Ass Crack over Cleavage

Have I not been looking at the right places, or did cleavage never make it to Hong Kong's fashion world? It's true that most Hong Kong girls are flat-chested anyway and those intending to show anything below the collarbones ought to be on full alert for ma-lud-los who'd outright stare down your neckline, but that doesn't mean we should resort to showing our ass cracks instead.

Why are girls here so eager to show off so much of their asses? Too many times have I seen a girl wearing super-low-rise pants whose top is never long enough to cover more than her bellybutton, who always has a reason to crouch in public with her back to everyone so nobody misses the sight of her ass crack. And I'm not talking about the subtle peak of the crack, but full-fledged "swipe card here" slits. What's up with that?

Obviously, not everyone has a good sense of style, but you don't need the Fab Five to tell you that some things are clear no-nos.

Earth to girls:
1. Technicolor eye shadow should be avoided if you wear glasses
2. Underarm hair is not sexy
3. You shouldn't be able to play the guitar with your toenails
4. (Super) low-rise jeans should be worn with (super) low-rise panties. And if you're going to show the edge of your panties, it needs not be branded but must not be off-white

Earth to guys:
1. Pinky nails shouldn't be any longer than the nails on any other finger
2. Blue jeans with black leather shoes is a combination only selected European male models can pull off
3. Even when you're wearing jeans, black leather shoes never go with white cotton socks
4. Helping your lady carry her Gucci bag may make you look like a caring boyfriend; carrying a lady's Gucci bag of your own makes you look like you have a boyfriend
