Wearing pants way too low was a 90s thing. Maybe I don’t get out enough, but I haven’t seen anyone with that style in at least 15 years. And personally, I thought it was quite possibly the dumbest style ever, even dumber than the usual example of dumb style (bellbottoms).
Definitely was a thing here in Chicago usually among older folk as late as the 80s. I remember some people having those slipcovers when I was growing up at that time.
I see it regularly among people who probably weren’t even alive in the 90s.
In the Philippines better houses have a formal kitchen (just to look at), a “dirty kitchen” whivh is actually used, and perhaps a “really dirty kitchen” (outdoors) for cooking greasy food and deep frying.
The main kitchen is for the householder or more likely his wife, who might use it to occasionally bake a cake if they’re so inclined. The dirty kitchen is for the househelp, who does most of the actual cooking.
It’s a “logical” extension of getting pants so long that the lower 12 inches is dragging the ground, and wearing shoes with the laces untied. Such stylistic fashions look bad and are probably uncomfortable, but getting the right look apparently is more important than comfort.
“I don’t want him to be comfortable if he’s going to look too funny.”
My ex SIL move to Utah a couple years ago. The house she bought had 2 kitchens, it was built to meet the requirements of devout Mormons. She was told to never cook or prepare any pork in the front kitchen or she would have a hard time selling the house in the future. She uses the back kitchen for all her meal prep except she keeps her coffee maker in the front kitchen.
Why is this? Does the LDS church proscribe pork?
I’m not going to say she wasn’t told this - but it doesn’t make sense, really. Assuming your ex-SIL is not Mormon, why would a devout Mormon ( who apparently has no problem with pork being cooked in the back kitchen, only the front kitchen) believe her ? I mean, I wouldn’t necessarily believe someone who was not of my religion who claimed to follow my religious restrictions just so they could maybe sell their house someday to someone of my religion.
BS. I’m LDS myself, and there is nothing about restrictions on pork in our dietary practices. Whoever told your ex-SIL that seems to have confused LDS/Mormon (we prefer LDS) with Jewish or Moslem practice.
So do LDS houses typically have two kitchens?
Not that I’m aware of. That sounds to me like maybe more of a strict kosher arrangement in a Jewish household (note: not Jewish myself, never have been, well aware I could be misinformed on that).
The pics in this article seem pretty tame. They look like high-waisted jeans/shorts to start with, meaning even if you leave one or two buttons undone, it’s not like they’re in danger of showing underwear or hair.
What?
…you’ve never heard of pubic hair?
When I first read the article, I was wondering how the pants they’re wearing unbuttoned don’t fall down. I thought perhaps they use a safety pin, but it might just be that they have flat stomachs and the unbuttoned but zipped pants are just tight enough to stay in place.
I’m not Jewish, but I have a lot of Jewish friends. AIUI there are degrees of strictness in eating kosher. One guy kept very strictly kosher: when he got married and moved into his fiancee’s house, they had the kitchen inspected/certified by a rabbi. This involved making sure that non-Kosher products had never touched the kitchen, or that banned combinations been prepared there (e.g., beef with cheese).
OTOH my ex-boss ate kosher to a lesser extent–he would eat at a Subway which had not been rabbinically inspected, but he would never eat anything with pork, ham, a cheeseburger, etc.
The advice given to the ex-SIL sounds like the strict kosher procedures my first friend held to.
Because of the restrictions on “hot drinks”/caffeine, I would think the coffee maker in the front kitchen might be more of a concern to LDS. Would it?
If there are non-LDS or non-observant people in the household, I wouldn’t think so. The problem would be if an active, observant member of the church is consuming coffee themselves. The specific restrictions are no alcohol, tobacco, coffee, or tea. It’s strongly recommended to avoid habit-forming substances like caffeine, but that’s not a formal restriction. Use of recreational drugs, even legal ones, is also strongly discouraged for health reasons.

Models don’t have pubic hair. That’s why they become models.
They also have hips.
