A guy can't buy clothing for his gurl because there is no conversion table between men's and women's sizes (outside of S,M,L).
From youth, guy's clothes are about actual, physical measurements (eg.,pants 32x30, shirts 16x32).
No femme has ever been able to explain to me the difference between misses and petite sizes (or why they are even broken out that way) or the arcane numbers used (She's a size 8).
Is this a part of the 'feminine mystique'?

How about I just call it Silver Lame? I just don't want people confusing it with Fantastic Four 2.

It makes me cringe when I see these kinds of videos, esp. all that silly posturing, but gotta see it in context... I can only imagine what people 50 years from now will say when they see, say, shuttershades. *shakes fist*

As for the Shutter Shades, considering they're about 30 years old already probably some hip hopper 50 years from now will bring them back again.
I love the posing in all this because the whole thing makes me think of "Blow Up" and how who ever directed this fashion shoot probably balled all these ladies and then sort of but didn't solve a murder.

I prolly need to brush up on some trends, cuz that last paragraph of yours made almost no sense to me, except for the balling ladies part. I didn't know that those ladies could shoot hoops!

They _do_ have a grasp on what people are wearing at the time. They just don't like it.

Maybe it's a way to keep their designers from commiting mass suicide, once they realize how truly boring most car designs are.
