Fashion. The constant obsession over mixing and matching, colours, shades, patterns, prints, 100 different types of shoes, and bags and accessories for all the different bits of your bodies… It can be so overwhelming. Lost in the chaos of fashion’s constantly changing perception of what’s ‘In Trend’ and ‘Sooo Last Season’, many young women have become so distracted that they have forgotten the most basic and very important point – wearing real pants.
Just the other day, as I was enjoying the sea breeze in Quayside, Penang with an old friend; I saw it. A tall, fair young lady walks past me in a bright red T-shirt dress… which unfortunately turned out to be too short to be a dress and too long to be a t-shirt. The poor woman was oblivious to the fact that her maxi, white, lacy underwear was brazenly showing itself to the world, completely disregarding the world’s preference NOT to see someone’s lacy undies jumping out at you like a broadway star singing ‘Look at me! Here I am!’.
On numerous occasions while observing the poetic ebb and flow of tango dancers in Buenos Aires have I seen the diabolical black leggings, stretching itself out and around the wide south american hips of an unfortunate young lady, too lost in her dance to notice that everyone else has noticed her purple g-string and basically…everything else. Leggings… no, no! Mere stockings, pretending to be pants! The cheek(s)!
No more, I say!
Women, I call upon you, join me now in the Campaign for CHANGE – Cover Hips, Asses, Nether-regions and G-Strings Effectively!
