I teach college English and I sorta/kinda remember being around college during the late sixties and early seventies...and I still find myself asking some of my students "do your folks know you leave the house dressed like that?" I'm wondering when it became appropriate to wear pyjamas to class.
Middle-age doesn't sell in a fantasy induced comatose world. The illusion of youth does. Sadly, we of the middle group don't see ourselves the way those who design and construct props and other Poser items see the market. It's a cause for sadness, really.
I've always been a larger person, never been a "GQ" sort of guy, but I love good clothes properly tailored. Perhaps someone with skills and talents will take up the gauntlet and make pretties for the rest of us.
