This is kinda mean of me ...but..

I've never seen anything quite that bad in our shops in Australia ...however I have seen ladies and men go into Target,and Woolworths in their winter PJ's with no shoes on ..:eek:hwell: And that's in a country town where I live.....maybe it's just me but I really don't understand why it's so hard to change into something appropriate for shopping :shrug:

I don't get it either. You don't have to look like you just stepped out of a fashion magazine, but it seems like you could put on something halfway decent to go shopping.
 
A lot of those looks are the worst of the worst (some made to be that way on purpose)....better not to compare yourself to others. Just feel good about yourself, we're all individuals, and remember beauty's only skin-deep. :cool:


 
My brother gets so upset when he sees people in town wearing PJ pants but now I notice kids are even wearing them to school. I have trouble telling PJ pants from those cool Chefs pants anyway. :) I don't care what people wear out in public as long as they don't make me look at any of their body parts I don't want to see. :)
 
Hey, they've been at our Walmart!!! More guilty fun is the scandal rags with celebrities wrinkled, botoxed and still falling apart. You see some of them and whew, hey we're not doing bad at all.
 
The store I worked in there was a regular customer my Dad called a "19/72". From the back sprayed on jeans, leather jacket and huge blonde hair...from the front from chest to toes all orange leather blehhhhh
 
It's not really so much body shaming. Heck I've known women who were four of me rolled together, yet wore their size beautifully and proudly. But shopping in bunny slippers and maybe a ripped shirt, a few rollers in your hair...come on the store isn't your living room.
 
A head teacher of a primary school (4-11) in Darlington, England wrote a letter to parents requesting that they didn't wear their nightclothes when bring their kids to school in the morning. Some even wore them to school assemblies to which they had been invited to attend!
 
Mitchezz you are entirely correct. I think the average person would be amazed at the hidden pain most people carry. I also think it says more about us if we nitpick about other people's appearance, than it does about them.

As long as people are clean, reasonably covered up, the rest is none of my business. I see the damage body shaming does. I don't find it funny. But hey, fat is fair game? Not to this Canuck.

I agree Shalimar, size and shape means nothing to me, but proper attire for a persons shape and size does.. My Mom always said you may not be able to afford the best of clothes but a bar of soap costs next to nothing. A person can always be clean. I have had to get out of line because the person in front of me checking out had such an out right stink I thought I would pass out.
 
I always assume that if someone is smelly and not dressed appropriately, they have some sort of medical/mental condition hampering their functioning. When I see someone who is severely overweight, I conclude that person has a problem they are struggling with, emotional or physical as well.
 
I don't think anyone was trying to body shame anyone else. That would be rather strange on my part since I'm fat myself. It was some of the ENSEMBLES I found humorous & not what was underneath them. Maybe some people looked at the pictures and focused on the bodies and not what they were wearing. I noticed some of the crazy get-ups the bodies had on. ..not noticing the bodies. And yes.. if someone walks around in a large store wearing a raccoon hat and fish net stockings under a pair of daisy dukes with a silk shirt and pearls or something similar I would probably find it humorous.
 
It seems like anything goes as far as dress is concerned and the fashion police are out in full force but not much they can do about what others choose to wear. Besides, plenty of other things to worry about, i.e. hope no one takes out their guns if they don't like what they see.
