I was flooded by the splintering heatwave over the weekend.
It's near year end, and we should have more rain than heat. Guess the earth is punishing us for burning a big hole in the ozone layer and we had had 2 days of scorching sun, and it looked like the heat's gonna persist. Well, it's good for me coz I can still continue with my swimming regime. However, the heat was pretty killing and we were enveloped in it. Air-conditiong didn't help much either.
Was in Orchard Road last Saturday and saw lots of ladies and gals wore spaghetti-strapped tops and tank tops. I was in a sleeveless top as well, and wished I was wearing something lesser due to the overwhelming heat. Perhaps due to our tropical weather, it's sooooo common and nothing unusual to see ladies in such skimpy tops.
So what if you can see the ladies' bras and straps? For the fashion police, it's a no no, but aside from this, anything wrong? Those HK actors/actresses had commented our fashion scene being "loose" when they're here shooting the serial "Yummy Yummy". Ha, to think such prudishism from them when their pornography industry is so vibrant. Hypocrites :(.
Come to think of it, I seldom see the HK ladies in skimpy or spaghetti tops whenever I make my pilgrimage there. Guess I was the odd one out in sleeveless and tank tops. Winter in HK is always a bluff and you can catch me in sleeveless as well. It's simply too hot to wear any anorak or jacket or long-sleeved top, especially if you're doing lots of walking. All the perspiration kept me from showing off my beautiful winter clothing. What a waste.
Anyway, the spaghetti top is gonna stay in our society. Period. As long as appropriate attire is donned on each occasion, why should anyone dictate what we're gonna wear?
