Women of the past got peeved and annoyed with the fashion industry for making their clothes outdated pretty fast. So they had to buy trendy clothes over and over.

That’s why women finally felt real liberated with the introduction of blue jean into the mainstream American life. They don’t have to be slave to the fashion trends at all.

I used to be the clothes horse myself til I realize about more to life than trendy clothes. I begin to dress more like a dreary burb (suburban) after living in Northern Virgina for a year.

Yes, there are studies about the indue influence on people’s clothes where they reside. Ever the metropolitian DC region of various areas, people still tend to dress regionally.

Rob always have a zesty taste in his clothes. I admire his clothes in many ways. He really know how to dress very well without being tacky or out of proporation.

I once seen the bunch of teenagers in the Metrorail car. They were one of worst dressers ever I seen in my entire life. Guess what? Those kids were from Minneapolis. Very surprising!

I notice that people coming from the liberal background tend to dress shabbily. I probably am wrong about putting the labels on regional people.

I never forgot about wearing rope as “belt” around my pant as part of the parody of hillbilly people in my elementary school’s “Parent Day” play. I grew up never seeing anyone wearing rope or living in the shack during my West Virginia childhood.

I am not really a native West Virginian at all. I born in another state.

I always enjoy seeing hillbilly clothes in historical pictures. Ever my WV School of the Deaf yearbook had the pics of alumnus wearing hillbilly clothes as a homage to the 100th anniversary of the formation of the deaf school.

Some people would dress anything to cover up their obsese bodies. I sometimes tell this person how great he or she looks. I often get the “pssst” comments from those individuals that they really do not slimmin’ down at all. Those individuals just dress to make sure that they would not look real fat. What an illusion!

I could not wear tank tops because I have hairy back. Some guys would go woofy over me for my hairy back. I somewhat feel conscious about my hairy back.

I am not really that “ape” man. If not for the gray and white hair, I probably do not give any “f***” what people think of me.

I could understand how Clinton struggle with his own weight for many years. He once called “Bubba”.

Bill Clinton is not really sexy without his shirt and pant. The vacation pic of Bill and Hillary from last six years ago still imprint in my memory.

I would love to see GWB without his shirt or pant. I speak of his swimsuit or his shirt. That’s what I miss most is Ronald Reagan. He was very gutsy for taking off his shirt for the general public during his presidency.

Bill Clinton seems trying too hard to be a statesman. I would love to see the real Clinton which he frequently lose his temper. Clinton is no Nixon without using any excessive profanity.

Nixon knew how to express himself very well. *chuckles* That’s what many historians always find him to be real fascinating and interesting.

Yes, the infamous photo of Richard Milous Nixon wore the three-piece suit and black dress shoes at his Califorina beachhouse. What a guy!

Nixon was well-known for wearing his pant over his belly. I don’t know why!

That would be really nice if we have the collection of the modern presidents without their shirts or pants including the future female or transexual or extraterrastial (who knows??) president.

Jimmy Carter knew how to dress himself very well. He wore knit shirts many times.

Then again, it’s 115 degrees outside today. : )

Also, no idea if anyone else agrees, but it irks me to see Bill Clinton always in a suit. I know he’s an int’l spokesperson of sorts (a la Kissinger) and the husband of a presidential nominee contender, but being bedecked in a three-piece at the World Cup final threw me off. Not that I thought he should have worn a green & yellow Brasil jersey…

Zubaz- Guys, need I say more?
Midriff baring tops- especially midriff baring tops paired with Turbo-slut low-riders while sporting muffin-top AND Camel Toe.
Thong underwear that is worn purposely visible above previously said Turbo-slut jeans.

DeafLinux, you’re lucky your workplace is casual. I do, however, believe there is some degree of decorum that should be followed on campuses, even by students. I have taught at three different universities and have had students show up to class wearing pajama bottoms and fuzzy slippers. In the middle of winter. Likewise pajama bottoms with flip flops, no socks, and bra-less spaghetti-strap tops IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. In Minnesota, for god’s sake. Now geez, students, I know that your nice cozy dorm room is probably only a few hallways away and you probably just rolled outta bed.. can’t you at least put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt?

Last but not least, makeup. I once had a student who wore such horrifying, thick, and heavy black eyeliner that she looked uncannily like the imagined ghouls in the movie “The Excorcism of Emily Rose”– Ya know, the ones that gape evilly and their eyes run black goo. Creepy and horribly distracting while trying to teach.

We are an Information Technology shop and a lot of coders are wild they dress like hippies. The university itself is liberal and open-minded.
