1985

Todays topic will be about the fashion here or lack there of.  There is so much to tell I am not sure where to start.  I guess I will start with scrunchies.  Yes I said scrunchies.  I have not seen so many scrunchies since I was in 7th grade.  When I saw the first one I thought maybe it was just a bad seed, we have those in the states, but nooo they are everywhere.  They even carry them in the stores.  I mean really.  Which this leads to the next trend.  Apparently they are a decade behind here.  It feels very much like an eighties flash back.  Now since I was so young in the eighties I have to go by movies and pictures because my memory is a little foggy.  I have seen acid washed jeans, high waisted jeans (not in a good since more like that gave you a major wedgie or camel toe) muscle shirts and my favorite of all JORTS.  They are every where.  This place has been invaded by them.  And i would say 95% of them are with the tank top and the occasional muscle tee with the rhinestones.  Yes these are men wearing the rhinestones.  Yesterday I saw a man where gym shorts, tank top, white socks, and dress shoes.  I thought maybe just a fashion blunder then I looked to my right and saw another one.  Coincidence… I think not.  

The mullet seems to be making a come back here or maybe it has never left.  But it is not really the men that are sporting the mullet.  It is the women.  Yes the women.  Every time I see a mullet I think of my dear friend Melissa.  She once said that a mullet was the best of both worlds.  "Business in the front and PARTY in the back!"  And the little boys are following the trend with the rat tail.  Not quite ready for the mullet but trying to get there.t 

Last night leaving the Harry Potter movie I saw a girl in cute white dress, but what possessed her to wear the black thong with it.  Like nobody will notice that.  Yes the poor undergarment choices are rampant here.  

And I cannot leave out the man purse.  Or European satchel as some would say.  You seem them in every shape and style.  But my favorite is the woman's purse.  Yes I have seem many men carrying a woman's purse.  There was a guy next to me at Sbarro with a silver blingy bag.  Luci asked if it was his girlfriends and then we realized, no it was his.  

And with fashion I will have to talk about the PDA here.  I have seen more displays of public affection here in two days than I have all last year.  Yesterday at Red Square I swear the man was going to swallow her.  But her leg was so into it I am not sure how she was standing.  It is everywhere, on the metro, in the mall at the food court, walking down the street.  EVERY WHERE!  

I am sure this will not be my only post on fashion for it seems I keep thinking of more stories to tell.  I will have to try to post some pictures for y'all so that you do not feel left out but I can tell you if you imagine something bad then it is probably spot on.  

so to be continued....
