Public Display of Affection

Okay, so my DH, the Princess and I were enjoying dinner yesterday at a local casual dining establishment.  We were enjoying it, that is, until a couple of teenagers sat in the booth next to us.  After a few minutes, the young girl kissed her boyfriend on the cheek and gave him a cute smile.  His response was to give her a quick peck on the lips.  Awww, young love.

 “Awww” quickly turned to “ewww” as those sweet kisses morphed into an all-out tonsil-tasting never-ending grope session.  Since Mommy clearly didn’t teach you any better, please consider the following:

In the event my Princess one day forgets this lesson, DH and I are prepared to deliver this friendly reminder:



Remember, kids – PDA is not OK.

Men's Fashion...Um, Yeah

Once upon a time, men’s fashion looked like this:

If current trends are any indication, “cringe worthy” doesn’t even begin to describe the new definition of men’s fashion.  For your consideration:

Mantyhose – What has long been the bane of every woman’s existence is now trending for men?  They can have them. Apparently, mantyhose are all the rage in Europe, where men wear them under their clothes for added smoothness and additional warmth. I’m guessing these are not control-top hose. That would make things quite challenging at the urinal, no?

The Man Bun – Men’s hair styles, just like women’s, are ever-evolving animals.  In the case of the man bun, the species should have become extinct before this creature was spawned.  I can almost understand it for athletes like Tom Brady and David Beckham, who need to keep their long hair out of their faces, but as a fashion statement, it’s just plain silly.  Still better than a mullet, I guess.

The Cowboy Tennis Shoe by Adidas© – What dark corner of hell did these come from?  Clearly the person who was able to talk this atrocity past Adidas© executives and into production made a deal with the devil.

 

Meanwhile, back on Earth, who would wear these?  Imagine walking onto the basketball court or into a country/western bar with these on.  You’d have your ass handed to you at either place. But hey, what do I know? Maybe forward-thinkers like Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones will have their respective teams sporting these next season, perhaps with mantyhose.  Yeehaw!
