More Style Atrocities

Last night, a friend and I attended “Summer Nights,” a local event featuring live music, vendor booths, food, and assorted entertainment. The streets are closed to traffic, and locals and tourists wander through town experiencing the unique personality of the Sierra foothills.

But, alas, Nevada City’s personality is not its only unique feature. Following are some of the looks I witnessed, and trust me–they were not pretty. Please keep in mind that these were all on women north of 50–or women who looked like they were.

• Super-short, African-print nylon shorts that wrapped and tied and bagged out to reveal upper thighs just short of buttocks; worn with a skimpy tank top
• Tight, black, mid-thigh shorts with black cowboy boots (This outfit was complemented by jet-black, obviously dyed hair that was cut short at the nape of the neck, had long stringy pieces on the sides, and featured a short mohawk at the crown.)
• A loose-fitting blue flowered skirt and matching handkerchief-type top that tied in the back; no bra (This little number was worn by a woman with long, gray hair and sadly yellowed teeth.)
• Too many bra-less boobs to count

I think I’d better stop here.
