Fashion Nonsense

I don't approve of scantily clad young girls washing cars. I know, I am old fashioned, but really? They have to wear short shorts and skin tight tank tops to wash cars? I am not a fan of youth raising money by having car washes. I think that there are too many of them, and I find the children posted in the medians of the highway a traffic hazard. Where are their parents when they go to these activities? Have we, as parents and/or grandparents, lost our ability to say, "Go back inside and come out with something decent on."? How have we let this happen? Who was the first parent to let their kid go outside with his father's jean shorts down around his butt cheeks? When on earth is that going out of style? I saw a young man walking outside yesterday with his entire butt showing out of the top of his giant shorts that went down to is ankles. How are they still considered shorts? He had on underwear (thank the Lord), but his pants were clearly 5 sizes too big for him. I, for one, did not want to look at his underpants. How is that attractive? I know I am not a clothes horse, nor am I particularly trendy or fashionable, but I do know what looks terrible. Just check out some of the clothes on the awkward photo site. Those are some terrible clothes. When did we become desensitized to decent apparel? Modesty is a virtue that is lacking on a large scale in many of our young people. I guess when the hippies decided to burn their bras, they left the fashion world with a lot of options. I know that clothes don't make the man, but you can sure come up with some snap opinions when you look at some of the outfits that people wear. I am afraid that I cannot help but make rude comments under my breath when I see what people are wearing these days. Not that it is any of my business.
