Gender-less dressing …
Recently a premier store in England kick-started a gender neutral fashion campaign by introducing unisex store to endorse genderless dressing to show the equality between the genders. Now men and women can dress the same like olden times when they wore leaves and danced around the fire.
This is such an amazing invention in front of which innovation of fire and Modi will pale. This will surely alleviate the poverty in third world countries and solve earth warming. This phenomenon will rank just after “gender change operation”.
We are not afraid of this change. South Indians’ casual dress itself is the long skirt called “lungi”. We often fold it near the knee and wear it as a mini skirt. Remember we wear lungi only lungi without any back up also! Next if the westerners invented a ribbon to wear between the legs, we are ready. Our farmers’ national dress itself is ‘langodu’.
We have seen and withstood these scary dressing for some time. Half the men crash-landing in airport are in shorts flaunting their skinny, hairy and curved legs ! So we are ready. Our much loved hero ‘Bag piper’ wears skirt for a long time.
I hope it is introduced in India soon. Our ITians, the trendsetters will be the first to dress up/down (whatever you call) in skirt. They will rotate and let the skirt flow in the air. Half the traffic will go blind. I hope that they don’t lift their skirt to wipe their faces.
My neighbour’s family from grandpa to grandchild who roam in shorts will be seen in frocks hereafter. After all Birds of the same feather will ‘frock’ together !
Skirts with low hips will be the killer combination. Love it or Live it.
I get goosebumps to imagine our gentlemen going to offices in skirts. I wish to see some of our Netas wearing skirts and fight in the parliament. They will pass some rule as who can wear long skirt and who can wear mini skirt.
Our uniformed men in Police and Customs will burn the streets with this outfit.
My doubts are :
(i) How runners and football players will manage when they run in skirts ?
(ii) If people die in skirts, will the ghosts hereafter come and threaten me in skirts ?
(iii) People who have already shortened their trousers to shorts, what will they wear next ?
One good thing is that we can order skirts or frocks for the whole family during festival seasons. Being a lungiwala, I prefer wearing a printed long skirt.
