend to be attracted to men with style similar to yours? Or the exact opposite?
I find myself to be attracted to men of a wide range of styles; from emo - to uber trendy, absolutely everything in between.

Is there a particular accessory you can't live without?
Stunna Shades (aviators). In a WIDE array of bold and bright colours - neon green, pink, purple, red...
Lately, I've been on a quest for peace (you can read more about that on my profile). And sometimes I forget that peace, for a large part, can be found within ourselves - so, as a reminder, I wear a wooden peace sign around my neck. Whenever I feel that things are getting a bit topsy-turvy, I hold my hand over my peace symbol, and whisper the word "peace," and then peace comes :-)
My collection of accessories is as colourful as it is large! I feel that one's accessories should reflect something about them. I have a very colourful personality, and adore attention (I'm a Leo); therefore, my accessories (and wardrobe) are very very colourful.

Touchofintuition_2 Where do you get your style information? People on the street? Mags? Celebs?
I draw inspiration from nearly every medium.

What are your three favorite articles of clothing and why?
My neon green flip flops. They look fierce when I wear my purple stunna shades!
My zip-up hoodie. Because it's form-fitting, and keeps me toasty when there's a chill in the air.
My cerulean v-neck from American Eagle (are we allowed to mention brand names?) - because it compliments my eyes very nicely.

Is there one person you tend to go shopping with more than anyone else? Why?
MYSELF! I don't like to be rushed, and I find shopping alone is very therapeutic ... I also like to listen to my mp3 player while browsing. My music (usually ABBA or Beyonce) gives me the divine inspiration I need to pick out the perfect pieces for the wardrobe :-)

Touchofintuition_4 If you want to go out and get attention, do you have one foolproof outfit that does the trick?
Absolutely: The blue v-neck, with tons of coloured wrist bands, a pair of gripping jeans that accentuate the junk in my trunk (and trust - there's a lot to accentuate) .. my neon green flips, and my green stunna shades (they glow really brightly under black light)!

Are you environmentally conscious when you purchase clothing?
Not really, altho - I do have a lot of green in my wardrobe! Does that count?

When buying shoes and clothing, is comfort or style more important?
Style. But comfort is definitely very very important. If you're savvy enough, you can have the best of both worlds!
