For every day of sweaty discomfort here, I'm going to hope for two rainy days in Kenya for you.
I wish that whatever %age of my time in Kenya is crap weather is the same percentage of time that you experience crap weather in the Valley.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Watching "What Not to Wear" on TLC, I'm surprised by how many people (both men and women) in their 20s and 30s still dress like they did in high school and college. The number of women in their mid-20s that they've had on who still insist on wearing "classic-era" Britney-wear is mind-boggling.

that skin was bulging out everywhere.
Yes, this. If you've got curves, wear clothes that shape them, not clothes that smoosh them. My sister is terrible for this. She's at least an F cup, but refuses to wear anything over a D, so she ends up with four boobs.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's amazing how far some people will go in their dressing younger. Makes some people look like they are wearing Halloween costumes. And I don't mean that in a good way.

When I started drifting back into wearing knee-length skirts with fluffy petticoats, I tried on an outfit and asked Pete "So, is this too ... mutton disguised as lamb? Am I in danger of looking like one of Those Women?"
He reassured me that if I did try to wear anything that made me look like an idiot, he'd tell me. So far he hasn't yet.

Good man. I honestly wonder how women who are obviously still dressing from the "juniors" department get out of the house.

What counts as obvious junior? Because I do shop in juniors on occasion. But I also have a reasonably high disregard for what I look like on my own time.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
I pretty much still dress the way I did in high school and college. Well, except that I've stopped wearing things that are four or five sizes too big.
But jeans in one's actual size and t-shirts are pretty much ageless, right?

Pants and skirts that are lengths meant for non-growth spurt having people. Also, pants and skirts that are cut for girls who don't have hips yet on women who do.
Tank tops or tees are different, provided they fit right and aren't too tight.
