Youth Of Today

Over the weekend I met up with my friend Ned (not his real name*), a good friend from home who is in town for a conference. We met at his hotel in downtown LA where interestingly enough the Miley Cyrus concert was happening next door. This is a very nice hotel, however Ned was surprised that there were so many prostitutes hanging around in the lobby. He was even more surprised when I pointed out that they were not prostitutes, just Miley Cyrus concert goers.

Good news for us - 2 hours of quality people watching and building up our list of "What Not To Wear".

• No tutus**
• No leotards - I really wasn't expecting this one. Feel like the skirt might have fallen off in the taxi but she seemed awfully comfortable strolling around the Marriott. Nice sparkly silver jacket though...
• Shorts that don't fit. Seemed very popular item. Must also come up higher than one's crotch. I know, doesn't seem possible. In some cases, it wasn't possible but didn't stop them trying...
• Silver bra.  Apparently a stand-alone item.  Who knew.
• Extreme wedge heels. Which is fine.  As long as you know how to walk in them.  Some very weak ankles out there.  There is a right and wrong way to walk in sky high heels - if you look like a new born calf trying to stand, you're doing it wrong.

*Ironically this is not his real name, however this is what we have always called him so even thought it is an alias, I have now blown his cover. Sorry Ned.
**Maybe I can rock one from time to time but Ned felt it was a little much for him and he might have to shave his legs. I said why bother - they hadn't...
