I'm a scifi geek--and proud of it! As an avid watcher of Stargate, I've got to say the 'Tokra' have it down when it comes to cool, comfy looking clothes. So do some of the other alien species on Star Trek. The only other place on the planet (in this century) where I think women have cool, comfy, looking clothes is India. I'm not talking about saris. I'm talking about salwars. They're colorful. They're modest. One can buy them fancy enough to wear to weddings or simple enough to climb trees.
The two items that really need to go out of style--and fast--are hose (for women) and ties (for men). Hose are the most constricting, itchy things. Thankfully, I only have to wear them once in awhile for 'dressing up' purposes. I will not wear them in the winter until my toes are in danger of being frostbitten!
Ties, according to John, are a pain in several ways. 1.) Just putting them on. 2.) They restrict blood flow to the brain, therefore making one more unproductive at work. 3.) They can get stuck in things like elevators and car doors.4.) They are completely unnecessary. One can look sharp in a polo shirt and slacks.
Of course, since he works in the business world, he will have to wear them from time to time. I'm so glad I'm not a secretary in a fancy office somewhere!
Why am I complaining about this now??
Winter is coming. Time to drag the hose out once again. Thankfully, I have a couple long skirts and boots that can hide the non-wearing of hose rather well.
I really wish Salwars were in style here in the States. Modest, feminine, colorful, and most of all sooooo comfortable!
ReplyDeleteAs for the tie thing. Back when I used to work for McDonalds someone had the great idea that all workers should have to wear ties, including the women! One day when I was helping a customer I accidently shut my cash register too quickly and didn't give the customer his change (rolls eyes)! In order to open it again you need the managers keys which happened to be on the maganger who was in the back of the store. (we were slow so there were no other workers near me). Problem was I had shut my tie in the cash register and could not yank it out! So there I was bellowing for the manager while the customer was trying to contain himself.
Not long after McDonalds decided the ties weren't a great idea! (wonder why)
So I'm in favour of abolishing ties altogether. I feel sorry for the men!
ROFL!!! That's the best anti-tie story I've heard yet!! I wouldn't think wearing ties would be the greatest idea--especially in the fast food industry!
