As
I wait outside the High School at 3pm each afternoon I am fascinated by
the dress or lack thereof and the current teen fashion sense. The
individuals stick out like wonderful unusual flowers amidst the same,
TV inspired, lemming like fashion. The one difference however in this
sameness is the consciously visible thong-string or boxer -band. The
prudish “hide all” but “ leave something to the imagination” has gone
to be replaced by a full on, in your face sexuality. As Hot Pants were
risqué when I was a kid, so Thongs have taken their place along with
Tattoos as the new shocking fashion statement for some of these new
young people. I watch in horror and awe wondering what the future holds.
