I love the beautiful embroidered saris and also kimonos. Wearable art. Seems like the blue-jean generation tries to wear the most boring clothes possible--even I like the Gap, but you know what I mean. Reminds me of the poem, "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple." Does anyone have a copy of that poem?
I do like the variety we have here, though. I enjoy matching, or changing, my mood with my clothing. If I am having one of those PMS days, the ones where I feel fat and ugly and pimply and wrinkly and old, I wear silk, or a sleek business suit. And full makeup. Changes my mood instantly. When I feel a little wild, I wear red, or my black zip-up shirt. When I feel at peace, or just want to be pretty, I wear blue.
I feel sorry for men. I was at Disney on Ice today, and in the grand finale, each "Prince" wore a completely different style from history. They wore white embroidered with gold, and they were all so classy and lovely. Modern men don't have much choice. It makes me happy to see people like Dave Smith wearing color and texture. Go Dave!
