NOT-SO-CLASSY JAPANESE FASHION




Once when I was out-and-about in Nagoya I saw a girl wearing shorts that were cut so high that the pockets were exposed. I couldn't believe someone would intentionally do this. I thought I was seeing someone who wanted to wear daisy dukes, but didn't know all of the steps required to pull off this Merle Haggard approved fashion.

Well, the other day when I passed this mannequin, I realized that the exposed pockets were intentional; they're even made of lace. If any of my friends decide to adopt this trend, I'll be able to ask, "Got any gum?" or, "Do you have any spare change?" and I'll know the answer even before I ask the question. What will the Japanese fashionistas think of next?
