YO ALL (Southern for you all) are probably too young to remember; but a female never left the hose before putting on her underwear, clothes, shoes, and her face (make-up), have her hair neatly arranged. Today-in place of girdles, bra, hosiery and corsets and under slips; concealed and concealing the major parts of her body, we have females not leaving home without bosoms, upper arms and shoulders, belly and butt cracks fully exposed, bra straps now showing on purpose, panty lines showing (if these garments are even worn) and see through outer garments, their feet bare, and big toes sticking out of frumpy shoes, flipping unkempt, untidy hair. Some look really good this way, most---not so much! (me included, otherwise I could not say anything right?) GO FIGURE!
Why do women's clothes cost so much now, there is no fabric, they are really skimpy, except for the overblown extra sized tee shirts worn over short shorts. And when did big painted toes become sexy? GO FIGURE!
And the male of the species? OH boy!
Olden days: Shirts (usually white or stripped) ties, dress trousers, (over the hips!) jackets, maybe a vest. Undershirts and undershorts that were smooth underneath the clothes, also hidden .Socks, nice shoes, maybe a hat. Nice hair cut, clean shaven, or neatly trimmed facial hair, and nose hair. GO FIGURE!
Today: over-sized tee-shirts (they look like undershirts that have been dyed) personality shirts with cuss words and obscenities, and nasty pictures. Shorts that look like the guys outgrew their long pants, or the very chic jeans and khakis worn at the point of the hips, manhood threatening belt somewhere in the pelvic region, pant legs long enough to walk on, no socks or shoes needed, just walk on the pant legs .Yet the accessory for this outfit is usually a very expensive pair of Adidas or Nikki's, usually no socks, or white ones .You also get a full frontal and rear view of crazy patterned undershorts. This ensemble is usually topped off with an over-sized shot sleeved shirt or the traditional funky bawdy tee shirt or sweat shirt. GO FIGURE!
I have always wondered-How do they use their pants fly, so far below the target area? Please don't get back to me on that! I'll just use my imagination. And then, of course, we have the male cleavage-- the treasured Male Butt Crack frothily framed in his undershorts' elastic band! Sandals and shoes with no socks. And after their fathers rebelled and fought to wear their hair long, this generation shaves all that beautiful hair off, or builds mountain peaks in the middle of their heads , then of course, what's with the three day stubble bearded look, either beard it or shave please. GO FIGURE!
Don't even start with the kids going to school. Whether uniforms or street clothes, 80% of the public school kids look like they slept in their clothes-don't know what a brush or comb is and looks like they are going to the last place on earth they want to be! Sad----- GO FIGURE!
In California, Oh Boy, Ca. casual and office casual would make a ditch digger look like a fashion plate. GO FIGURE!
All I am saying is; Casual is cool and very TODAY. I love casual, BUT, what happened to good taste and the manners not to inflict your embarrassing attire on everyone else. What happened to good grooming, neat clean appearance, when at school or work? If you look your best, you do your best. You attract the best. GO FIGURE!
Let us put a little best back into our society! GO FIGURE!
p.s millions of dollars are spent on grooming aids each year, maybe even billions, but where did the grooming go? GO FIGURE!
