    Anyone else notice the alarming amount of women and teenage girls especially wearing neon clothes all of a sudden? When did dressing like a construction worker suddenly become popular? The sheer brightness of the colours alone makes it feel like my eyes are being raped:eek:

    Yup, have noticed this. In fact, I saw a photo in a local paper of a hen party - all dressed up like glowsticks. It certainly grabs the eye but in a very wrong way IMO.

    lol I saw a herd of these glowsticks in town today. Nearly crashed my car

    Some were quite hot but they still look like tramps in that gear.

    I was in Manchester a couple of months back and over there is much worse than here.

    There's nothing classier than a 15 stone woman, who has been tangoed, & is wearing neon green, yellow & pink in fetching jersey material.

    Not a fcuking hope of me wearing any of that cheap looking tarty shyte. Theres reason it went off the scene in the first place, its foul looking. And I didn't wear it then either.

    +1 Url. I've seen some pretty girls wearing this stuff, and it gives them an instant tramp look.

    It's contra-indicated in the accompanying literature to take LSD and drive.

    No need to open that particular can of worms.
    Anyone else think this rant about rave gear is a bit more suited to ranting and raving?

    I believe congratulations are in order.
    Does this mean ranting & raving will become more interesting?

    I've yet to see someone wearing neon clothing. Does such a thing exist?

    I see skangers in flourescent dresses, yes.
    But what, now they've started wearing clothes made out of a neon light wound round or something?

    Would that not burn?

    *runs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭RonMexico


    Yeah they make the girls look like tramps alright. To be honest most of them wearing that ****e are tramps.

    So invest in a pair of sunglasses and get a life ;)
    If you were busy enough you wouldn't notice what kids are wearin, much less go online to comment :)
    Oh, and I've never seen a construction worker wearing neon peach, wonder who builds houses where you live :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭deco05ie


    I only noticed it when I was in Tralee a few weeks back and I honestly assumed it was travellers with out of date clothes:(

    It does look terrible. Are they hoping the fluorescents will make it harder to see the shadows of there fat rolls?

    it's a disgusting trend, but it does act as a warning device.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Its Pennys. Its always that fvcking hole.

    You see the common b*tches buying neon clothes in droves. The window of Pennys was covered in manequins dressed head to toe in Neon.

    Nope, its in all the slapper shops in town too. Pennys just succeeded in making it look even cheaper, if that is possible.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Schism


    Yep noticed this alright, said it to a mate just last week.

    I've come to the conclusion that Ireland is the butthole of fashion.

    But if you cross swords with another bloke and you're wearing a neon condom, its not gay. Its just like you're playing with lightsabers.

    I challenge anyone in that situation not to make that noise.
































    You made it in your head, didn't you ?
