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?
Too late-it is already happening...
One time when I visited/spent time with my guy in the city we were at Walmart getting steak and veggies to cook for dinner-there was a woman in what were obviously PJs and a pair of flip flops wandering through the aisles putting items into her cart-it was just after noon...
When I said I had never seen such a thing, he just shrugged and said he has seen that several times. At least people out here in the boonies don’t wear PJs in public-yet...
Like I said...’depressing’. We allowed the freaks to define deviancy down.
Jerry Seinfeld on his show “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” was in his car with friend George Wallace in Las Vegas and was looking over the people walking around and made a comment about “when did it become ok for men to wear short pants?”
