Good grief... reading this thread makes me feel like I'm sat in the director's box at the World Professional Pearl Clutching Championships Cup 2ⁿᵈ round qualifiers.
Which has just been hijacked by three coachloads of competitors from the International "Being Judgemental is the Whole of My Personality" Tournament.
Fear not though, as the "I feel entitled to stop and intently stare at some random girls girls pelvic area for long enough that I can get a good ol' look at her anus and vulva then complain about seeing these things, an OHEMGEE ALL MENS IS PERVERTS LOOK AT THEM DARING NO NOTICE THAT WYMENS EXIST!!ONE!ELEVEN!!1" squad are here to save the day! Only instead of CS gas, they're spraying everyone with a mixture of jealousy and envy, making everything worse...
I mean there's nothing wrong with having an opinion or with sharing that opinion, particularly with style/fashion etc. Unless you're gonna start with that "Stevie, it's not 1998 anymore, besides you looked stupid in that Levi's Sta-Pressed stuff even when it was in fashion", because I don't listen to filthy liars..
Seriously though, can't we just accept that fashion and style changes over time (don't start)? Maybe let people wear what they want to, whatever makes them feel good? Or do something wild and crazy like acting as if we're on the same team and building each other up instead of tearing each other down?
To clear up any confusion:
• Yes, white chino's with creases that'd impress the Sa'ant Major DO look good coupled with white trainers, thank you very much.
• No, I am NOT "on my way to boy band rehearsals".
• Yes, I DO have a genuine Levi's branded Flat Eric teddy (I also have two kids though, and he's looking like the years have been just as unkind to him as they have me)
• And yes, my wonderful, beloved (and ludicrously patient - with me at least!) DW does buy my clothes for me.
That is all.
