And I have to give LA some slack. My time in Indiana has me convinced that the antichrist of fashion has released it's minions on the Midwest.

You look better in them than half of the single ladies who've never been pregnant do. And I just do not get the no underwear phenomenon. It completely mystifies me.

My baby doll dress is the only thing that I can wear post-maternity that actually hides the baby-belly and makes me feel like I've actually lost some of it (it's only been 5 weeks though)... although, mine at least comes down to my knees. So can we save the classier/longer baby doll dresses for us formerly pregger women? :-)<BR/>2. What about these cotton skirts that look like someone just ripped a sleeve off of her t-shirt and stretched it around her butt? I saw a woman's girl-alls when she was wearing one of these while 'oh so gracefully' climbing out of a Ford F-350. GROSS! Obviously she left her underoos at home.<BR/>~Casey<BR/>P.S.

And folks want to know why women like that whole metrosexual thing...it's because it was a much needed reprieve from "feet and butt".<BR/><BR/>And how sweet that you only have eyes for your wife.

And you wouldn't believe it, but nowadays we have to tell new teachers they can't wear flip flops to work. Would anyone wear those things on their first day of work at McKinsey? It makes me wonder, if folks raise their shoe game does respect follow?<BR/><BR/><B>Jameil,</B><BR/>What? A bikini top as a shirt? See, that's when we know there are too many drug addicts out there. And, you are absolutely right, folks should know their limitations. One of mine is that if I wore it the first time it was in style (leggings, mini-skirts), then chances are I don't need to wear it the second time it comes back around, twenty years later! Ok, now I feel old! :)<BR/><BR/><B>Shai,</B><BR/>Yeah, I hate when someone wears a bra with a lot of lace on it when they have on a t-shirt. Folks should know better than that if they were born before 1990. I know it has to be hard on your daughter. Walking through the teen section, the clothes are so tight, trampy, waay too much info. No mystery, no imagination at all.<BR/><BR/>Clearly, if I had a daughter I'd be trying to bundle her into some sort of Star Trek jumpsuit. <BR/><BR/><B>Miz JJ,</B><BR/>Yup, they sure are unflattering. If I put one of those things on, I look about twenty pounds heavier and like I haven't exercised since the dark ages. I know folks have got to see the look is not working when they're in the dressing room. But, it's like women have been brainwashed into buying it anyway, just to be in style. I just don't get it.<BR/><BR/><B>Noel,</B><BR/>That's why they're made for babies, the only people in the world who are even <I>remotely</I> cute when they're wide and short. ;)<BR/><BR/><B>NYC/CR,</B><BR/>No. Please say someone DID NOT do that! PJ bottoms?? Was there crack crust around their mouth? I hope so. I could accept that as a reasonable defense. But if they weren't high on something they shouldn't be smoking, then that's just the essence of vanity right there.

PUH-LEASE let's pass on the word that your bikini top does not double as a shirt for the next 8 hours you're awake. this bothers me anyway, but it's really annoying when you know you're not attractive that scantily clad. i agree women have to many body image issues, but KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS!!!jameil1922http://www.blogger.com/profile/02242625946552047911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-43824571513364644242007-08-22T11:25:00.000-07:002007-08-22T11:25:00.000-07:002007-08-22T11:25:00.000-07:00Yo, I love babydoll sundresses, no bra. I pressure my wife into wearing and buying them in the summer (ours was worse than yours here in DC). Luckily she wears invisible anti-perspirant.<BR/><BR/>Where did this explosion of flip flops and bared toes in general arise? When I was a teenager it was boatshoes and jack purcells for boys and maybe some jellies for girls. Men certainly didn't wear sandals (andthen it was 75 year old dudes with white socks) and women wore slutty candies and such, or hippie thongs. but that was it. Now its a uniform--crossing race and class lines. When I was a kindergartener in 1968 I saw my first pair of flip flops on my teacher at a summer orientation visit. Till then I'd only seen them on TV: on the Viet Cong and surfers.Christopher Chambershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16981041389119024155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-36151483276748266092007-08-22T10:32:00.000-07:002007-08-22T10:32:00.000-07:002007-08-22T10:32:00.000-07:00<B>Phillipe,</B><BR/>LOL! Last time I visited Boston, I could not understand what was being said around me half the time. I suppose it's so cold half the year that you don't even have to worry about seeing some of this clothing craziness for most of the year. I'll still be seeing it all in October when the Santa Ana winds hit. And thank you for leaving the thong at home. I'll hold you to that promise!<BR/><BR/><B>Gyamfua,</B><BR/>Oh, Indiana! I'll there in a week and, so I'll have to see if there's a comparison between here and LA.<BR/><BR/><B>Ian,</B><BR/>Oh, glad you use deodorant. I walk by some folks and they either have some sort of glandular dysfunction, or else they missed all those Sure and Right Guard commercials. And, I was just watching Amadeus last night so I don't know if, in comparison, we're showing as much cleavage as they did back then. You definitely would have gotten an eyeful if you'd lived back then too.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-2939990190932865882007-08-22T08:46:00.000-07:002007-08-22T08:46:00.000-07:002007-08-22T08:46:00.000-07:00This was hilarious, Liz. Of course, being a crass male, I like looking at 'them' when women bend over. I know I should be ashamed of myself.<BR/>But, my attitude is, if you dress that way, it's not my fault if I look. The other thing that strikes me these days is decolette. Everybody seems to feel they must show as much cleavage as possible. Again, please don't blame me if I don't look first at your eyes.<BR/>And, of course, the creme-de-la-creme must be polka dot panties under white cotton pants. Perfect ensemble.<BR/>By the way, I always use deodorant.Ian Lidsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14106994463366766471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-73538000507223281052007-08-22T06:29:00.000-07:002007-08-22T06:29:00.000-07:002007-08-22T06:29:00.000-07:00See Liz, I live in the 3 fattest city in the world...and I promise you, nothing you see in L.A. is worse then what you see at the Good Ole Indiana State Fair...The hicks and the hoes were out in full force and the clothes...OMG...and how fat people are here....OMG...it just amazes me...like I said...it would've been a totally different post if you were here...You would actually appreciate the dabautry of L.A.Gyamfuanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-52738642966925856732007-08-22T03:54:00.000-07:002007-08-22T03:54:00.000-07:002007-08-22T03:54:00.000-07:00This is why I'm glad I live in Boston and not Los Angeles, not that people here know how to dress any better but they do it with a BAAAHHHSTTON accent so it is more amusing.

I told them I guess I'd just have to be unfashionable. Sadly enough, I've had folks come for job interviews and they've worn low rise pants with the thong sticking out. Sigh. <BR/><BR/><B>Janie,</B><BR/>LOL! I think I secretly the baby doll dresses because I don't want anyone wondering if I'm preggers. And I'm probably just seeing way too many folks who truly cannot pull of baby doll dresses. It's like seeing folks in the skinny jeans trend, but they really need to be wearing the boot cut. You do your thing though if you can really rock it. ;0<BR/><BR/><B>Mamita,</B><BR/>Ugh, muffin tops...something that is easily preventable by either not wearing low rise jeans or else getting them in the correct size! I think folks could avoid those if they didn't get so caught up in wearing a certain size. If you wear a 12, just fess up and buy the 12, not the 8.
