Now, Mum agreed to that one should be able to dress as they wished, but at the same time she would be scared if she were to walk up to someone with piercings all over his face in a bank. But I don't understand her, because what does some rings in one's face say about how that person is below the surface? Nothing.
One thing that she thought funny was how I could think like I do and at the same time wish for school uniforms, and uniforms in all kinds of jobs.
First up, it prevents bullying. Second, it makes it a hell lot easier for those who have bad self-confidence and therefore has a really hard time to pick out what to wear everyday to school. I have been one of those people, so I know how horrible that is. Another thing I know how it is like is not having enough money to buy the "fashionable" clothes that almost everyone else wears, and therefore, you get looked down on because you don't have the "right" clothes. So that's why I like school uniforms... Plus, of course, the fact that they are so cool. ^_~
And well, at work, as well as school, uniforms can make one get into "work mode", if that makes any sense. I've been talking to some people who go to schools where they have to wear uniforms, and they have told me how it is easier to do homework and such when in uniform, plus that it makes one more proud of what school one goes to, when they are able to show it off. And I think the same thing that applies for school uniforms also applies for uniforms in work, it makes a lot of things more easy.
But for jobs (and schools) that doesn't have uniforms, I think people should be able to wear whatever they want without being judged for it or told to wear something else. If you want to have rules when it comes to clothing, why not just design a uniform, tell the ones working that "here, this is what you will be wearing when working here". It really isn't that hard, is it?
Well... those are my thoughts. What do others think?
Then there's this other thing, concerning clothes, that grown-ups has to dress in one way, and children in another. Different fashion for different age groups. Here's two pictures of Tsuji Nozomi, 21 years old, married, and with one daughter (the little thing with a heart in front of her face in the corner of the left picture ^^).
When I showed these pictures to my mum, she shook her head and made some offhand comment about how her husband must be happy having married someone he could pretend was a ten-year-old, making him sound like some pervert, and Tsuji-chan like someone who got stuck at the age of ten. And I'm not saying that I know him or her, just that from what I've heard from people who know Japanese and can read her husbands blog, and from what I've read from Tsuji's translated blog entries (thank you H!O! ^^), they love each other and their little daughter Nao just like any other family. There's nothing wrong with their relationship, because if it was I don't think Tsuji-chan would be able to be as happy as she seems to be.
I don't understand why one has to dress differently just because you aren't 20- anymore. If I'm thirty and feels like dressing in pink and ribbons I would do it. I hope I will put on what I feel comfortable in till the day I die.
So, Tsuji-chan is my idol. ^__^ One of them, anyway. =3
