Pants On The Ground

Last weekend I was out at a club and saw some of the dumbest looking people I have ever seen.

First, let me make it clear, I wasn't at the club because I was having a "hey-I'm-single-now-so-I-have-to-hit-a-club-and-find-a-new-woman-fast" moment - that's what dating sites are for (and that is a blog post unto itself). No, I was there to celebrate the 40th birthday of a childhood friend.

If you've ever been to a club, and I'm assuming most of you have, then you know exactly what the atmosphere was like - music playing at an ear-splitting decibal, people packed in so tight you couldn't pick your nose without bumping into somebody, and lots and lots of alcohol was flowing generously around the bar.

However throughout the night, I couldn't help but wonder, have we learned nothing from General Larry Platt??

If you don't know who General Platt is, he is the dude who sang the song, Pants on the Ground, during an American Idol audition a few weeks back. The gist of the song is that young men today look like fools with their "hats turned sideways and their Pants on the Ground".

Well the club I was at was full of these dumb asses and most of them were out on the dance floor. It was clear that they were having a good time (with their hats turned sideways), but they really should have thought twice before doing whatever it was they were trying to pass off as dancing - they just looked ridiculous!

But then again, what do I know?? Not only did the young women of the club seem to be impressed by the Tom Foolery (isn't it great when you can work "Tom Foolery" into a blog post?), but they actually seemed to be attracted to these dougheads!

*sigh*

There can only be two explanations - a) the women are young and still haven't figured out what a man is yet (I believe the correct term is "naive"), or b) and this is far more likely, the girls were so fueled with alcohol that even this guy would have looked great shaking his ass out on the dance floor! Actually, a couple of the guys actually looked like him!

Yeah, yeah, I know - you're going to remind me that when I was young, I had long hair and looked pretty goofy too. Well, you'd be half right.

Yes I had long hair, but we did it to look tough. Whether it worked or not, who knows. But these young men today don't look tough at all - they just look STUPID!! Lookin' like fools with their Pants on the Ground!

LOL!

Myself, my twin and my hetero-lifemate went to the Haitian benefit concert featuring Blackie Jackett Jr., Steve Strongman, Dodger and a number of other local band--as well as Finger Eleven (one of our all-time fave band).

It was held at The Studio at the Hamilton Convention Center. Now, the set up was STUPID. But that's another topic altogether.

I've recently decided to go COLOURFUL. I look like a 3 year old on uppers when it comes to my outfits. I'm inspired by Penelope Garcia on Criminal Minds (I have been compare to her for about 2 years now, and though, "Heck, might as well dress the part!"). Besides, it's fun looking all vibrant.

Anyhoo--EVERY WOMAN at this concert was wearing the same thing--tight jeans, knee high boots with pointy toes and stilletos, and a slutty tank top.

What did I have on? Jeans, comfy shoes, BRIGHT pink tank, BRIGHT yellow cardigan, BRIGHT pink '80s beaded necklace, spider earrings with purple gems, bright pink earrings, leopard print cuff bracelet, hair in pseudo-victory rolls, and a purple flower in my hair with a demon in the center smoking a cigar.

I caused a stir (people were stopping me to tell me how great I looked), I got hit on by 3 men and 1 woman, and my hetero-lifemate got one of the men to bow in my presence--and a photo of that is now on Facebook. ;)

So to those who wear a "uniform" of suckiness with no originality--BOOOOOO!

And men with pants around their asses? No matter how drunk I was, I never took one of THEM home with me--back in the day of sowing the wild oats. ;) LOL!
