mannequins with ginormous patches of pubic hair

43. Every fault's a fashion, as they say. Though that's the "norm" for anyone of a certain age.

People are getting sick of all this ripping and waxing and so forth--they want to return to the delightful days of the free-wheeling "hippie" era, when everyone let it--all of it--hang out!

It's one way to economize, certainly...of course, the male of the species has not suddenly, naturally lost all that back hair and chest hair--they're into this self-torture too ... some of those fellows allow themselves to be ripped to shreds at the "waxing parlor" as well, because some jerk in "The Fashion Industry" decided that this was "cool" and anyone who doesn't go along is "out of fashion."

It's why hemlines go up and down, hair gets long, then short, why heels get thin and tall, or wide and chunky, why lapels get big and then small, why ties go from narrow and lean to Steve Harvey Massive, why shoulder pads get big or disappear, why pleats arrive and leave, why waistbands roam from hip to rib cage....

It's because people who manufacture clothes wanna make money. Same deal with hairstyles--the more complicated, the better, because that means a bigger payday!

The waxing parlors will be losing a bundle on this new-old "style," though! They'll have to perhaps indulge in something new--maybe indulging in the art of topiary? What's your pleasure? A heart? A shamrock? Perhaps a diamond? Braiding? Beading? Who knows what they will come up with?

Hell, I thought I'd seen it all back when people were wearing see-through jeans!!!! People actually had a big piece of clear plastic on the ass of their jeans, so one could see their behinds...and yes, that was a "fashion" for a brief moment...

They made a movie about it, too-- but over a decade after it actually happened the first time round!!

What people will do to look "cool!"
