summer clothing

[cimorene]

there are an astonishing wealth of persons dressed in an astonishing variety of astonishingly unflattering clothing. i think summer is just the season of ugliness, apparently. don't they have eyes? i notice shoes the most--there's no variety of shoe so much given to being ugly and awkward as sandals. but then, there are ridiculously bad shirts, utterly off-putting skirts and shorts, and the most bizarre belts imaginable. and in the strangest combinations. i wish i could reconstruct their thought processes while dressing. "mustard yellow must go with everything, because it's really just dark khaki, and blue is always a good color, no matter the bizarreness of the print or the silliness of the cut. and i think i'll top all of this off with... a silver chain-link belt!" we're not even going into the shoes in that instance. i spend way too much time wincing in warm weather.

..no matter how blindingly offensive or abhorrently incompatible their garb may be, can you in your wildest nightmare imagine the scene if nakidtude were the accepted norm...ggaaaaagghhh

sensitive folks everywhere would be plucking out their own eyes rather than be continually subjected to the horror show of lumps and rolls, nasty protuberances, uncontrolled wads of flesh slipping and sliding against each other as the clueless walk about on their foolish errands, displaying matted and tangled body hair; nor let us forget to mention the sharp and pointy bones of the seriously emaciated, with their paper thin skin affording an almost unobstructed view of the internal organs proceeding with their various bodily functions --

the scene would not be a pretty one, indeed --

we must therefore be joyous with hallelujahs, amens, and vigorous hand clapping all in the praise of clothing, no matter the color, the syle, or even the condition of cleanliness
