Sitting here watching tv and a commercial for Project Runway comes on.   This guy is on there getting all excited because OMG Bob Mackey is gonna be on there.   I’m thinking big deal.   If I was a fashion designer on Project Runway I’d want to meet Tommy Hilfiger, he slapped some red, white and blue tag on jeans and makes a ton a money.   Oh, the person who created Aeropostale, that would be a good one.   Took jeans, t-shirts, and sweatshirts, gave them ragged edges, holes, and the Aeropostale tag and is making a buttload of money.   Those are the people I’d be excited to meet.   They make money on stuff that’s already been created.

It’s odd how that works, ya know?   My niece took a pair of her worn jeans, cut them off at the knee, ripped the sides a bit and threaded ribbon to tie it back together, took some puff paint and decorated them.   She wore them to school and half the school demanded to know where she bought them and what brand name were they.

Oh did hear some news on a side note….not sure if it’s good news or bad.   I hear tell the stirrup pant is going to make a comeback.   On the one side, they did go good with boots.   Were quite comfortable with a long sweater/sweatshirt, scrunch socks and boots.   On the other side though, they did tend to make your legs look weird.   LOL

What is wrong with people?? What happened to originality? What happened to being unique? It was just on the news that since Palin hit the scenes everyone is wanting glasses just like she wears. The woman they interviewed works at an eye glass center and she said that the phone has been ringing off the hook everyone asking if they have the Sarah Palin glasses. Oddly enough the woman being interviewed was not only wearing the glasses, but her hair oddly resembled Palin’s too.

Why do we feel this huge need to wear what people on tv are wearing? I know this is nothing new, it’s been around for eons. In the 80s, Madonna hit the scene in her Like a Virgin video and suddenly ever girl was dressing like Madonna. Then came MC Hammer and the hammer pants (thank you God those didn’t last).

It’s really sad when the people we tend to look up to are on television and not the teachers who educate us, the ministers, preachers, and priests who pray for us, the police who try to protect us, the doctors and nurses who work to save us.

Yesterday afternoon I’m on the way into wal-mart for hair nets for my 81 year old neighbor. I get to the door and here comes this guy and girl. Probably aged around 18-23…maybe. So damned hard to tell these days. Anyways, she’s dressed in one of them school girl outfits that you normally see in seedy strip clubs and adult costume shops. The skirt was so short it was ridiculous. So she comes out the door as I get to the door and the skirt flies up and there is her turquoise drawers. Did she appear embarassed? NO What I want to know is what the hell was she thinking?

Well summer is almost upon us, warm weather keeps sneaking in and it’s already starting to happen. Your asking, “What’s Happening?”. The hinnie phenomenon! Lord help us…please!

I’m sitting in a Doctor’s office yesterday and this woman comes in with 2 children. She’s dressed in a cotton t-shirt and cotton shorts. First off, unless your under a size 12, cotton shorts stretch out and they just don’t look good, so just avoid them, please. But that wasn’t the worst part of it, it was the length of the shorts. Her hinnie was on the verge of hanging out for all to see.

Now I know with hot weather coming along people are going to be trying to stay cool. All I’m asking is that you do it with a little class and a little thought for your fellow people. There are beaches, pools, lakes, etc where you can go and cool off and it is generally exceptable to pretty much let it all hang out, but let’s keep it to those places? I do not need to go to the grocery and see your butt.

Hold on Guys, your not off the hook here either. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a finely toned chest on display, I even find a slightly untoned chest and tummy rather nice to look at, but look in a mirror before you go outside! If it’s pasty white and looks like unbaked bread dough, put your shirt back on. If you could pass for a grizzly bear, put the shirt back on. I know there are women out there who love a hairy man, but not every woman does so be kind to those who don’t. If you have a size 50 beer gut hanging over your jeans, put the shirt back on and put down the beer. If you have a jungle of armpit hair….consider doing something unmanly. lol Yes, dehair them. (That wasn’t an earthquake, that was a thousand men reading this and falling off their chair in shock and outrage)

So please please give some thought to what your wearing this summer and be kind to your neighbors. Keep your butt cheeks firmly inside your shorts, your boobage inside your shirt, keep the bread dough hidden, and the hair under cover.

I do this every day. I get dressed, go in front of the full length mirror. I look from the front, the side and over my shoulder at the back before I step out the door. I make sure everything that should be covered is covered and that I’m not going to scare small children or cause a wreck. Please do the same for me.
