Has anyone else noticed this phenomena called 'skinny jeans'? They are worn by guys and girls, apparently in some circles it is cool to be sorta androgynous again. Anyway I have seen a couple girls wearing these who just should not have been and it got me thinking.
It definitely takes a certain type of body to wear these things. Seen a couple girls in them who were not fat or anything but they just didn't work at all. Ass and hips don't go well in them and an otherwise nice looking girl ends up looking really stupid. Wifey observed that teens say "this is cool so I am going to wear it" regardless of if it works for them and it takes till the 20's to figure out that even if something is 'cool' if you look stupid in it you don't get the 'cool points' but do look stupid.
I wasn't going to write about this because it doesn't really have anything to do with anything. Today I tied it to something meaningful.....
It doesn't matter what is cool or good or whatever. It matters what is cool or good or whatever FOR YOU!
If some expert says that a 1911/ G17/XLY 83 is the best pistol ever that is fine but if it isn't right for you then get something else. What is right for you is what matters. [On this specific matter I strongly suggest sticking with a popular pistol from a major manufacturer in a common caliber. There are plenty of options to fit any need but popular pistols from major manufacturers are such for a very good reason. Ditto for common (or at least pretty common) calibers are such for a reason.]
If the coolest expert says living this way in that place is best that is fine. Sure they have some great points but you need to live in the way and place that is best for you and your situation. Maybe a house with a basement on an oversized lot with a big garden in a small town is better for you than a compound out in the hinderboonies.
The bottom line is that no matter what anyone else says if it doesn't work for your situation then things are going to be dysfunctional and awkward. Major choices have far greater consequences than some girl looking dumb at the mall.

"Skinny jeans." Back in the day, we called them "tight jeans," or simply "Jordache." Accompanied by a jeans jacket and a pair of Pumas, you were set.
Brass, Trends do certainly move in a circular manner.
I have always said that the best caliber for selfdefense is the one the that you are comfortable with. If you 9mm, cool, .45acp, .357 okay. 30-06, okay, .223, alright, 303, fine, .308 fine, 7.62 X 39, go for it.
Well, you get the idea.

A woman recently told me that I should get "skinny jeans". I asked her if I was supposed to "peg" them, then laughed at her. This is a late 80's throwback to that type of clothing. Ditto with the return of "jorts". It started with the hipsters trying to be ironic, same with the resurgence of PBR.
I'm old enough to say a fad is stupid, but not so old I just get dismissed as an out of touch old fart. Like Ed Hardy shirts. They are this generation's "cross color" or hypercolor shirts. Just another way the fashion industry gets people to waste their money buying crap they don't need. It is amazing how obvious it all is when you don't watch commercials, MTV, E! or VH1.
I had a terrible time keeping track of my wallet. When cold weather hit, it would end up in any pocket I was wearing - front or back pants pocket, coat pocket inside, coat pocket outside. I was always misplacing it, and frantically searching for it. Finally decided that I had to keep it in a waist pack. I know I look like a complete nerd, but at least I always know where the wallet is.
