I just think they look trailer trash fugly.
Especially in combination with plaster paris-thick eyelashes too heavy for their eyelids to lift and buttocks wider than their shoulders! Why anyone wants to portray themselves as deformed or helpless because they're incapable of doing anything physical escapes me.

Recently I've noticed in a few TV ads showing young women with light colored dots of some sort of makeup near their eyes. Who wants to look like they have a massive zit on their face?

Well, I really don't like to be critical, BUT - older women wearing low-cut tops that reveal their saggy cleavage.

But come on. Does a size 26 really need to wear a tube top and daisy dukes in public? And it's not just larger sizes. I once saw a woman who had to be at least 70 in a mini skirt. Thin skin and purple veins in her legs just a popping everywhere.

Just stop it. But whatever......
No body shaming but old ladies need to hide their skin?

I live where it's hot and yes, we old ladies wear skirts, shorts and even sleeveless tops.

Sorry, not wearing a burka. I earned my wrinkly skin.

Let's hope that you are perfectly in shape, well groomed and dressed.

When it is 100F in the shade my dresses get shorter and shorter.

Funny in an odd way how some folk think how others should dress, act, drive, ect.....
If that's all you got to worry about, life must be perfect!

There seems to be a lack of body awareness. I don’t think it used to be this way. Instead of camouflaging their flaws, women seem to think if they ignore them, they don’t exist.

Personally, as I’ve grown older, I’ve had to give up sleeveless tops and shorts. I used to have fabulous legs and firm arms, but now I have lumpy, old lady legs, and flabby arms. Your welcome.

I think people should dress for comfort.... so when it's 100 degrees under the shade, then wear short sleeves, tank tops, shorts, skirts, etc.

Who cares if your body isn't our society's biased "ideal".

When I was a teen I was ashamed of my "chicken legs". So even if it was a zillion degrees in the Summer i wore jeans.

As you get older you realize that is just being superficial and foolish.

As long as you cover your bits, who cares how much skin you show when it's blazing hot outside?

I am done living up to expectations. As long as I remember I was told that I am too short and too fat at 5:11 and a US 8. If you ever look like your mother - that hurt at 16. I was a BMW until I gained weight in my 50s. There is such a thing as cleavage! Shorts have never been my thing. Give me a short skirt! As long as SO gives his approval the rest does not matter!

Well…I guess now that I’ve moved, urban wear. Joggers are fine for a jaunt to the store. It’s not formalwear. Nor are crocs (something I would never have guessed would be popular in the ghettos like here?). Yoga pants are equivalent to joggers, I suppose. And do we really need to walk down the street in crop tops and short shorts when it’s like 77*? It doesn’t get hot here. There’s a lot of sneakerheads culture up here to which is a weird one for me, but then again I’m “special” in that department because I loathe wearing shoes, so the whole sneaker culture is anathema for me.

This is a unisex one: I really don’t like pants tucked into socks or boots.
