One fifty-ish mother told me that her daughter got nipple rings and for a minute she thought she would too --that was one way she thought she wouldn't lose her car keys!

We've got a lady in our office complex I swear she looks around 50. And she wears these clothes my 13 yr old neice likes to wear. She even wears stuff that shows her belly button and her belly button is PEIRCED. Got a bit of an old lady hump back going on to top it off.
She's from California.

Her miniskirts may be denimin the tradition of the Cougar (the Cougar is but one or two genera away from Teen Mom)but they are more likely short and ruffled: a style worn last year with Uggs by real, live teenagers.Certainly ughs by me. That style only flatters rail-thin girls. Everyone else just looks like a barge.

My wife complains that these teenager clothes are all taht's available in stores now. She has been looking like crazy for a pair of jeans that aren't low rise, but isn't having any luck. So her choice is to dress like a tramp or wear old, worn out clothes.

Seems to be another reflection of the perpetual adolescence of baby boomers. It's been on the inside for 30 years. Now it's showing on the outside.

Well I have to admit that I still own and wear a pair of Levi's that I bought when I was 16.....back in 1976. I also wear fairly tight, fairly short shorts.........when I'm gardening.....I dont' wear them out in public.
I'm 45 years old, not 16 and I know it....I may fit in those clothes, but I'm not going to be seen in public wearing them..........and neither will my now 7yo daughter if she knows what's good for her.

OH MY GOD!!!!!
Are you serious? People trying to look younger than they are. This is unprecedented in the history of this country. Never before has anything like this ever gone on. We're DOOOOMED! Must be the Clinton legacy.
Shocked, I say.

If they'd stop making everything out of stretch material, it wouldn't show. ;)

I have a 21 year old son. Every so often I'll say to him some particular girl seems nice, and he'll say "Mom, I'm not going out with any girl who has 'spoiled rotten' written across her chest".
I'm embarrassed when I go shopping, to see some of the things written on girls shirts.

At age 50, she probably doesn't even have to unhook the keys from said ring to drive her car.
Bit like those elastic springy things that janitors keep their keys on.
Very handy. Might even tuck it into her pocket.

Bad taste taken to the next level, theirs is a situation rich in ironythe more pains middle-aged women take to resemble young girls, the more obvious their age becomes. This is the key for both men and women - no one seems to get that dressing young makes your age obvious (40+ "surf bum" men in nightclubs look just as stupid) , while dressing in a timeless, classic style makes your age very hard to determine. You won't look 18, but you can stay "30-ish" for a very long time. ;)
