BWIT Day versus BED Day



Greetings friends! After an unplanned three month hiatus, I am happy to be back! True, this is not how I envisioned my return, perhaps a little flair is lacking, but hey, this is Jamrock and I am here to rant so here goes…

Firstly, I am in a slight predicament. A short outing this afternoon has left me struggling to decide what designation I will give this day, Monday November 18, 2013. It is a toss-up between BWIT Day and BED Day. What???!!

BWIT = Big Women in Tights Day versus BED = Blinkin’ Eediaaat Drivers Day (To be grammatically correct it should really be Blinking Idiot Drivers Day or BID).

In the space of one hour I counted 17 women in tights!! I would love to know who the dickance re-introduced the wearing of tights or leggings out in public as if they are jeans or regular pants??!!!  Back in the “old” days you only wore tights under your baby doll dress or with a long t-shirt or blouse that was almost at your knees!!!! At least the female ass-ets were totally covered and that was fine!

Fast forward to 2013 and all that has changed! Tights are now being paired with short blouses, crop tops, tank tops – the key seems to be making sure that all of the ass-ets are fully exposed! Oh and for special effect some wear skimpy tops with padded/push up bras that seem to be two sizes too small.
Multi-colored leggings

Anyway, of the 17 women I counted in tights 11 of them were big women!!! Seriously! I am not going to get technical on what fashion industry standards constitute as a “big woman”. By the way, let me just say that I still do not get the notion that “00” is actually a dress size! What is that??

Face it as women we come in different sizes and shapes. Aside from the airbrushed celebrities and models in the media as women we are not all the “perfect 10”. HOWEVER, and I am quite serious here, some fashions are not for everybody! Not because you can afford to buy something which is the current trend means that you should buy or wear it!!!

Leopard print leggings
In my honest opinion, if you are a “level 3 or 4” woman (meaning you have 3 or 4 levels or “folds” to your mid-section) plus an extra big, jiggling behind that makes Kim Kardashian’s butt looks miniature in comparison – PLEASE STAY AWAY from the leggings and short blouses, DO ME A BEG YUH!! I don’t care that “Christmas” is approaching and that your family in New York has shipped “2 barrels” with a number of tights of all different colors, leopard prints or abstract designs. Remember, leggings or tights are not generally meant to be worn as a pair of pants! It has nothing to do with “confidence” or having a “high self esteem”. Whatever outfit you choose as a female should enhance your appearance not  detract from it.

Now for my local Jamrock residents, I have few quick questions: Was the Road Code revised recently? When the heck did overtaking on the unbroken white line or on a corner become legal? (Actually overtaking on the corner is downright ‘TUPID!!) Is it now acceptable to blow your horn near a school? How about parking a BIG, DUTTY OLD TRUCK up on a sidewalk forcing pedestrians, including small children, to walk in the busy thoroughfare?  True, I have noticed an increase in these infractions lately but today I witnessed all of them in a short span of time!!! 

Did I mention the MORON in the silver BMW who was “texting” while driving??!!! YES!! He actually had his head down texting away while driving! I have designated him “EEEDIAT Driver of the month”!

So tell me, what should it be BWIT Day or BED Day?
