When I see 'young gels' wearing jeans shredded from thigh to ankle? It looks like there has been a sudded plague of gals falling off their bikes.

I do remenber the 'torn knee' look but this takes the biscuit!

'sudden plague'? 'studded plague'? Both simultaneously?
Dear, dear me, you don't propose sewing the poor dears to their bicycles, do you? Shock

I get it - 'sudded plague' refers to frothy-looking denim rips? No?

No, just typing on a bumpy bus. Noone else thinks it looks a bit drastic? I saw three women today with slashed jeans. Lools a bit draughty to me.

I am such an ollllld bag! I also have to resist the urge to pull up the trousers of the young lads as I hate seeing arse cracks. It puts me off my tea.

Was thinking you might find it difficult not to sort out those young 'uns in their low slung slacks with a short sharp wedgy.

Another old fogey here. The fashion round near us seems to be strategically ripped fishnets with safety pins in them, which seems like a triumph of style over logic really.

I taught a lad recently who wore his jeans ripped all over and his shirt unbuttoned more or less to his bellybutton, showing an expanse of carefully waxed chest cleavage. Bless.

Are you a choreographer with Hot Gossip, LRD?
