dressing your age
was walking by orchard last night and caught some young girls round thirteen or fifteenish covered by skimpy pieces of cloth and bad makeup [excuse me but who taught you to put two blocks of pink on your cheekbones arh?]hullo. did i grow up a prude or did i miss something here? i've never worn skimpy stuff when i was that age. come on. how the hell can you look good in tubes when you don't even have boobs to fill them in? and don't get me started on the ass. but that's not the point.
why are these pre pubescent girls dressing five years older than they are? do they not realise the possibility of being leered at by lechers and paedophiles, tempting some "irresponsible" men to attempt rape even? [ok, too much law and order and CSI)
why do teens like to dress as young adults?
why do young adults like to dress as middle aged women?
why do older women (40s and 50s) like to dress like they're twenty?
i've no qualms if you're 50 and still have the body of cher or demi moore. but waitaminute. reality check. just how many are there like that huh? i find it horrifying and disturbing watching folds of wrinkled fat protruding from a lycra spaghetti midriff or watching wobbly thighs jiggle in the all too-short miniskirt. er, auntie i don't think we wanna see your cellulite-ass whilst riding up the escalator. *save us all*
why can't women dress their age? women in the 40s and 50s look so distinguished and graceful in pearls, twinsets with jeans, and styled hair [read:style maestro anna wintour]. why do they need to dye white to reds/brown and clad themselves in ridiculously smaller sized outfits thinking it'll take ten years off?
i'm sorry honey, it ain't work that way.
