Let's talk fashion and getting up in years (Larry's fault!)

I haven't read all 5 pages yet so someone may have mentioned it already, but backward baseball caps. If you're older than about 6 the only way you should do that is if you're playing baseball and you have to turn it around to get the catcher's mask on. When I see an adult with their cap turned backwards my first thought is "there's a doofus".

but if you're hiking in the wind and don't want it blown off, that's okay, isn't it?

Spandex ANYTHING.

Ok, related to the spandex thing. I just started working out about a month or so ago, so I've just started buying good workout clothes. Now I am not a big girl by any stretch of the imagination, but the size smalls have some extra room in them. I don't get it.

Guys my age wearing bicycle shorts. That's enough to make me go stare at the sun for about an hour.

ANY MAN wearing bicycle shorts that is not actively riding or about to ride a bike has no business with spandex. Anyone that weighs more than Lenora shouldn't be wearing spandex.

Spandex are a privelige, not a right.

I wear mine backwards when I play tennis ... I like to look like Lletyon Hewitt

(I actually turn it around backwards when I serve - its the only way I can serve)

I agree, sort of- but I'm short, so people tall people who weigh a little bit more than me are ok in spandex.

when I was about 6, I wanted to go without a shirt, like the boys. my mother finally had to simply threaten me with a spanking if I took it off, because her explanation for keeping a shirt on while the boys had theirs off was falling on deaf 6 year old ears (I mean, really, when you're 6, does it really matter? )
My parents just let me run around topless (which actually might explain a lot...)

Hetero guys everywhere would like to thank you parents.

(I almost said "straight guys" but I know this crowd too well.

I'm with ya...I've always thought there was a direct relationship between backwards caps and low IQs....

It can be appropriate for some athletic activities...but as a fashion statement? No way.

I'm with you guys on the backwards cap thing . . . sideways, too.

I can't believe how many guys, not just young men, KEEP their ballcaps on in restaurants!

Some affluent women over 50 are sooooo skeletally thin these days and they wear low-cut clothing that shows rib cage and not much else except sun-damaged, freckled skin.
