Spandex should be outlawed. Have you wondered if people ever look at themselves in the mirror after they dress? I'm often appalled at how people appear in public, but most specifically those who wear spandex. Why do these people do this to themselves? It looks awful, hideous even. Every flaw you have is exposed to public view. Ladies and gentlemen, it ain't pretty.
Then there's the "shabby chic" look.....people pay money to "look" poor. Go figure. I've been trying to wrap my head around that logic for a long, long time.
Remember your Sunday best? Once upon a time we had a set of clothing, including shoes that were only worn on Sunday. It marked Sunday as a special day that was given only the best. Now the dress code has been abandoned. It's almost as if we're ashamed to look our best. Certainly we have renounced the Lord's Day as something out of the ordinary.
Even highly publicised events such as the Inaugural Ball, the Oscars, any upscale event, you have your tennis shoes with tuxedos and your jeans with a dress shirt and tie. These are people who, mind you, grew up and decided to play dress up and make believe for a living. Many of them dress the same way their characters in the movies do, and it's bizarre. Never mind the women, they're in a contest to see who can wear the least amount and get away with it. I thought there was a word for trying to sell yourself in a public forum. But, I digress.
Society is screaming it's insanity out loud and nobody is listening. There's no more display of self respect by the way one dresses and behaves in public. It's a lot like living in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
