“People are sick of the bare midriff thing,” Pam Cohen, owner of a Manhattan Beach, California, boutique, said . . . “Britney Spears is over. Layering is in.”
I don’t know what “people” she talked to, but it certainly wasn’t me. Or Ty.
Midriffs and the attendent belly piercings are absolutely disgusting. What are you going to do with that stupid belly button pierce when you get pregnant and your belly button pops out huh chicky-poo?
Ding-dongs. :roll:
Give me normal looking women in normal looking clothes with no piercings any day.
And hey, if you do, you got a couple months to remove the offending piercing.
I’m not gonna lie - A good looking stomach with a BB ring is pretty damned hot. But I wouldn’t go so far as to make that a requirement; that’d just be icing on the cake.
Retailers just really want layering to be in. They always push it because it doubles the number of articles you have to buy to create an outfit. I should know, I’m a schill.
They also want the look to change every year so that people need new wardrobes. I used to be a Nordstrom manager, and we used to sit down and figure how the new stuff could be used to requre new clothes, shoes, makeup, you name it.
Someday, if I’m very lucky, I’ll be able to say “I used to be a computer programmer.”
Nothing would please me more than getting out of this stupid field. It’s fucked up from start to finish. Sadly, computers are the only thing I like working with.
And firewood.
Unfortunately, there’s not much money in firewood.
That’s for damn sure. I was going to go boycott the Ten Commandments removal in Montgomery, but instead, after work, I am headed to the mall, to picket, and make sure the memory of Brittney, and more importantly her excellent fashion sense, never dies.

I think American tecchies in general are doomed. We’re all going to get outsourced in the next 10 years unless some kind of serious backlash hits, like, soon.

The quality of software will go through the floor. No offense to Indian programmers but to truly do a good job designing and building a system you need face time with the customer and flying people on 15 hours flights from India is not going to be practical. Big body shop companies that suck will outsource but who wants to work for one of those places anyway?
Dammit! Work is shite for many of us. I was enjoying my unwholesome thoughts about “women” (that term is negligible in these imaginings I am speaking of) in this thread. Spoofy then has to start whining about his job again and bring me crashing back into reality.
Cathcart, next time he starts up again, pick up your keyboard and break it over the top of his head. Thx.
Damn straight Xaroc. I think the current outsourcing trend is a large "well, the other guy is doing it"lemming race at the moment. There’s a massive amount of turnover going on in the Indian IT shops, and everyone wants a piece of the actions. Its like another dot-com bubble, and it’ll burst sooner or later because I think that companies will learn again those rules that you describe.
