Fashion Faux Paws

OMG. I need those!! where on that site? I looked and couldnt find them.

Cindy

Thanks! :-)

I should have amended my post to read "...unless actually doing some strenuous activity which *justifies* shorts." Which also probably means you have lovely knees, even after 40. ;-)

Better?

Lurker's pet peeve: Bottom and top do not meet and there is an ugly belly button with a ring in it staring you in the face. What's supposed to be pretty? Hillbilly Dot in Tennessee

Depends whether it's an inny or an outy?

Oooh are you in Leeds! I have a friend from Leeds who uses the same word! She also uses the word 'chav' too to describe them and there is a website dedicated to them,

Spot on!

That's the one!

Leeds is nice, incidentally. As is my daughter, but I did think her come-back over the "Yer Dad" thing was rather classy. She's obviously growing up - a year ago, she'd just have flattened the little s0d hehehe! (He is, without doubt, one of the most peculiarly kickable children I've ever met)

wonderful wonderful movie!! It's where we were introduced to Cereal Killer, who later went on to play Shaggy in the Scooby Doo movies!! LOL DH and I watch it whenever it's on!!

Heh. My daughter recently played the role of a police officer in a play. The uniform company that graciously offered to loan her appropriate garb requested her waist size and her inseam. Period. I questioned this but her drama teacher assured me that they supplied uniforms for female officers "all the time" and that they knew how to fit them. Of course when the garments arrived there was a blood-chilling scream of despair. The shirt was ok, but the pants were a disaster. The waist might have fit but we'll never know because she couldn't even get them pulled up over her hips, let alone zipped. They were clearly designed for someone shaped like a carrot, not an hourglass. We substituted a pair of her own plain navy blue pants, which looked fine under the stage lights, but my heart went out to the ladies of law enforcement who have to deal with those doofuses (doofi?).

My personal dislikes are above the ankle pants with wide legs. They always look to me like someone is wearing pants that shrunk in the wash and should have been discarded 10 years ago. I also hate to see people walking around with a tee shirt hanging out of their panats and a shorted shirt, be it flannel or sweat shirt over it. Juno

Be sure to stay away from agility trials. ;-)

And flyball tournaments. You'll see women of all ages and sizes in shorts, t-shirts (and knee braces), liberally accessorized with canine slobber and hair, having an absolute blast with their best friends and enjoying the company of kindred souls.

I tend to file most of these faux paws under "g" for "get a life".

I think the worst ever has to be fellas in kilts slung UNDER a beer gut, and which end to soon above the knee! Gents with bow-window frontage CAN look good in kilts - but only if they fit PROPERLY!

Same goes for most clothes, I suppose! ;)

And for ladies, VPL showing where they stuffed a size 18 bum into size

12 undies...

Or stuffed into anything size 12. I know a few who are still trying to convince themselves that they wear size 12 or 14 or anything close to it when we all know they should be buying size 22 or larger. I know I'm not thin but I'll be d.....d if I'd try to wear the same size I wore many years ago. My DH keeps asking why I have so many problem with fit. He always says that I use to be able to sew almost out of the pattern envelope. I just keep say it the years and body drag. Just not built the same anymore. Juno

bragging: I made all the dress outfits except the oneaccredited to F.A.D. (and we designed it together).

--Karen M. please don't ask who F.A.D. is

What she said!
