Is this a Bakersfield thing?
On my way out of town earlier this week, I stopped at a fast food joint and got this pic of a young man with several fashion DON'TS that I see around town all the time.

First, the sunglass placement.
Please find somewhere else to put your sunglasses when not in use. This upside-down-back-of-the-head thing makes people look foolish. I suppose I understand that men don't want to perch their shades on their heads like Gidget, but can it be so much more difficult and time consuming to fold them and hang them on the shirt front, or even back?

Second, the shorts.
Can someone please take all the men in Bakersfield to a store, ANY STORE, and have them try on shorts that actually FIT? I'm sooooo sick of the long baggy look. It makes men's legs look deformed. I'm not advocating Speedos here, but there MUST be a happier medium. And doesn't anyone know that "saggin" originated in prison because inmates who wanted to wear larger sizes, as they had on the outside, aren't permitted belts, hence the droopy look?

Third, calf tattoos.
Really, they aren't artistic (few tattoos are), it doesn't look "tough" since 70-year-old grandmas get them for Pete's sake, and it's hardly original since every one ELSE has them. So what is the point? (If you can't make it out in this photo, this gentleman's calf art is of flames reaching up to the back of his knee. Perhaps he is a fire walker...?)

Fourth, the shower sandals with socks.
Again, somehow a prison necessity (limiting the spread of foot rot among inmates) has been soaked up by the mainstream. Prison is about a LACK of choices, we have choices on the outside people! Please stop choosing so poorly! (And pairing any kind of sandals with socks is just such a serious DON'T!)
