They just want attention
Look at them. They'd have plenty of attention without dressing like that!!
I'll never understand why ANYBODY would wear pants that are torn full of holes. Before I retired, there's NO WAY I would have hired anybody who dressed like that!
I suppose a lot of our fashion statements back in the late '60's and '70's looked about as idiotic to our parents. Thing is, how does today's generation express their individuality? We baby boomers already went through the gamut of hair styles/lengths as well as "alternative" clothing styles ranging from super-wide bold striped bell bottoms, to repurposed military wear. What's left seems to be wild hair colors, tattoos, piercings and ripped clothes. The difference is, we could only afford cheap, second-hand clothing from Goodwill and thrift stores in the '70's while these young ladies probably spent well over a hundred dollars per pair at an expensive fashion boutique.
Fashion belongs to the eye of the beholder and fashion trends come and go with very few becoming ageless classics such as the women's "little" black dress and the man's black tuxedo. However, I simply can't get my mind around buying new jeans with worn holes in them and paying a large sum to wear the jeans that my mother would throw out when I would wear the knees out of them. I wish that I still had them all today for I would be far richer.

Amazing example!!!!
Much of what passes for fashion enables the extraordinarily pulchritudinous to flaunt the fact that they are exceptionally beautiful. Those clothing choices assert that they can even carry off either worn-out dungarees or new clothing so unflatteringly cut that it would destroy the reputation of anyone whose appearance falls in the normal ranges. The efforts of aspiring ‘normies’ to follow their fashions serves to emphasize the unbridgeable appearance gap.

Luen, all you ( and I) know about them is how they appear in this one image. I am curious why you are scared that they vote. Is it their appearance or the fact that they are holding hands? Perhaps they are scared that you vote. I wish them and I wish you a happy new year. I have enjoyed reading your posts in the past. I don' t know anything about them other than they seem to like each other which I think is good and their haberdashery style is not for me, but then my old man baggy pants look probably isn't for them either.

"enables the extraordinarily pulchritudinous to flaunt the fact that they are exceptionally beautiful," is like saying "the beautiful are beautiful."
