Deep down, all Albuquerqueans want their city to emulate the pompous, tanned, metrosexual men in Miami and the flashy, money-hungry housewives of Atlanta.

That's pretty much the opposite of what I've experienced in ABQ. Albuquerque is pretty unique culturally, but if anything it swings more to the Portland, Austin, Brooklyn side of the scale.
Interesting list. People are always telling me I dress nice and I'm hardly a fashionista. Interesting still that I was born and raised right here in ABQ.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL I read this and laughed out loud! It's right on! But look at it this way: Unless you are a business professional working in an office DT, you don't need to dress up. Boots or tennis shoes. Jeans. A nice sweater in winter. A nice T-shirt in summer. As long as we're neat and clean -- who cares? And, yes, I've attended some 'upper' class parties and get-togethers, and, even then, people don't know how to dress here. But, again -- as long as we're neat and clean and as long as the people are nice -- who cares? Is what we wear really all that important? NM is not New York.
Cities with high degree fashion oriented people are about movers, shakers and those that have places to be../.. go to places like DC and the twentysomethings are dressed for business, politics and power.
Albuquerque is definitely unlike DC. I thank God for that every day.
