Gym Dad
Last night as I was leaving the gym in 20 degree weather all bundled up with hat, hood, gloves and down coat I observed a young dad leaving with his three children. The youngest girl was in his arms with wet hair after a swim. The little boy running next to him was wearing his coat solely by the hood like a super hero and the oldest daughter wearing basketball shorts and a light jacket. Memories of Grandma vonOehsen demanding that I cover my ears came racing into my mind. Seriously 20 degrees! As a childless woman, I found myself judging this young dad and his lack of winter wear.
Teen Leggings
One of the biggest fashion trends with teen girls seems to be wearing leggings as pants with tops that come to their waist, not mid-thigh. All their form-fitting business is exposed as they take their laps through the mall oblivious to Pervy McPervson’s ogling and heavy breathing.
Stripper shoes
Five-inch stiletto’s and platform shoes have crossed-over from the pole to the mainstream. Celebrities, eighth graders and CEO’s parade around on tip-toe with their feet in glitter, animal print, ankle strap bondage.
I don’t get it!
You will all be invited to my 50th birthday celebration in 2016 where I will likely be wearing comfortable shoes, normal fitting pants and ear-muffs.
