Thanx for the info on the picture, Izzy goes around like any regular person, that must be so cool. Hey! Glad to see you too! I never actually left but it's usually so hard for me to find the time to write in here that I've been in stalk mode like forever! I miss this thread! 7 hours ago, Tori72 said: Yeah, in that IG post someone says he met Izzy there the same day and talked to him and that he’s a humble guy. Literally everyone who ever met Izzy says that about him. I love that. That is so odd...Izzy has always struck me as someone who would not be friendly, say if you miraculously ran into him in the street, but I guess appearances can be deceptive. Anywho, I think we should all chip in and buy this guy a new shirt! I mean, I know the loot was not split with him but come on!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I think he looks like he’d be unfriendly if you bother him but apparently he’s very friendly, talks with people and always always is described as humble. ❤️ Then goes and looks miserable in most fan pictures. lol That shirt! I hate it! Lol it’s so old man-like. Also I don’t like check patterns. Anyway, he does need his old clothes back! And his old hats!

Lio Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I bet he can go out a lot without being hassled. He looks like an ordinary middleaged man, so I doubt many would even recognize him. He dresses like an ordinary guy and is hardly ever in the news. It's been like 30 years that he's been in the spotlights. I really don't think anyone outside of diehard fans would recognize him, and if they do, most would leave him alone, I'd think. When I come across a celebrity, I never go up to talk to him. Unless it's Duff or anyone else in GNR I might go up to Izzy, but only because I'm a diehard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have more than 13 items? Somewhere I read that’s about what you can have. I wached You tube tutorials on that and decided I cannot even decide on so few colours.

I didn't count them but I got rid of all the things I have not wore in a year or so. And you can choose a palette if you want (because that makes it easier to combine items afterwards) but you could have different colors as well. It is not mandatory to pick just a few colors. A capsule wardrobe consists of one or two pieces of each item: 2 pants, 2 shirts, 2 or 3 jackets, 2 or 3 sweaters, 2 or 3 pairs of shoes, etc. Usually, when you own 10 pants, you wear only 2 or 3 of them, no one wears their entire wardrobe, that's why it is better to declutter.

Believe me you can when you start learning about this movement and get to understand what it really is about, you realize how much frenetic consumerism affects your life, how many useless things you own and how you can improve your finances by making conscious choices about your consumerism. It looks to me that Izzy doesn't own a lot of clothes and in general he seems to be a simple guy leading a simple life. That's the essence of minimalism. It's not only about clothes, it covers nutrition, finances, household, feelings, thoughts, it's a philosophy of life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since I’m here and still being the Izzy girl that I am: yesterday was a happy day because we got this pic from Izzy from April 6 this year. He’s alive, looking good, get’s well fed and still skates! Wowza! Somebody tell him to get his butt off a skateboard before he breaks something! I've missed you ladies!

Tori72 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Thanks killuridols! I love the minimalist idea and I am loosely living with it a few years now. Also because I don’t like stuff standing around and I like to see walls and space. So I don’t have too much furniture or stuff sitting around. I don’t have a huge wardrobe, but to be honest, I so wouldn’t mind! I love fashion and I love expressing things with it. Either the jeans and a tee expression as well other things. You know? So if I could I wouldn’t have capsule wardrobe but I do at the moment. I got rid of a lot of things because I kept changing my weight due to my pregnancies. lol. Now I would fit into my old things again but it is 10 years later anyway. So what I’m saying is, I don’t have much to wear at the moment because either it’s old and too big or - I don’t have it yet. lol So I guess I’m capsule wardrobing out of not being able to buy things at once. @soon why are you handwashing your clothes? What benefit other than meditation does it have? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use this bag that is a modern version of a wash board. It was originally invented for campers and travellers. I learned about it in one of the minimalism videos that @killuridols showed me. I like it primarily for ecological reasons, using no electricity, less water and way less detergent. I can get a small jar of concentrated wash liquid for $1 at the zero waste store and with the small drop needed to do a load it will last me months - huge savings! It saves me money that Id otherwise spend at the laundromat, too. And I like that it saves me the trip to the laundromat. Its gentler on the clothes too. It only fits a few items per load (5 tank tops for example), but it only takes 3 minutes so I can do a machine size wash quickly enough by doing a few bag fulls. And during this incredibly hot gardening season its nice to be able to wash my work clothes daily Its truly humbling to watch the water turn jet black. This model that I have isnt large enough for my bedding, and jeans are one at a time. But its perfect in other ways, like, I have dust mite allergies and Ive found that washing my pillow cases every other day has eased my allergies considerably! Yeah, as you can tell - Im really happy with this thing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awww, Im so glad I did something good for you ! Most people who turn to minimalism have a sad and ugly past of extreme consumerism , in my case, it borders hoarding and it all derives from a mental state of anxiety and stress. I wasn't one to buy loads of clothes or shoes, it was about (and it still is sometimes) getting obsessed with activities or things, like... make-up, tupperware, books, music, movies, shampoos, silverware, anything. I have periods of being obsessed with a certain topic and then I have to go and get all about it . At the same time, all these posesions gave me even more stress and anxiety. So it is a neverending cycle of buying stuff, new things, getting sad, throw them away and the cycle begins once again....... until I discovered minimalism and mindfulness.... and that was the beginning of my path to healing 6 hours ago, Tori72 said: Thanks killuridols!

