I agree that college-age women who dress like men are wasting their best years, and I suspect that they will look back in regret and some embarrassment at photos of themselves from that era when they dressed like dockworkers. Another trend that I hope is coming to an end is this fad of piercing and tatoos - especially those horrible "Tijuana License Plates" type of tatoos across young womens' lower back. *shudder*MnMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110007186831549266noreply@blogger.com
