Tokyo has an eclectic mix of fashion, some of which is nice, but most of which are downright weird. Pink with red? Knee socks with short skirts? Platform heels? The photo-negative panda look? There are two however that just get me. I mean, how on earth can women think this is fashionable???
Culprit A- the mini-skirt. Mini-skirts are fine, but there is a point where they become unacceptable in length. Like the person that I saw the other day who was wearing a skin tight mini that, without a word of a lie, showed a good inch of her butt cheeks. Hello????!!! I don't even want to know what was showing from the front. This woman was getting all kinds of disgusted stares. I mean, how would you sit down in that thing?
What is even more worrisome is that young girls do this type of thing to their school uniforms. Wearing it just above the knee, or mid-thigh, is fashionable. But, here's a hint, if you have to hold the back of it against your ass as you walk up a flight of stairs - it is too short! I mean come on.
Culprit B- the porno lips. For some totally bizarre and unknown reason, lip gloss is in. I have nothing against gloss, but when it is slathered in such quantities against your lips that (sorry there is no way to put this delicately) it looks like someone has just come on your face, well that is gross. It gives me the shudders every time I see it. How can that look attractive? Most people that I know, refer to it like this - "Yeah, I hate that lip gloss thing. It looks like, uh, well, you know... (trailed off embarrassed silence)". So I'm not the only one who gets a certain explicit picture.
So those are my two pet peeves recently. Why do women feel that they have to walk around looking like prostitutes? That is not fashionable. I can understand sexy, even revealing, but come on ladies, lets learn the fine line of difference.
Anyway, I haven't seen the latest North American trends, but hear they have a prostitute look to them as well. Anyone want to vent about North American fashions that drive you nuts?

Blame Britany Spears! There are young girls 10 and up walking around here (I can't believe their parent let them!) with tops cut high showing midriff and low cut pants showing the crack of asses with the top of the throng underwear showing. This is the latest look here and there are stores at the mall which sell exclusively this stuff for the "tweens" (between a child and a teen)I think it is disgusting that these kids dress like this. Hillary Duff is very popular with the young girls. Emilie is 10 years old and she is into Hillary who has her own line of clothing, makeup, shoes, backpacks etc. The Olsen twins also have a complete line of this clothing too! Even Shoppers Drug Mart carries Olsen makeup and hats etc. All catering to 10 to 12 year olds. Amazing and these young celebrities are very rich. The Olsen sisters just bought a house worth 4 million! I hope that Renate does not give into pressure and let Emilie dress like this! At least for a while! Time will tell...peer pressure and great marketing does influence these young girls. There, this is the latest in Ontario. I hope gloss does not become trendy here after what you said....Mom
