Remember the good ol’days when girls wore frilly dresses and boys wore suspenders? Well come back to the future, and look around you. BIIIG difference, don’t you think? Today, we have thousands of mini Brittany Spears running around with tight, and I mean dangerously tight, jeans. Thinking about it makes want shake my head in shame. It’s a bit funny when you get a peek at a girl’s soon-to-be potbelly. Now ladies, do we really want to show that?

And what about shirts these days? Either I’m hallucinating or are they shrinking in size? I know many people look all ‘perdy’ in these shirts, but there has to be a limit in skin showing. You can only go so far until people are asking, “is that a new bikini?”

Now that I’m finished attacking the female fashion, it’s time for the boys to get their fair share! The main problem? PANTS! Who knew a five-letter word could cause so much trouble. (Well I can name another but let’s get back to the subject.) The jeans are very nice, I must say, but must they be so…gravitationally challenged? This isn’t a game of how-low-can-your-pants-go. Okay, so we see your expensive jeans but does your ‘tightie whities’ really have to be in the picture? No siree bob! It’s not like I’m telling you to wear your pants Steve Urkel style (please don’t!) but the waistline of your pants doesn’t need to be dragging on the floor. So it wouldn’t hurt to pull the pants up just a little bit.

Since I am just a lowly writer expressing my opinions, my point of view might differ from yours. If you are offended by my beliefs just ignore my rambling and move on in life. However, if you consider yourself ‘fashion conscious’, please do realize that there are those out there like me that are ‘watching you’ and...yes, we are shaking our heads.
