"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months." -Oscar Wilde

So this may seem shallow and stupid, but today's post is about clothes and fashion. Lucky is still a chick at heart and sometimes she feels the need to let it show. I've noticed that recently the new fashion for girls my age is ridiculously familiar, and it really annoys me. Why, you ask. Allow me to explain myself.

I was out shopping the other day and came to the sudden realization that all the things I used to wear in high school are now cool and stylish. Now these are the things I used to wear and get made fun of for wearing them. I used to wear kimono sleeve shirts, and I was ridiculed because I looked like I had wings on my arms. Now they are cool and considered cute. Too bad I tossed most of mine when I got tired of them. I'm pretty sure I could still wear some of them. I used to wear zip up sweatshirts all the time. And even pushed the sleeves up. That got me picked on for looking like a grungy dork. I still wore them for the sheer comfort factor. Now they are in style and people think I wear them because I want to be cool and trendy. I'm not a trend follower at all, but that's my label if I keep dressing the way I do.

No, Nicole isn't going to change her look because style dictates it. She'll just face facts and be herself.

While on this subject I have another topic that gets to me. Again this is brought on by some experiences I had with shopping. I was in the store and noticed these two little girls, maybe eleven or so, and was appalled that their parents let them leave the house dressed the way they were dressed. They were wearing clothes that I've seen on my fellow college students and even then I find them unattractive. Tiny mini skirts with leggings under them, by tiny I mean so short that one false move shows everything. Shorts so short that they might as well not have them on at all and tank tops that showed most of their mid drifts. And I actually saw one of them putting on bright red lipstick. Clearly the message we are sending kids is way off kilter somewhere. They want clothes that say things like 'juicy', '2 hot 4 U', 'your boyfriend thinks I'm cute', and various other phrases that ten to eleven year old girls should not even know. Why don't people think for a change. I want to scream and then start smacking people when I see these little girls dressed in clothes a high school or college girl would wear. It's just ridiculous.

And a final note which may or may not be offensive to some one who reads this blog. What it so sexy about a guy wearing girl's pants? Honestly, I don't find the fact a guy can squeeze himself into a pair of tiny girl's jeans remotely attractive. In fact it disturbs me in a few ways. Serious damage could be done to the human body if you do that to it. Does that even occur to them? Or is that what makes them so hardcore? Me, I just want to look at them and shout 'hey, get the hell out of my pants' at the top of my lungs. It is not flattering in the least on a guy to see him shoved into clothes that are way too tight. It's slightly repulsive.

Well thats the end of my little rant on clothing and style. If you were in any way offended, oh well, I do not write my blog to be politically correct or fuzzy. I tell the truth.
