What a beautiful place.

When I see travelers from this hemisphere abroad, I wonder if the whole world thinks that we are all sloppy, dirty and careless of their appearance and demeanor.

The women especially look slatternly- sorry for the term, but I can't think of what else to say.

I don't mean it in the sense of vulgar or indecent... but rather in the sense of untidy and dirty.

I work at a university and the ‘style’ for young women (and OLD ones who think they can imitate this) is to look like you are really LOW maintenance. Everybody has dirty and sloppy clothes and hair....dirty shoes and ragged trouser cuffs... etc.

I am tired of looking at dirty hair... what's up with that.

I was a hippie too in college, but I wouldn't be caught dead with dirty hair or clothes.

Besides, I was never so arrogant to look in a mirror and say ‘how beautiful you are!’...’you don't need ANY help!’..NOT!! And few women are... It's time for young people to realize this.

(Sorry for the tirade)
