For the first time since early June*, I’m wearing pants today. Now it feels strange to have fabric against my legs again. This happens to me every year but I’m not complaining. I love autumn and the cooler temperatures. I just wish it wasn’t going back up to the 80’s again by Monday.<\/p>\n
This evening is the latest Gay Boston Bloggers dinner (or is it technically Queer Boston Bloggers)? I don’t know – all of these damn politically correct names and acronyms (GLBTQ) just make me feel old. And while we’re on the subject, what’s up with all of these younger whipper-snappers wearing ridiculously over-sized t-shirts lately? I mean, for the past decade I’ve seen over-sized jeans and t-shirts on teens – part of the whole hip-hop culture, I’d guess. That I could handle.<\/p>\n
But in the past two weeks I’ve seen boys\/teens wearing these t-shirts that are just long. I mean, they’re definitely over-sized, but they’ve also\u00a0got this silly length to them that brings them down past their knees. They MUST be specifically designed to be long because I can’t imagine finding such an item even in a “big and tall” shop. They remind me of what those Valley Girl dresses from 1982\u00a0must have looked just\u00a0before they\u00a0were cinched around the waist by a big belt. Remember that look?<\/p>\n
