San Francisco, we need to talk. Why is it that we have to go to a crap movie like to see decently dressed people? People who love dressing so much that they put effort and thought into their outfits and are not afraid to be daring?

San Francisco is a big enough city; we've got all the resources and the creativity to pull together some really fabulous looks. So why don't we see it on the streets?

And, no, Burning Man attire doesn't count. No. No, it does not.

Union Square should be great people-watching but we sit down with our coffee and are disappointed every time. Even the beautiful people dress boringly. If we’re lucky we’ll see one woman sporting a fabulous pair of shoes, but that's about as good as it gets, besides the occasional pink hair, which is fine, but that hair is usually paired with old dirty clothes that look like they reek of patchouli.

We all walk a ton in this town so we understand the pull of comfort, we also understand that taking Muni is like riding in a (slow) moving public toilet, but come on, this is our life! If we spend it plodding around in ugly boring crap, we're missing one of life's great joys; to outfit one's self with care and creativity.