It takes a long time to realize what's going on inside us when we are hoarders or people who spend a lot in useless shit..... Changing bad habits it is a long process of realization, adaptation, frustration, failure and resilience. What you say about expressing yourself through fashion, I totally get it! That's why I own loads of clothes that make no sense, or they don't combine. With minimalism, I learned that you can express yourself as well, but you also have to be honest with yourself.... do you REALLY like everything you have? Do you REALLY wear all of the items you collect? Or do you buy clothes just to collect them? For example, why have I collected GN'R tshirts? They are horrible and I wear them only for GN'R shows (which happens once in 20 years! )..... I need to reduce all of that and leave just one or two shirts. I don't need more than that and Im even thinking if I need a GN'R shirt at all! So, the point is.... minimalism tells you that you should LOVE/ADORE every item you own, if you don't then you don't need it and it won't make you happy. I did this exercise of checking up on all the items at home.... Do I love this mug? Why do I have 10 different mugs when I use only one for my daily coffe or tea? I came to the conclusion that I love/adore only 3 mugs out of the 10 that I have: one that was given to me by my dear friend, another one that I bought myself because I fell in love with it when I saw it and I still love it, and the other one made by a fabulous artist from my country, I love the drawing. All the rest are MEH to me and I dont use them. So.... they have to go. As for your clothes, that's great if you are now buying one item at a time, because that's the thing, that's the minimalism philosophy. Buying in bulk wastes your money, you have to make conscious choices. Your new wardrobe might take 2 or 3 years to complete, but by the end of the journey you will adore all of your clothes, you won't have second thoughts on them and they will last for a long time. 4 hours ago, soon said: I learned about it in one of the minimalism videos that @killuridols showed me.

I have not been able to find this bag in my country yet but it is one thing that I'D love to have...... In order to not waste water, electricity and soap, I have to wait for a week to collect all the dirty clothes and wash them all at once, but for that, I need MORE CLOTHES!! See? That's the trap, so I either own a few items or I have to do more than one laundry during the week, which derives into a bigger bill of water & energy. Anyway, since I became a minimalist, I dont waste money in plastic bags or plastic in general. I replaced household items for either wood or glass materials. Reduced my make-up items, shampoo bottles, I use bamboo toothbrush, and in general everytime I face a new purchase I take the time to analyze if I really need it and if I do, what's the best quality I can get for that item so it makes it durable and noble for a long time. ----- For anyone who wants to join the Minimalism philosofy of life, I can recommend you the book by Dominique Loreau: "L'art de la simplicité" (How to live more with less). Even though it is oriented to women, I think anyone can read it because the essence of it applies to any human being. It is a book that helps you open your eyes about why you're struggling with your posessions, your anxiety, and explores the soul to the deepest levels. I love it. It is written in a simple way, always to the point, you can finish it in 2 or 3 nights. Edited August 1, 2019 by killuridols 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori72 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I’m glad you overcame your life of hoarding things. I’ve never done that which is why I don’t go and just buy a lot of cheap new clothes. Anyway, I guess hoarding is about deciding to let go and to say „goodbye“? That’s what my armchair psychology makes out of it. Fear of regret, of feeling alone, making the wrong choices. I totally get that and I think it’s very relatable. Of course, it is not the things and stuff that we need, right? I’m sure it takes some realization to be able to let go of things. I’ve never been a hoarder. The only thing that I don’t need but cannot say goodbye to is my kids baby clothes. There’s only a bag for each of them, I started off with 3 bags each. lol. But I was able to give it away year after year. I’ll keep those few selected items and maybe maybe will see them on their babies one day. (Which makes me dizzy to even think of but I guess this is why I keep it. Also because I’m nostalgic and sentimental. ) So yeah, how did we start this? Izzy! I can imagine him very well to be more on the minimalistic side. I’m sure he owns a lot of more clothes than I do. But for a rockstar I think he lives somewhat profane. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that during band introductions Axl goes something like Gilby/Duff/Dizzy/Matt - and then there's a drum solo - did he introduce Slash at that time? I remember watching some (earlier? not sure) stuff where there's separate "half man, half beast" introduction, then guitar solo, but none of that in the stuff I've seen recently (except ocassional vid from usenet I'm watching them on YT, so they might be incomplete) Edited August 1, 2019 by Cass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
