Anyway, back to other things. My friend Darren recently found this blog, written by an apparently very angry guy; it's so funny and well worth a read, but in a potted manner here is what he has to say: Basically, he claims to know nothing about fashion, but gives his opinion with alacrity anyway. He smashes Crocs (props) and those horrible 'hoochie mama' style logo tees (again,kudos to this) but then goes on to wax lyrical about the pointlessness of red lipstick. Ok-stop. Have an opinion, by all means, but don't be hating on my red lippy, mate.
So I thought I might get my own back a bit, and have a bit of a crack at men's fashion errors in judgement. Which is an unintentional pun actually because the first thing I will be drawing your attention to is this:

I think what offends me the most about this image, and yes, the chappy sporting this abomination does not stand alone because I must see blokes kecks poking out of their jeans on a daily basis-and I'll use this photo as a benchmark because I've seen versions more underexposed and (frighteningly) more overexposed than this as well-are the pants. Guys, really? NO ONE, at least no one (that I know of) in the female race, wants to see your pants (at least outside of the bedroom), ESPECIALLY if they fall into one of the following categories: 1) budgie smugglers in lurid colours that show off every curve of your posterior and normally have a dirty great brand logo around the waistband-Playboy pants won't get you laid, they just make you look like a bit of a twit, to be honest. 2) Dad pants: As sported by our long suffering, summer loving low-rise toter up there-I mean, seriously? If you MUST rock this look, (and please, think twice) have the decency to do it in a pair of clean, inoffensive, neutral-coloured knicks that don't scream either a) LOOK AT MY BUM or b) TAKE ME TO A WASHING MACHINE. Bless our streetwise style maven up there; not only is he battling with acres of pant fabric bunching up nicely around his belt (perhaps this is all part of the look? Oversized jeans, oversized pants? who can tell) he is also displaying the greyest looking pair of grundies I've ever had the poor fortune to clock. It's a double disaster.
I'm unsure when this 'trend' kicked off, to be honest, and I'll admit it isn't limited to boys; ladies, the whale tail is not a trend, repeat, NOT a trend, so, for the sake of my retinas, let's just keep all our bits covered, shall we?
