VANITY CLARITY

I'm sitting at this Café facing the street, and i have all the time to kill while sipping one generous flush of caffeine after another. Actually, i was impatiently waiting for a very important call.. from a certain truck-driver-turned-company manager.


So I am sipping coffee and looking out the window. Well this is what they must have meant about people taking time to sniff the flowers. I am observing every men, women, boy and girl on the road. Dogs, and other he, she and her-shes included. They got my attention.


Sue me for concluding on this, but every dude on the street thinks he is 'the dude.' The gals are all dressed to make the walk and.. safely presumed! they think 'all eyes are on me.'


Pants, skirts, kiras and ghos...


They really seem to style the person's to ease into walking - without fidgety and unruly scratching, pulling and pushing.


The kira drapes our damsels to the nine but it also accentuates their otherwise unshapely contours.. Ahemm.. that maybe applies to only a few on the street who still have the glaringly visible - medieval countenance. Otherwise, the attire actually complements their gait, and actually gives every one of them a signature style.


Looking at a few punk-ass teens and a crowd of what appears to me as newly sworn-in working people or fresh blood seeking a life of service, i gather that, for this portion of the pie; The gho is an uneasy opulence of fabric for the one wearing it strictly on hallowed grounds and moonlit occasions. For the other group i'm looking at.. ...mostly seasoned and sun-burnt potatoes (literally for some of 'em) the same apparel is a second skin and and i'll bet it often makes it till the dance floors of the city.


From what i have seen, i will also reiterate a thought i always shared in conversation with friends. It  always seemed to me, that the gho demands a pot belly while well rounded and big butts are mandatory for the wearer. That is so required in order that the squarish and swash-buckle look is achieved.


Well.. theory proven and unanimously confirmed.


Voila! theory proven to confirmation. The 100 plus passersby makes it unanimous.


Tight pants turn heads and the skirts do a better job at it. Its an observation but it is also a well known fact.


Hats that look like a furry animal perched on heads catch attention... and it caught mine too. Women wearing high heels look nice ... but for some it looks like its too high for them to handle. I say, *If you can't sell it don't wing it.*
