Public Do's and Don'ts...

You've seen it. You've cringed. You've wanted to say "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm girl, why did you get dressed in the dark this morning!!?"


But this blog is dedicated to all things "Oh no she didn't" and "Very nice, very nice". Fashion faux pas, inexcusable behavior, and just down right looney.


So, please enjoy. And make sure you're not on it!



#1. Dont: Being Oblivious to the World Around You.


The signs, not one, but TWO, are posted on either side of his head that say "No Cell Phones". Apparently, he must think it doesn't apply to him and just disrespecting the establishment, OR he is illiterate.

#2 Dont: Croc's N' Socks



NO. Unacceptable. Make up your mind. Ugly rubber duck bill feet with holes, or shoes. You may not wear socks with both. This crime is mostly committed in the turn of winter to summer months, when it is dewey and moist. This is the 2007 -2008 equivalent of Birks and socks. *shudders* Dear lord. Not only are men guilty of this catastrophe. Women are culprits as well!!!




#3 Dont: Out of Towner's Apparel



Tourists. They make this lovely city go-round. I'm not hate'n on you. But please, could you dress a little more than "Pajama Night at the VFW". Here, we have a fabulous cut off denim shirt WITH hood with track pants, and what you don't see is his socks and sandal ensemble. She, with her almost matching pink cotton t and red and black track pants. Ok, if you're going to the gym, I have no problem wearing the crappiest clothes you can find. But now is your chance to catch a glimpse of how city folk hang their ties. My advice, stop look'n at .99 cent souveniers and check out the swankies on their lunch break.








#4 DO: Knowing How to Be Cute Before It Gets Creepy.



CUTE! Now, being a twin myself, I appreciate the cutesy wootsy-ness of double vision. Not only are these chic children are both girls, they are at just the right age where it is still cute. Creepy is when you're 10-17yrs old and Mommy still dresses you. But then, on the other side of the bell curve, after 18, if you and your sister both dress in slutty matching outfits, it becomes not only cute, but hot.




#5 Dont: Flower Power= Yucky




ACK. Disaster. This did not make me cheery, or gleeful. A stitched pleather nightmare. I won't get too insulting, because I have seen some amazingly ugly bags, I just happen to get this one with my camera. This is NOT a thin line between floral prints. What's hot and what's not, it's all very simple. Limit your color scheme to less than 2 primary colors. Big patterns of bigger girls, smaller patterns for smaller girls. No more than 1 floral pattern per out fit. Accented flowers on a broach or necklace is fine, stick to a solid and a pattern. But make sure your bag isn't louder than you are.



#6 Being Creepy on the Transit System


Now is not the time to wear ski masks when the entire country is on high alert for anyone with a beard or a backpack. And to mention, it wasn't even cold enough for a ski mask. The reason for masks? To preven wind burn on your face...not look like you're going to rob someone on the train. Get over it kid, you're still valet'n no matter what you've got on your face.





#7 DO: MAN-ICURES, All Men Welcomed to Grooming!

#7.5 DONT: MAN Behavior at a Nail Salon


Now I love when couples partake in one anothers hobbies, even for the sake of making the other happy. I love couples who get mani-pedi's together. But in this scenario, lets call him "Mario", is by himself. Getting a mani-pedi and talking on his cell phone, typing on his sidekick. Talk'n the talk to all the girls. Genius it is...to go to a nail salon to pick up the ladies. But then..he watches a cop start to ticket his rice rocket parked out front. And he jumps out of the massage chair with his little paper flip flops on and his painted toe nails to bitch at the cop who is citing him. Let me paint you a picture. A big townie guido shuffling in paper flip flops out side and wave'n his wet nails enough without smudging them, yelling at the cop not to give him a ticket on his kawaski. That was the last time I went to this nail salon.







Ok. So this concludes Public Do's and Don'ts. I'm sure there will be more to follow.










I wonder what my twin is doing. We should coordinate track suit outfits, crocs and socks and get out our giant flower bags. Ohhhhh goodie today is gonna ROCK.
