No pants, thank you

My image of what California girls were with their big blonde hair, gleaming smiles and volleyball playing bodies clad in low-rise bikinis made from fabrics like crocheted yarn and faux fur with lots of padding everywhere, has been replaced with American Apparel-esque, fashion-less Lycra mini everything with cheapy slouchy boots and knock off stiletto strappy sandals without and an ounce of glamour.  Shame on LA girls.  

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a girl without her pants.  There is just a proper way to pull off looking like a tramp without looking like a tramp.  Unfortunately the masters at this are too far and few between so we end up with a bunch of photocopies of photocopies of collages of pieces that someone saw on someone that they thought looked good, but then upon their attempt to translate it at home it just came out all wrong.  It’s like how a real nurse is kind of sexy.  But sexy nurse on Halloween just hurts.
