    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.

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

    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.

    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?

    I only noticed it when I was in Tralee a few weeks back and I honestly assumed it was travellers with out of date clothes:(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