More Smutty Than You: TSR's Hall of Shame

[iamawake]

Oh, I know. I have a sister too; I could be holding the ultimate Truth in my hands and she still wouldn't listen.

Souvenirs - you're right, and not just in clothing: younger and younger teens are beinge encouraged to act like adults more and more often. My sister has friends who wear commitment rings at the age of 14/15, have virginity-loss pacts for their 16th birthday and so on. Some of them get designer bags for their birthdays (whereas I, at 24, have never owned one), even when their parents are not stinkin'rich. Makes me feel really old that I used a backpack for school until I was like, 18.

I'm a smoker. Been one since age 12 and I'm 42 in Pescado years (43 real ones). I never dressed outrageously unless it was a school spirit thing and even then, I was fully clothed, even if they were tight and slinky. NO make up, didn't wear it then unless it was a special occasion. School never accounted for that, it was just school.

My daughter wanted the clothes that I thought inappropriate but I refused. We compromised on tie-dye and embroidered jeans with nothing across the ass. Her dresses had to come at least to her knees and they couldn't be too low cut. Sneakers, no platforms. This was all before she was eight! Yeah, I'm a strict old bitch about what girls wear...

Toddler stilettos -- wow, I never thought anyone could be so sadistic. Then again...I guess I know a few. Finger-pointing is bad.

As for make-up, I guess I'm pretty low on it compared to other teens. I wear chapstick and occasionally a little eyeliner, but that's about it. I don't care if other people see that I'm pale or that I have the usual teenage acne problems. Lotion and soap are good enough for me. Other girls must have terrible skin...but then, why can't the boys also wear make up without being called 'gayfreaks' if they have acne problems too?

I love my baggy tee's and pants. They're comfortable, especially during the winter when the majority of the other girls still refuse to let go of their two inch skirts and spaghetti-straps. But they make up for that little inconvenience with furry boots with seven-inch heels.  Those are excellent when there's black ice covering the whole ground until you break something.

Then there are the boys with the pants that are down around their ankles. I think they're actually making a type of pant that is made to do that; like, it really goes up to the waist but it looks like it doesn't. That confuzzles me, am I the only one?

Sometimes I wonder why anyone would even design those clothes, then I watch what's popular on TV and I'm reminded.

omg skanky clothes ftw!!!!!@!!!!1 XXDDDDDDD rofl

lol I've seen the jeans round your knees trend. Heh, it's a REAL nice look. Especially on your brother. Why? Just why? And I'm glad (as far as I've seen) that that trend hasn't extended into sims! Well, not much...

I don't know.  I think in some ways teens are just more out there - but thinking back, there were plenty of teenagers in the 80s who tried to look and act like they were adults.  I don't think its really anything new, just now we're older and wiser, we go -ugh-

[TetchyVisage]

I'm the odd one out, then. I'm a teen and I go -ugh- at the things 'we're' wearing nowadays.

And they're not trying to look like adults, no...(most) of them believe that they're old enough to boss everyone above the age of twenty around and can wear whatever they want without consequences. I can't wait to look back at these years and laugh. Is it fun to do so?

[SoggyFox]

It can be, yes.

I don't wear make up. I am a Lush addict, so my bathroom looks and smells like a hot greenhouse, I have pretty good skin, so if I go out, I just apply a bit of mascara and eyeliner. I hate foundation, even as a teenager with pimply skin, I wouldn't wear it and I have always, and will always, dress like a boy. Even when I am wearing skirts, I wear boots and I have shortish hair, so I guess it's not a feminitity thing, I just don't understand the whole bear your skin in public thing. If you got it, flaunt it? Alright, I never "had it" so I guess I won't flaunt it? What is "it" anyways? big boobs? I have those. Sorry society confuses me

You know what else confuses me? People who sign their name after they post. You have a username, Arr!

Lush? The smell of that store seriously makes me ill. I'm all for smelly-soaps (nice-smelly), but that store is... something else. I did have some manly smelling soap from there that I loved.

Though, I also can't stand the smell of perfume. A lot of people like to practically bathe in the stuff and it just smells horrid. All perfume smells the same to me. I prefer fruity sprays and stuff like that.

[deelink]

Ah Lady, I hate the smell of the store too. In fact, I hate it so much, I either send my girlfriend over to get it for me, or I order online.
Because it's one thing to be in a small space with overpowering smells that clash and burn agaisnt each other, and quite another, to be scrubbing in a bathtub full of sakura flowers, with a soap that smells like rich creamy honey.
Actually, I really love their Ocean Salt scrub, use it everyday! It's like rubbing a margarita on face!

*I wish I had a margarita right now!

[TetchyVisage]

Well, then, I'll look forward to reaching the age of twenty.

On another note.... I'm the only one in my family with any immunity to overwhelming scents. My mom nearly passes out in the perfume isles of the stores, same goes for everyone else. But darn, if the stuff she buys doesn't smell good! (Although I've never been in Lush and she hasn't either, as she would definitely pass out and she can't be bothered getting it any other way.)

The sakura-flower-honey bath sounds nice.

[SoggyFox]

I like making my own soaps - I'm really fond of dumping oats in mine, its one of the few things I can use as a scrub with rosecea.   And there is something fun about making a soap just the way you like it.

I'm the odd one out, then. I'm a teen and I go -ugh- at the things 'we're' wearing nowadays.

Am I the only one that thinks that fashion trends have actually gotten better in the last couple of years?  I remember going shopping in the late '90s/early '00s, and I couldn't even find a shirt that covered my midriff, not to mention pants that covered my ass, unless I went into the ladies' section.  With the exception of skinny jeans and leggings (and I've still been able to find bootcut jeans anyhow), the stuff popular right now seems to be less tight fitting and show off less skin, like the empire-waisted shirts and high-waisted pants, which are coming in style.  I know some people find that stuff ugly, but I certainly don't miss seeing butt crack every time a girl bends down.

Then again, I think they've gotten better for teens and adults and worse for pre-teens.  I definitely don't remember there being tons of slutty stuff in the kid's department when I was that age, though I'll admit to not remembering much.

Back on topic, though, I found this this morning.  Isn't it just a wee bit too revealing for a toddler?  The cut of the top especially bothers me.  It looks like a bra.

[Kitiara]

Toddler slut-wear now?! 

My recent finds.

Number one: A shirt cut so high your sim can show off the lower part of their boobies: 



And some, errr, tights.  Just tights.  And knickers, thankfully.  Can I get a WTF?

[Kitiara]

Swimsuits with PVC trim and, inexplicably, fingerless gloves ?



Frightfully slutty underwear, which only just covers the err,  sim ladygarden:
