Oh, lord, Lost Soul...that is...that IS pretty stupid.  I wonder how she came up with the idea for that?  I remember a long time ago, seeing an advertisement for an "Ankle Ruffle" that sold for $10.  It was supposed to call attention to your legs and make them look more sensual.  It was a scrunchie.  The kind you get 4 for a dollar at the drug store.  Maybe it was invented by the same girl.


I'm still sticking with pants around the ass on guys. That just looks stupid.  And for heavens sake, I've seen two different white guys with their caps pulled to the side this week.  Do rappers even DO that anymore?  That's so 90s!

Bumpits.  Don't do it.  Maybe if you're going in costume to a Star Trek convention or doing a Mad Men look from top to toe..but really now.  At the 99 cent store?  In jeans?  No no no.

Girls with combovers.

There seems to be an army of young girls sporting the most bizarre Trump/Scargill/Peppermint Patty hairdos with the parting starting just above the ear and the fringe sweeping straight across the forehead.
I presume it's suppose to look all natural and carefree as if they've just swept their lovely locks out of their eyes as they gambol across a golden field in slow motion but they all just end up looking like their paedo uncles. All they need now is a gravy stained vest, some polyester trousers and grey PVC slip-on shoes.

I must also point out tiny hipster hats on fat men.  Really now, nothing makes you look like more of a pinhead that having something bring your head to a point.

I don't much see the virtue in emulating someone who's been in the nick.

Mind you by the same token, I've never much cared for any fashion 'excess'. 70's flares or trousers halfway up to your armpits from earlier times are far from flattering on many figures.

On the subject of jeans why do manufacturers size their strides for blokes with cocktail sticks for legs?

Normal trousers are not a problem, apart from the usual two or three inches I have to lop off the bottom (I think shops assume anyone under 5'7" is a midget).

I do actually have cocktail sticks for legs and I can assure you that I have no less trouble than your good self trying to find jeans of a suitable cut.

I have no desire to expose my pubic hair, wear cowboy boots or look 'distressed', thus I have difficulty finding pantalon de Nimes.

You'd think so wouldn't you? I mean, surely the whole point of numbering the jeans is that you then know which cut and style to go for?
Unfortunately, the muppets at Levi's take it upon themselves to alter the cut whenever they fancy , hence 501's no longer fit me. They are now lower and skinnier.

There were other Levi jeans that had a button fly. The ones I used to get had a button fly, and they weren't 501's.

Don't Levi do a red tab line which is based on a vintage cut? Or have they buggered about with that too.

I just had to check out "hose for toes" and I gotta admit they are pretty lame! But they can serve a good prupose for the gal that has ugly toes and/or toenails.
