A saw a fantastic pair on Saturday who might be up for fashion prison, but would probably be found not guilty by reason of insanity.

Two women, Japanese, about 18-20 years old. Both had very dark tans, bleached-blond hair, and very thick, light-colored makeup. The clothes, though, were what really set them apart.

One was dressed in a rather baggy (legs starting somewhere around knee-level) full-body Pikachu outfit, complete with ears and tail. Her friend was in a similarly-styled hamster costume. I think what made me laugh the most is that the way they walked around, smoked, squatted and talked made it pretty obvious that they viewed themselves as the biggest, baddest bitches on the island, who were dressed up like a pair of giant cartoon characters because that’s just how damn cool they were.

Those baggy, wild-patterned pants that were popular for men in the early 1990s.

Any ordinary-cut T-shirt large enough to fit comfortably over my boobs will dangle straight down off them, leaving a 3-inch airspace between the hem and the front of my stomach. It looks messy and is about as flattering as the average graduation gown, not to mention drafty. And I’m not allowed to tuck this in so people can tell I have, you know, an actual waistline?

> Sure, one solution is the more fitted “babydoll” cut, but since I’m 32, hot pink shirts with 2" diameter cap sleeves and the word “BRAT” written across the front in magenta sequins aren’t really my thing. And usually I have to sift through racks of those before I can find any in a color or style I’d wear.

> Gee…I think I’ve found my Fashion Police defendants: Companies who won’t make T-shirts that people older than 15 might want to wear - without tucking in, eh?

Old Navy makes plain color baby doll T-shirts out of soft stretch cotton that wears well in a variety of necklines and colors. Its a good world.
