I just don’t get the way girls dress when they go out to the bars.Not that I am the fashion guru of the world, but at least I have the common sense not to go wearing clothes from Frederick’s of Hollywood to Maxwells on Friday night when it’s three degrees outside.What the heck are they thinking? Time for a big ol’ reality check.As I was walking home late Thursday night, I noticed these ridiculously clad females strutting down High Street, looking more stupid than fashionable.And then they wonder why they get sick by Monday morning. Hello! You can’t expect to stay warm in four inches of fake black leather and a skimpy mod baby tee.Another thing is their choice of shoes; they are these four-inch chunky heeled things that are a guarantee for a broken ankle.What is even funnier is to see these pseudo-women attempting to carouse from bar to bar on slick, slushy sidewalks. Just watch me laugh as they grab onto each other so as not to fall into the street – heck, they deserve to break an ankle for displaying so little common sense.To ease these girls into reality, I will be the one, surely not the first, to inform them that we live in Ohio. Now, please ladies, say it with me: Ohio, a cold, snowy domain not suitable for impractical shoes and summer-like clothing in the dead of winter.Please, for those who this applies to, write this 100 times a day and maybe you won’t make a fool of yourselves this weekend.Finally, the last gripe I have to make is about those who wear those stupid baby backpacks. I know that fashion is a personal choice every woman has got to make for herself, but this is one trend I simply don’t get.The backpacks look like their sized for an 8-year old girl not a 20-something woman. They fit into the same category as knee socks, baby doll dresses and those annoying little barrettes girls clip into the sides of their skulls. Once again, hello! Are we in college or back in grade school?Yes, this is a fashion statement, an opinionated way to say something about yourself, but there is a point where fashion becomes ridiculous. And this crosses that line.So, I guess a person could say I am prejudiced against certain styles. Or you could say I am just irritated in general so I decided to lash out on those unsuspecting girls circling High Street on the weekends hoping to pick up a man.But it’s my opinion. I simply cannot stand the way people dress sometimes. Especially if the outfit entails anything impractical or meant for a prepubescent youth.
