Women raid teen section for hip, affordable clothes

And they say that men are the only ones who have midlife crisises? Actually I don't know that that's true but it seemed like a reasonable seque into the story.

If my mother started wearing teen fashions I think I'd probably have to have her medicated. Why would a mature woman choose to adorn her body with clothing that says lovely things like "Slut" and "Brat" and "Men are great, every girl should own one or two"?

Maybe this is a spin off of that Nokia (I think its Nokia) commercial where they've got old party partying like teenagers? Maybe this youthful resurgence is a combination of Viagra and Red Bull slammers?

Either way, I'm damned glad I don't live in Florida.

Mega props to intellectual properties for bringing Mark Morford to my attention. He's swiftly becoming one of my favorite writers. Which reminds me, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMY! I'll be sure to raise a glass to you tonight as I'm out celebrating another pal's birthday tonight.
