The whole “schoolgirl uniform” thing has never done it for me. Then again, I went to a rural public school, so there aren’t any coming-of-age associations linked to it for me. Also the aforementioned implants. Gina Carano just straight-up isn’t attractive with those things. Does ANYONE find long nails and/or tattoos sexy? ---

Why do 90% of brides, bridesmaids, girls going to prom, etc. wear their hair in some type of “up” style? It is totally unsexy. I have no idea what look they are going for besides a “look, I have no hair” style. They spend so much time on the right dress, makeup, shoes, etc. and could complete the look with a nice down style that could totally knock your socks off. Instead they blow the whole thing putting it up in some kind of grotesque bun. ---

“Porno” style blondes, with fake tits, all harloted up in a pound of makeup, hobbling about on 3 incch stilletto heels. Really any type of plastic or elective surgery, face or body (I can always tell), including lipo, botox, tucks, folds, silicone or fat injections, and GI bypass for weightloss… it’s a sick and perverted disease. ---

There’s a…butt shake movement some women do…that obviously works on some people, I don’t see it. It’s an active turn-off. ---

More votes for tattoos, fully shaven bits, body piercing and obligatory money-shots. ---

Low-rise jeans on women, low-hanging pants on men. You have a waist, find it. Piercings below the waist, including the belly button. I’m good with most others, but leave the happy parts, especially, alone, thank you. Macho blustering he-men. Thank you, no, save the posturing for when you’re alone in front of your mirror. Flip side? Simpering helpless girlies. No time for that either. Stripper heels and uberstilletos. No one can walk properly in a 6 inch heel, or a combo 5 inch heel/platform. You may claim that you can, but you can’t. And the hobbling thing isn’t cute. ---

> [@Duckster](#): > > Could we use the Wayback Machine and move ahead, say 30 years, and have all those folks with tats and body piercings today, get a glimpse of what we are seeing develop right now? Are you suggesting that there’s a backlash against tattooing and piercing, and that those people will reconsider their work? That tattoos and body piercings will fade away? There’s a backlash, to be sure, as there would be with any ascendant cultural trend, but I wouldn’t count on the rest. I think tattoos are here to stay, at least for the lifetime of anyone now living. ---
