Makes Me Wonder
I think the world is really getting to be a freaky looking place. Last week I went mall hopping with some friends, and I took in some of the crap the kids were wearing, and they looked like they had come out of an orphanage run by Sharon Osborne. What's with all the shredded jeans, hoodies, black skull underwear, and red highlights? I'm sorry, I must have missed the memo that the latest fashion trend was to look like the walking dead.

It's not just the clothes that got me thinking - it's everything about the 'MTv' generation. Their clothes, their music, their look - everything just sort of screams out at you. Even their role models have changed - anorexic looking women and hip-hop wannabes are what they adore. In a society totally obsessed with body image, the 'generation next' is heading straight for the downhill plunge. I remember when Peter Andre hit the scene so many years ago - the sight of a half naked man with ripped abs scared the shit out of us. Now, that's the image we've come to accept as the norm, with the girls trying their best for a size zero figure. I mean what the hell is a size zero anyway? Is that someone who has been steamrolled flat?

Ibn Battuta Mall is a much more sane place than MoE which is home to all sorts of freaks. The other day, with Abeer I saw so many of them! There was this guy wearing shining golden shoes. Another with a similar cap. Some guy with really ugly butt-hugging jeans. Argh.. I was so glad to be inside a dark cinema hall for 2 hours after seeing all that.
