Turban Explorer

I'm lounging by the pool at my hotel gym and some fat guy, in speedos, on an adjacent sunbed keeps eyeing me up. He's just heaved his burly blubber away to show me his buttocks and inadvertently revealed a sort of red Indian plaited fish tail coming out of the back of his head... The fashion police should clearly incarcerate this loser in Guantanamo but it begs the question what is the most ridiculous fashion faux pas you've seen in Oz?

Wearing leopard print/snakeskin/zebra print tops and leggings, with a crocodile handbag and really tarty bootcuff shoes, especially when you are over 60, or was that just sun exposure to give the leather look and dayglo orange lips???? (shudder)

And you're the fashion editor of Vogue? Who really gives a shit what someone else wears? Maybe he looks at you and thinks you're a loser because you don't have a fish tail. Or maybe just judgemental when you nothing about him.

Long socks with flip flops (so not a good look).

The infamous mullet.

I'm so over the rest.

What a triumphantly premenstrual rant! If you don't want to join in what is obviously tongue in cheek don't.....

Pollyana

In which case he can start a thread himself. Have to say he sounds pretty vomit-inducing to me........



(and I'm well aware that I look like a total complete fat loser, so I reckon I'm allowed to comment! )

As far as I'm aware this is a free internet forum. You don't get to choose what threads people post on. And not got PMS, just don't like people who judge others to be "losers" based solely on looks.

It's not 'looks' but his choice to shave his head entirely bald yet leave a 3cm spot of hair a metre long and plait it.... There is no need to take the term 'loser' so literally

dorothy could you please chill out?

Low waisted jeans and guts hanging out ALL the way round. Seriously? Dont these people have mirrors!?

Sunday at Nobu in Melbourne - Older woman - probably late 60's in about 6inch platform shoes, a short dress, hair pulled back completely off her face with thick make up and a very large perspex designer 'piece' round her neck. She was very attractive for her age and you could see she would have been stunning when younger (probably model material). However, she just looked a bit sad to me - mutton and lamb springs to mind, especially when she walked out tottering on those heels. A fractured hip in the waiting I think.

Sorry Hevs, that could've been me! I'll wear a longer shirt next time!

I'm having trouble find jeans that aren't low- or mid-waisted. I've always had high-waisted jeans (well not quite as high as Simon Cowell's before you ask). However after putting on 10 lbs in the past year, I'm in need of larger jeans and trousers. Prior to my weight gain, I hadn't had to buy new jeans for 15+ years!

My requirements are simple, well, I think so anyway, you don't have to agree! Where can I find reasonably priced zipper-fly regular-fit women's blue denim jeans**? I've searched all of Hong Kong and Brisbane in the past 10 months and still am not happy with what I've seen so far. I put it down to the fact that what I want is not fashionable and therefore nobody makes them. However someone not long ago said to me that high-waisted jeans were back in fashion and that all the designers were making them. But have you seen how high they are and the price tags?!?!?! Simon Cowell would've been proud of them.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

** Not button-fly, not baggy, not slim-fit, not acid washed, not boot-cut, not stretchy, you get the idea...

ebay UK? Seriously, I buy all my jeans from the UK cos I have such a fat gut I look worse than usual on low waisted ones. Mine either come from UK ebay or from Evans in the UK, over the internet. Also Asda when I'm back hom to get them. Not saying that you need UK ones cos you have a fat gut but I find a much better fit in the ones from home, as well as higher waists

I've seen what I might consider crap fashion all over the world. Australia is way behind in the bad looks department compared to the departure lounge at Stansted or Luton in the holiday season.
