Dress Code: Zippo By no means am I a fashion geek nor have I ever been considered well- dressed above average - at least due to European standards, but what I have been seeing here on this continent is just not good at all. People's taste as far as dressing well here is truly in their rear ends, generally speaking. Apparently it is not that they didn't know how to dress up for certain occasions. They just choose not to. Don't get me wrong, I do see fashionably dressed men and women every now and then, but the gross of folks especially in the non- urban areas as it seems shows no care in the world when it comes to clothing. Let's start with the guys of whom too many roam around in too baggy pants with their butts hanging out. And believe me, neither a skinny nor a super- sized fanny looks good in this sloppy gear. Shirts, Ts, and specifically tank- tops don't usually go too well with those blue jeans if they hide a super- hairy chest, bad tattoos and a fat gut. The shoes are overall anything but appealing but boost athlete's foot and bad posture. And as if that was not enough yet, lots of studs' heads have obviously grown into their oh so beloved baseball hats. No wait, we are not done yet. On top of all that, two out of three males run around with a hygienic understanding of a rock. Smelly, toothless wonders with a five o' clock shadow on their faces and fingernails as if there were just no such tools as clippers here. Indeed a female's full- blown turn- off! Would you think that the ladies match those beast- like appearances to a T? In fact, from a general point of view they do. The average US- female wears a pant size 16 but weirdly enough often sticks with the most disadvantageous and least fitting cuts on the planet. There are literally tons of big girls out there with cellulite from their bye- bye arms down to their back boobs and further down to their muffin tops to their thunder thighs to their cankles. Why is it always those biggies that promenade in the tightest leggings, jeans, T- shirts, blouses, jackets, and coats? What an eye- soar this is particularly when certain accessories such as the handbag is shaped like a sheet of painter's canvas. What cracks me up though is the petite and girly footwear on those extra large girls. Another mismatch. The worst fashion faux- pas however are mini- skirts above huge dimply knees, 3XL- sized sports shirts, baggy polyester leisure pants, sleeveless blouses preferably worn by women with flabby arms, and tank- tops over bra- less, dangling bells. Lots of girls are skinny but dress like slobs or even worse like sluts and beyond that don't seemingly spare much time second- guessing their dental hygiene either - for different reasons though. Okay, now take a look at those many poorly dressed men and women of all ages. You seriously anticipate the next generations to change at the drop of a hat just like that? Not gonna happen -unfortunately, I gotta say. I love vacationing in Europe because my eyes get the so long desired break as I watch stylishly dressed people walking down the streets.
You go to a theatre and put on the Ritz just like everyone else. However, here you stick out like a sore thumb among a crowd of leisure and casual gear lovers. I am totally not impressed with the dress codes here, even though as I mentioned at the very beginning, I am not into fashion myself really.
So what does this tell you?- Please post your comments as I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Ridiculous!

Ridiculous!   - A belated Hello back to my blog! - I was writing this a few days ago as we were sitting on the plane to Chisasibi in the far north east of Quebec, Canada. We flew out of Montreal which is definitely not a small town airport. Anyways, what we went through was the epitome of aggravation. Having been to many airports already, I'm kind of used to the generally time- consuming ordeals starting with the self- check- in counters, security check points, passport controls, mile- long jogs to the gates, baggage claim, customs, etc. I really thought I'd seen it all - until last Monday morning. After surprisingly having been checked in by an actual person, we were finally headed towards Departures. I could not believe my eyes once we turned around the corner and spotted hundreds of passengers waiting in line. What the heck?! First, we were funneled in what seemed half a mile away from the actual security check point and then driven in long snake lines just like cattle. I g...
Money Destroys The World   - This morning's news segment about a supposedly renowned US dog breeder corporation having neglected thousands of dogs has once more proven that quality is sacrificed for the sake of quantity which is linked to the sad fact that everything revolves around money only.  In order to increase and multiply profits, more volume of less quality has become the clearly chosen option everywhere. No doubt, we are dealing with a huge problem on a global scale, but still I feel that this country doesn't even bother masking the issue at times. That's just not fair towards the people here! Lies and false promises are the epitome of hypocrisy, all for the sake of making more money. Absolutely sickening! Just imagine, you would like to purchase a dog from a good breeding stock, and you are willing to pay more, but what you get is often not what you've been promised, no even worse guaranteed. The worst thing though, the paper work assures you that things are o...
Jung, Dumm Und Gelangweilt   - Ein herzliches Hallo an alle! - "Äffe nach, was du siehst", fällt mir augenblicklich dazu ein, wenn ich an den neuesten Trend denke, der gerade wieder einmal das Internet unsicher macht. Die Rede ist hierbei von der sogenannten "Zimt- Herausforderung". Alles klar? Das soll eine Herausforderung sein. Zweifelsohne richtet sich diese dümmliche Probe an junge Menschen, um genau zu sein, an Kinder und Teenager. Wieder einmal setzt unsere Jugend wegen einer doofen Mutprobe ihre wertvolle Gesundheit achtlos aufs Spiel. Diese Mal wiegt der Gruppenzwang schwer, sich idiotischer Weise darauf einzulassen, einen gehäuften Löffel an Zimtpulver ohne jegliche Flüssigkeit hinunter zu schlucken. Warum erstaunt es mich kein bisschen, dass sich Berichte wie "Mission Unvollständig" oder "Mission Unmöglich" häufen, sprich zahllose dumme Anhänger hinterher in Spitalspflege aufgenommen werden müssen? Jedes Kind sollte bereits im Kindergar...
