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.

Double Standards!!!

Don't you just hate them?  Like, people say one thing, either about themselves or a certain situation but it's the total opposite for them, like it's not ok for you but it's all good for them.    The term double standard , coined in 1912, refers to any set of principles containing different provisions for one group of people than for another, typically without a good reason for having said difference.  A double standard may take the form of an instance in which certain concepts (often, for example, a word, phrase, social norm, or rule) are perceived as acceptable to be applied by one group of people, but are considered unacceptable or taboo when applied by another group . Taken from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard . I've recently been in a situation where a double standard was applied.  I didn't even realise it at first and the truth is we are all faced with double standards every day in our lives.  For example, people will s...

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...

Review: The Help by Kathryn Stockett

The Help is a fictional novel written by Kathryn Stockett, set in 1960's Mississippi: "where black maids raise white children, but aren't trusted not to steal the silver". The book follows three main characters; Aibleen who is raising her 17th white child for a family more concerned with themselves, than with their own baby.  Minny who is famous for her cooking as well as her sharp tongue (she's not afraid to tell you like it is, whether you're black or white) and Miss Skeeter, a young white woman who has returned from college to find her beloved maid Constantine has disappeared.  The three main characters become friends as Miss Skeeter who is a keen writer, decides to write a book about white families and their black maids. I first heard about this book watching a review on the TV Book Club with Jo Brand.  They seemed to be 50/50 on their opinion of the book.  Their main concern was, how can a white author identify with the black maids?  How ...
