Out of Towners

Added: 3 months ago

When we our later years of high school, we were moved, albeit only for one school year, to a small town about 45 minutes north of the city where I grew up. We were a ‘city kid’ for lack of a better term, - we wore trendy clothes, dressed like our older brother and his friends, and even at a young age made a lot of our own clothes – a sort of mix of hip hop and skater if you can imagine it.  To our disappointment, the students at the school didn’t take too well to the new kid and her funky clothes. I spent the better part of 11^th grade eating lunch in the art room and developing photos for my photography class during my spare classes. It was the late 90’s, you know, not the 70’s, yet people acted as if the way I dressed meant I came from another planet. Suffice to say, I grew a tad bit jaded in regards to my view and critiquing of the fashion sense of those who live outside of metropolitan areas.

It was, much to my surprise, refreshing to join a friend out in the country as local club night where they had brought him to DJ. I really did half expect overalls and stirrups, and not in the trendy cool way you have seen them as of lately in some fashion magazines. It came as shock, when I bumped into a few people that could have rivaled some of my city friends, or at least were examples of some pervious supper conversation. Read on.

 Somehow or another it came up over supper that the drunker guys get the lower their pants go and the more crooked their hats get. don't be surprised to see your friends hat simply hanging off his ear the next time he leaves the bar. (FYI this guys was super sweet and this pic doesn't do him justice.)

 

This girl was just the cutest, curviest sweetest person I met and so adorable you just wanted to hug her to death and ask her if your mom could call her mom to find out if you can come hang out after school and trade clothes.

 

In a skate/show type town (the hills were a hop skip and a jump away) T-shirt, jeans and fitted cap were pretty much the uniform, until we saw this Dapper Dan gettig down with ladies on the dancefloor. We would have asked him to slow dance, but they were only playing electro.

 

This pop tart was so relaxed and so easy going interesting to watch. The kind of person you just want to get to know because they look like the FEEL good. And she drinks beer out of a bottle. Come on.

 

I mistakingly thought these two were BFFs but it turned out they didn't even know eash other until I asked them to stand together. Maybe we sparked a new friendship, who knows! Love that polka dot dress though.

 

In our eyes, you can never, ever go wrong with a men's white dress shirt on a lady.
