Well, considering how many bad neighborhoods I've lived in, here's a few suggetions: 1) A texture can make a BIG difference here. Most "bad street girls" do NOT wear clothes that look brand-new. Try putting a little (not a lot) of wear and tear into the clothes. 2) If you're going to use tennis shoes, try something that looks branded (like Nike or Adidas or Converse). Also, low-tops are more common than tennis shoes in the 'hood. ;) 3) A jacket. Even in hot weather, it's common to see bad gals wearing jackets or windbreakers with sport team emblems, shoe sompany emblems, etc. These things will really help bring out that "in the 'hood" look. :) mr_sanity P.S.: I disagree with Jim Burton, if anything, the jeans should be MORE BAGGY. All the better to hide stuff in, if you get what I mean...
