Lets be honest - we all wish we could be young and daft again - wear short skirts and high heels and feel like the bees knees.

Some of us men never got round to wearing short skirts and high heels and I doubt I'd have felt like the bees knees if I had.

Dont knock it till you've tried it  ;)

I'll be honest. I don;t really have the legs for mini skirts. In fact bees have better knees.

And haircuts, lets not forget about them  ::) ;D

Hehe yes!! My Latin teacher referred to me as "the girl with the Swan Lake hairstyle" and offered me kirby grips on a regular basis!

well, I even have work colleagues that come in in baggy jeans and to be honest I am not really comfy looking at their dacks over the top of their jeans which are down around their thighs. And really truly I am far from being a prude but I think that some things are not really appropriate in the workplace! I've not said anything though...

the boys wearing their jeans low is bad enough but girls wearing thongs and then bending down showing more than the boys at least they  wear under pants that cover their rears  :o

Pull your blooming trousers up, it looks naff, or like you've had a little "accident", and I'm sick of seeing your pants!!

yes i agree   ;D

Hi all, being spurred on by the other thread regarding lurking and not posting I thought I would pipe up  ;D

This thread is really making me laugh and now being the age where I could rightfully star in any of the 'Grumpy guide to...' TV programmes I also have a good moan about what the youth of today get up to, but as has been said before let them get it out of their system, they'll have to grow up soon enough - although I have to admit I am no fan of gangster inspired fashion (or music) to be honest, why anyone would want to emulate criminals or prisoners is beyond me.

I asked about the fashion of trousers hanging (dangerously :o) low and was told they are worn to emulate the trousers of prisoners who are not allowed belts!!!! Not sure how many of the wearers know this though.

actually the prisoners wear there trousers low like that to show that they are 'available' to the other prisoners, if you know what i mean  :-X :o

 :o :o :o

Judging by the age of the kids and the trouser situation with some of the rioters here in london. I think some of them may well find out first hand if the reason behind the dangerously low level of waistband is a prisoners lack of belt  or "availability" for propostions

I remember a lad calling for me in the sixties wearing floral shirt and jacket, bell bottom trousers, stack heel chelsea boots and his coiffured hair was longer and looked better than mine. ;D
My parents were very amused but I thought he looked fantastic. 8)

Do I know you ;D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I still remember my little nan (4'9" tall) opening the door to my boyfriend, who was 6'1" tall, shaved hair on both sides except a dyed red and black Mohican tied back, bondage trousers, ripped vest etc..., who did not bat an eyelid, just craned her head back to look up at him and said, 'Hello love, you must have come to pick up Debbie......." bless her. Oh yeah, and he's my husband now! ;D

...............even funnier, our 18 year old daughter was looking at some old photos of us as teenagers at a party, sniggering over their clothes and hairstyles and then said 'He's nice mum, who's that bloke in the background?" I had a look and had to break it to her........"That's your dad love!!!!!!" She stopped screaming after about 10 minutes! ;D ;D ;D  Funny how they can't imagine us ever being younger eh?!

My kids think it's hilarious when they see pictures of Him Indoors with a full head of hair.  They've only ever known him bald! ;D

It's not just teenagers who have lousey dress sense ! I live right next to the sea and tourists walk past on their way to the beach all the time.Honestly!! you would think half of them got dressed in the dark !! either that or wherever they are staying has no mirrors!!!! OH and I sit in the garden some times and actually roll about laughing at some of the people who pass by! I can imagine one of those "fashion" people from TV being here!! They would have a field day !!  ;D
