It's depressing and I'm a woman. I'm not talking about bikinis but I am talking about the shamoo the whales walking around. In the 80s and 90s, fashion had made a comeback. I worked in an office all those years and we dressed in suits, dresses and skirts and everyone looked nice. When we wore jeans they were 'designer' and looked good. The men were generally in jeans but with dress shirts tucked in and nice shoes. People were visually appealing.

Yesterday, I went to the Dollar General and there was some guy from one of the chip companies stocking the rack. His freakin' pants were drooping and when he bent over (which I was soooo lucky to see) 3 inches of his butt crack showed. What company would hire someone who dresses like a thug wannabe? Then I went to the market and the guy in charge of the produce was busy with the vegetables and HIS pants were sagging below his waist and the guy is like 55 years old. And it's all so depressing. There's no joy anymore; no beauty. This is the world the leftists nutjobs have constructed for us. /rant

I tried to explain to a young person not long ago how people used to dress in the Las Vegas casinos in the 1960s. The fun was to play make believe you were rich and painting the town red in Monte Carlo. Men wore suits or sport coats and ties at the least. Women wore gowns. I explained how people in Vegas today just have shorts and sandals with white socks, T-tops, what have you.

Completely lost. I was like talking to a cat. He just had no comprehension that appearance could matter. Comfort and individuality are everything.

What’s next, wearing PJs to weddings and funerals?

Late reply, but here goes:

Try out any of the Asian or Latin countries (Europe or S America) if you want to see female beauty standards still in force (enforced).

No fat chicks in Paris, that's for sure. Nor in Lima or Buenos Aires or Hong Kong. Paris is a trip - teenage girls learn how to smoke and hang out at the cafes. 20-30 something are always stylish and attractive.

And it ain't the men doing the enforcing - it's the other women. I've watched them watch others - it's a high pressure, low tolerance social set up.
