Modern day clones

Why is it that almost every teenage or even worse, college aged chicks look exactly alike? They wear these skinny jeans or tiny skirts with tank tops and Ugg boots (which really should be outlawed) or flip flops. Where did the identity go in the world? I hardly see anyone unique anymore except those who try WAY too hard to stand out. If you want attention just ask for it! Any who, back on subject. I see these groups of girls walking around and it's like their a little gang of badly dressed, not really tough clones. They walk the streets and I honestly want to get my eyes checked because I keep thinking I'm seeing in multiples!

The other day James and I were at Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucca Valley, CA. We (and another older gray haired guy) were leaving the store just as a mother, kiddo and teenage girl were entering. The mother was carrying the kiddo and the teen girl was walking behind her. The teen had on the TINIEST stretchy black shorts (I say shorts b/c I think that's what they were supposed to be) that looked EXACTLY LIKE a pair of "boy shorts" ladies underwear. She was SUPER thin (maybe 80 lbs). The top that accompanied the "shorts" was a white t-shirt, knotted in the front to show her naval. Her butt cheeks were hanging out of the wannabe shorts. The mother didn't seem to care at all! The worst thing was that the gray haired guy (who exited with us) was staring at her quite intently. I can't say for sure what he was thinking but I sure have an idea by the look on his face! I would bet she wasn't more than 15 years old.

Why would the world teach girls that this type of "fashion" is acceptable or worse, required?! When I was young the worst I ever wore were shorts (yeah actual shorts) with long sleeve shirts. It was the "style" at the time. It wasn't the most attractive thing but at least I was appropriately covered. If I had ever walked out of the house looking like modern girls then my mom would have beat clothes onto my skin. I really wish girls would wake up and realize that more skin doesn't equal more respect. It gets you attention but it's definitely NOT the type of attention they should want. I hold parents mostly responsible for the young teens because if they can't work then they have no money and if they don't have money then they can't buy those clothes- so who buys them? You do have a say over what they wear and yes, she might get mad but at least she's less of a target for nasty predators or "cool older guys that think shes funny and doesn't want anything in return for giving her a ride".
