Suck It In

All right Emo children, this is my chance to rant: nut-crushing, sausage-packing, skin-sucking jeans are NOT acceptable if you're a male - period. I've freakin' had enough of 'em. I know it's cool in your circle of gloom, but do you ENJOY wearing Saran Wrap? Girls, a sensitive guy is good, but not if by sensitive you mean he can feel a fly on his junk through his jeans; neither is it cool that it probably takes him nearly as long to stuff himself into those things as it does for the average chick to put on makeup. I can't yell at you for the boxers hanging out of your pants (which I also can't stand) because quite frankly, there probably wasn't room for them ... but I also couldn't yell at you because you'll most likely start crying.

Nineties Naval Nightmare

My mother wore something like this when my father came back from serving overseas - it seemed a fitting naval, special-occasion attire ... back in the early 90's. Wait - are those shoulder pads I see, too? Unless you're a small prey animal trying to appear bigger, or playing a full-contact sport, shoulder pads are not only unnecessary but a wide-load hazard to those walking too close to you. I didn't see you from the front, but I can imagine those blown-up bangs and bobbed cut that were popular then. Any number of people who lived fashion conscious [in the early 90s] will tell you now that it's not worth repeating, especially if it risks you getting caught in a bike chain and biting the big one.

Rubber Bum

Ya know, I've never been a fan of those one-piece mini-dresses when worn with a pair of blue jeans, it's like Christmas lights in the summer, it just looks stupid. Now we have a whole new dimension of ar-tardedness when you throw in the horse-stall mucker look, because let's face it, even rubber boots designed for rainy days (which there was no rain that day) have some fashion design to them - only sh*t boots are black. Have some sense of style when walking on High Street - toss an extra pair of shoes for the day in your car - unless you want the bums to quit bugging you for change by throwing an outfit together like that.

  1. I actually think that the boots and jeans thing is hot. I will agree that rain is needed, but look at her stride and the tight jeans tucked into those boots. I just think that a chick in rainboots is totally sexy. My humble opinion!

  5. They compliment the casual look of the jeans. I think rain would be in order. At least they aren’t polka-dotted and fru-frued! It looks good. I like.

  8. I have Downs Syndrome. I also think that rubber boots should not be worn in the sunshine! I like the girl in the dress on the bike. It reminds me of when I was a Kid in the late 1800s.

  9. I want a bike like that. I will ride it in the rain with my black rubber boots and ask for change of passersby. The first picture: well.....He (I think) just looks like a crack addict.

  10. I’m an alcoholic.

  11. I don’t mind those nut-crushin’ jeans. At least you don’t have to worry about birth control. I doubt any of those sea men have their sea legs left.

  12. I vote for the chick on the bike and the chick in the sh#t kickers. The dude in the jeans is kinda weird looking....The dress is a bit ’80’s though. The rainboot thing is in right now, but for God’s sake!!! Wear ’em in the rain my lady!!!
