Clothing and Fashion
Okay, this aint about uniforms or anything, its more like genderwize clothing. My vision is abit blurry so excuse the typos if they occur in some places, k?
Now, i was just on my bed, finishing my maths and listening to placebo, meds(b-day present) when i was really thinking about this issue... it is an issue, you know. What i wanted to discuss here was clothing by gender, you know, feminine and/or mandly clothing. All that. My classmates(the twins) and a few friends have confused me for a guy quite a few times cause of the way i dress, my hair and all that. I have no problem with it, i actually like it, i am a bit of an exhibitionist sometimes...most of times. I'm confusing myself so i'll try getting to the point real quick or i'll just lose the point here. First, a few questions for you to answer. Why are women expected to wear skirts? Why are women expected to wear dresses and all that shit? I sound like an effin feminist, which i'm not. But yeah, why anyway? People are different, lets agree on that. But i find it discriminating how sometimes people just laugh and talk behind your back just cause they think you look "overly guyish". I'll take myself as an example here. I'd very well mistake myself for a guy in front of the mirror if i didn't know myself, be overly flat and the knowledge that i am indeed a girl XD. There is nothing wrong with wearing what complements your personality. I like simple things and i just think that sometimes fashion has really stepped into a really big bucket. Another point i eventually wanted to reach. Fashion. Do we need it? - not necessarily, no. Then why does it exist? - cause people need something to fit in with, they want to be special, they want to wear expensive things, they want to look the same. Sometimes these things are discriminating. Its good these days cause no matter whatr you'll wear, you'll look okay, maybe good, maybe great, but okay is the most probable. If i wore a fishnet top to school tomorrow, perhaps people would raise their eyebrows once and then stop caring cause its pointless anyway, plus its useless visual information. But nobody would think it would be totaly out of fashion. Aah, now i remembered what i really wanted to say. I wanted to talk about the whole "21'st century I-look-like-Madonna" fashion. Tights and a skirt. Personally, i think it looks disgusting. It looked awesome in the 80's, i agree on that, it looked pretty damn sexy, if i were a teen back then, i would have worn them a couple of times, if i were a girly type of girl who'd go crazy about skirts. Some skirts i actually like. Then, these little jacket thingies...what do you call em again, Boolero jackets? They're so pointless, again, no offence, its my own personal view of this. My reasons for dislike 1) they hardly cover anything but your tits. 2) they have no purpose but to just be there(btw, i'm no rolemodel on not using pointless stuff), more reasons to come. Now, for these ampire(sp?) cut jackets. They are just as pointless cause 3) they dont protect or keep warm the organs you need for life, the kidneys, getting me here? fuck them up and you die, scary enough for you? I wouldnt really give a damn if i were a blonde babe(no offence to blondes)wearing those tights with skirts and a stupid jacket like that, about my kidneys or any other organs, heck i'd look horribly good and all those guys with almost no jobs looking like billionaires would like to shag me. Then find another whore. I hope some of you share my beliefs in this. No, no, no, i didnt mean to say that the fact that sex sells is bad, on the contrary. I have nothing against that. I have such an effin dirty mind that...dont get me started on what happened yesterday on our couch but it involved me, Julie, Maddy and Julie's boyfriend, heck, you should have been there. Damn, we just got from cheap pornographic clothes that make you look like a hooker to dirty games. Actually, i wouldnt have anything against looking like a hooker. Xept, not like those hookers. More gothic. But its just not my thing. I just read somewhere where Brian said something like sexiness has to be natural. I totaly agree with him. Forcing, or acting just spoil it, make it fake. And when something is fake, its just no good. I sound like someone perfect, i'm not. I have so many pointless things and i do so many pointless things and i dont feel sorry for it, not even guilty. I usually end up contradicting myself, and it frustrates me when someone delves deeper into what i say than need be. I think i have the tendency to anger problems but not too a large chance. I'll try saying something smart again, this is getting abit old, abit too me-myself-and-I here. In short, i will leave you with this, all in my own opinion(please do express yours, i like discussions and debates, and if you want, pm me).
1. Fashion is pointless. Everyone wears what they like anyways and people who only wear what is currently "in" make themselves seem tasteless and look like they lack personality or the risk and courage of being different.
2. Tights and skirts make you look like a damn hooker. Nothing wrong with it, of course. They just make you look horribly tasteless. Just like wearing socks with higheels. Personally, i'd never do those two...if i wore highheels, of course, they are another thing i find pointless.
3. Little ampire cut jackets and shirts should only be worn in summer because otherwize they may have a rather negative effect on your health, you might catch a rather serious cold.
4. Just remembered. Any one of you who has any brains should have figured out that the body areas that feel the most cold during winter gather up the most fat. Hows that? Tell that to your hooker-like schoolmates and try videotaping their reactions, bet it'll be worth it. At least thats something their little narcissic brains can accept.
5. Wearing make-up that doesnt suit you makes you look cheap. My friend applied blue eyeshadow on me, not knowing i have quite dark brownish green eyes(dont know really, a mix it truly is), and i looked like such a hoe. I felt quite sick. She should have known better.
6. -insert something witty here for this is the place where my brainpower decreases cause of my tiredness from celebrating four days straight(my birthday, i got 15)-
I truly hope this was of some use, and that my ranting didnt confuse anyone. And if it did, just feel free to pm me any time.

good point Kurtni...sry for my suck-arse roleplay comment, i was at school(and i have the tendency of having an excuse for almost everything). i personally love people who have their own unique style...i sometimes have a slight difficulty in expressing every angle of my opinion

Everyone has their own view of beauty. If someone thinks they look nice "Cheap," Let them be. They're happy, why would you take that away?

I think you contradicted yourself there. Fashion isn't pointless, it gives people a sense of individuality.
2. Tights and skirts make you look like a damn hooker. Nothing wrong with it, of course. They just make you look horribly tasteless. Just like wearing socks with higheels. Personally, i'd never do those two...if i wore highheels, of course, they are another thing i find pointless.

I hope you're talking about certain type of skirts and tights, because, if you walk into a professional office, church, school [teachers] you see many women dressed up in skirts and tights. The only way you can look like a hooker is if it's a mini skirt and the tights are something you get off the clearance rack at hot topic

Holy crap! Dude, I had no idea you were so good at expressing your opinions. Im so glad you signed up for the roleplay debate. This was like.. amazing. I don't agree with every little thing you said, but you stated your opinions so well and respectfully. A+ for you!
I agree to much important is placed on fashion, but I don't think its pointless. I, personally love it. I love vintage fashion with a passion (no cheesy rhyme intended). It's shaped the person I am today really, not so much the clothes, but it's made me insanely interested in the culture of the 1940's. Some people make an entire career out of it. It's just a hobby like any other. Some people like riding bikes, some like building models, I like clothes.
Kurtni, April 8th, 2007 at 09:13:33pm
I agree
Toxic Narcotic, April 8th, 2007 at 06:03:09pm
I completely agree with you.
