Oh Kittenb!! You lucky, lucky woman! I REALLY wanted to see Duran Duran but just couldn't afford it. Breaks my heart Don't want to derail the thread but was the concert good?

A fanny pack - WTF?!? Who actually puts on one of those, looks in a mirror and says "yeah, this is it?" Ditto for the peach headband/bitch bow combo. I wore a bitch bow once - as part of my Halloween costume. This does not function IRL.

Duran Duran concert last night and the crimes! they were a'plenty!

The crimes seemed to veer between trying too hard and not trying hard enough.

Ex. trying to hard: Tee-shirt, belted over cut hem denim mini that did unfortunate things to her ass, w/black leggings and checked Vans, with a peach ruffled headband w/bow!

Ex. not trying hard enough: Baggy pink cotton pants that were both high-waisted and tapered legs and at least one size too big, baggy tee-shirt and a fanny pack!

Both outfits came w/the requisit haircut that was dyed blonde, cut straight just past the shoulders w/ straight-cut but poufed bangs. I don't know how else to explain it but it makes everyone's head look like a flat, spiral permed, rectangle.

Come on ladies! Just because you are seeing a band that started in the '80's does not mean that you get to dress in the same clothes you wore then.

I was getting to the point that I wanted to thank every woman who looked well put together.

i know i'm going back a couple days here, but fj, those pants are the very strangest things i've seen in a very long time.

doodle, i hear ya. i'm a big girl too, and i refuse to leave my house in sweats/jammie pants or without a bra cuz it just looks sloppy and i refuse to fit the stereotype of fat and sloppy. i think the only time i've left my house in jammies in 5 years i was going to the er!

as long as i'm here.... i saw one of the things i hate the most yesterday. a woman wearing shorts made of cut-off sweats that were wedged up her crotch but long on the sides. i always just want to go up to people like that and tug their pants back into place. argh!

[auralpoison]

wai-wai-wai-wai-waaait...WHAAAAT?
are these for REAL?

Those pants are traveling pants! You put your cellphone, keys, wallet, etc. in there so you don't get pickpocketed. And I bet you could tuck a couple changes of clothes down there, too. Extra pair o' kicks maybe.

Yesterday, bus ride....oh lordessa....

Now I just want to preface this by saying I work in a plus size clothing shop. I believe plus-sized women are beautiful, and helping them look good and feel good is what I do. But why are there so many who won't wear a frigging BRA???? It's just undignified.

Anyway, seen on the bus: plus-size woman, wearing a baggy, faded, mauve tank top, which rode up at the top of her jeans, the kind of jeans that came all the way up to the top of her belly, almost right under her braless boobs. Low hanging boobs. Kind of like mine, which are getting old, I'll admit, but I wear a really GOOD BRA, dammit. Then she kept rubbing her hand down underneath her tank top, in between her breasts. I think she was even rubbing her hand underneath her boobs, maybe to wipe away the sweat. Hello? It wasn't hot - I was wearing a cardigan with my tank top. And yeah, maybe if you lifted those boobs up with a GOOD BRA, they wouldn't get so sweaty underneath. Need I mention that her 2 kids were running kind of wild when I boarded the bus? No, I'm sure I need not.

She was fairly young and pretty, too, in a pale, freckled, strawberry blonde way. I wanted to haul her right to the store I work in, fit her for a GOOD BRA, find her some decent clothes, and give her a little mascara and lipgloss.

white mesh mary jane type shoes. White pants. She looks like a swiffer.

Hellotampon, ewwww!

[hellotampon]

and hellotampon- seriously??

seriously.

[shinyx3]

wow! that is all I can say. I mean . . . well, wow!

[freckleface7]

if those came in blue they'd make you a dead ringer for a oompa loompa.
( & imagine if the wearer were even slightly bow-legged?!)

I cannnot stand the feeling of my pantyhose slipping down- ack !

and hellotampon- seriously??

[hellotampon]

I think I'm going to call them casino pants. My friend works at the casino and she's seen people who don't want to leave their slot machines, so they piss and shit themselves rather than go to the restroom.

[pherber]

This thread has amused for years now, and it has now reached an all time low in utterly revolting CoFs.

The dangling crotches!?!? I mean this almost belongs in the "grody gross out" thread!
I thought this cannot EVER be topped, but, of course the shit filled nappy leggings..

Now the two things kind of merge in my mind, imagine the leggings worn with the unsnapped crotch thing.
That would make such a great Helloween costume!

[mornington]

but... but... it looks like the model is wearing a nappy! a full one...

[hellotampon]

well, good. Maybe short legs will become stylish (isn't it fucked up that physical characteristics go in and out of style?) and then my body will finally conform to something and it will be easy to find clothes! Or I guess I could wait for flat butts, big boobs, and flabby stomachs to be "in." haha.

[culturehandy]

I'm not even sure what to say. I'm too busy being dumbfounded. I'm sitting here slack jawed.

what's even worse is that someone out there is going to pay $82.00 for leggings that look like they've been pooped in. Classy.

[llamas]

Wha? I'm so confused. I thought one of the main goals when wearing tights and leggings was to keep the crotch from ending up around your knees!

Makes the guy I saw last night with a Def Leppard t-shirt tucked into tight almost-white faded jeans and a bleach blonde mullet seem almost logical.

[falljackets]

wai-wai-wai-wai-waaait...WHAAAAT?
are these for REAL?

[sixelacat]

Remember those ballet style scoop neck long sleeve tops that had snap crotches like onesies? Popular early to mid-ninties? Right. Those.

Driving through a local business district at lunchtime today: woman in her late 20's/early 30's wearing above mentioned top in white over some black pants. But when I say over, I mean over, with the crotch unsnapped so she's got a long dangling piece in front and back. WTF?! I couldn't even tell you anything else about her "look", I couldn't get past "is she really, really wearing that? has there been some sort of accident?" mentally.

At least I couldn't see her nipples from my car.

[culturehandy]

Since when did nipples become the fashion statement du jour?

OT but remember when fake nipples were all the fad? There was a SATC episode about it.

It seems the crocs fad is dying, I hope.

[mornington]

dear lady who tried to pet my dog at 7am

I think it was your light denim gaucho-length wide-leg mom jeans that scared him. Combined with circa mid-90s blocky heeled ankle boots*. Or your nipples, which we could cleary see through your white t-shirt.

seriously.


*the type that look a little like ankle-high riding boots, all loose at the leg and square-toed and fugly


busty: yeeech on the granddad.

and the nipple-show? whyyyyyy?

I should admit I wasn't exactly hott at 7am, but at least I was wearing a coat and had put a hat on over my bed-hair.

[culturehandy]

Bustygirl, are you serious???

*vomits*

what are people thinking when they leave the house. Hell, even when I'm sick I at least wear nice fleece pants and matching shirt.
