Is it just me.....

.....or has fashion gone completely mad??? Like seriously, what are people thinking??? I have seen some absolutely shocking things out on road and I'm like, "do you not own a mirror in your yard, do you have no shame?"

Let me elaborate on some of the things I'm talking about.....well one of the things and let me tell you, in the words of Peter Griffin, it really "grinds my gears". Are you ready? It's LEGGINGS!!!

Now ladies, leggings are NOT, I repeat NOT trousers and therefore should not be worn as such. When the fashion of wearing leggings first came on to the scene, they were modelled as under garments, to be worn under long tops or jumpers. I now see people wearing these things as trousers, with short tops, their big old VPL and stripy knickers out of door with their big asses just wobbling about the place. The only time it is acceptable to wear leggings with a short top is if you're out running, in the gym or in a dance studio!!!

Now that leggings have been "accepted" as trousers, people are now taking their fashion bravery one step further and wearing tights. Yes that's right, TIGHTS!!! People are wearing tights as trousers and these are being worn, shockingly enough, with short tops so that the big old seam line of the tights are clearly visible!!! When I first saw this new "fashion" I nearly passed out. I wanted to tap this girl on the shoulder and ask her if she was aware she had lost her skirt somewhere. I actually felt so embarrassed for the girl.

Nakedness seems to be becoming the fashion nowadays. Soon everybody will be walking around in their birthday suits. I think Wilhelmina Slater said it best on Ugly Betty when she said: "you will never be able to convince me that leggings are trousers". Say no more!!!

    LOL I love the Wilhemina quote at the end - definately cant agree with you more.

    Once I was walking behind a girl with short top and thin leggings, up the stairs in a train station. MY.DAYS. She did not wash after going to the toilet because it stank of pee.

    UGH.

    You should have seen the things I saw last night at the Usher concert. People either have no sense of style or no mirrors in the house. Saw a couple of girls in leggings whose backsides were so ballooned they looked like the were wearing nappies.

    I don't know what's going on. Leggings are not for everybody and if you're going to wear them with short tops, like anon said, you have to know how to rock em.

Rastamouse - is it really irie man?

How many of you have seen the new CBeebies children's programme Rastamouse?  It features a Jamaican Rastafarian mouse and his crew of 2 (Scratchy and Zooma) aka The Easy Crew.  They solve mysteries in their native Mouseland.  Now when I first saw this I thought it was hilarious. Hearing these characters speaking patois on a children's programme was amazing to me and a sign of how far we had come in this country, accepting and promoting diversity.  At the same time I knew it would only be a matter of time before the complaints came in.  I could just hear hordes of parents saying "but this isn't teaching the children to speak real English", "I don't want my child pretending to be a gangster" (because believe it or not there is a blinged up gangster mouse on the show and he may not be behaving like a gangster but he is dressed as and speaks like one). It may sound like I don't approve of the show, don't get me wrong I actually like it. The thi...

Don't Call Me Coloured!!

Race is a very sensitive subject. You have to be so careful about how you refer to or describe someone just in case you cause offence but these days that can be said about anything. The tone, manner and circumstance of what you say makes a big difference to how something is taken. When I was in Cyprus a Pakistani sister from Manchester was in conversation with a German sister. The German sister was referring to black people as coloured. The Pakistani sister to my surprise told her off to which the German sister replied "no no you mustn't say black it's wrong". I had been keeping out of the conversation until this point when I felt the need to inform this sister that there is nothing wrong with calling a black person black. Many black people find the description "coloured" very offensive. To this the sister said "but you're not all black anyway. Some of you are brown, some of you are light brown, some of you are caramel". I had to laugh at t...

The Acai Berry: Part 1

So there's been a lot of talk in the press recently about the Acai Berry; a super food which grows in South America and is the new weight loss miracle sweeping the world.  Apparently the Acai Berry is packed with antioxidants and high in fibre, reducing your appetite and can also do the following: 1. Increase your metabolic rate helping you to lose weight 2. Slow down the ageing process and help cell recovery 3. Increase energy levels and fight fatigue 4. Give you clear skin and a glowing complexion. With all of the above combined, the Acai Berry apparently makes the process of losing weight faster and easier without any side effects. Now I'm not going to lie, I was totally impressed after reading about this super food and the 5 star reviews on it.  I'm trying to eat healthier and lose a little weight and right here in front of me is a natural product I can use that will help me feel good, shed those extra pounds and look great.  So I did my research. ...
