are those shoulder pads? Clorox, overlong necklace, and big ring. I hope she's being ironic.

Everywhere outside of the Northwest these girls are average at best.

Ouch. Really, does it matter? Women go through enough crap in their lives thanks to media pressure, why does it bother you that Marjorie posted this? What is wrong with complimenting a woman?

This is why we can't have nice things.

Is this a screenshot from the opening credits of the original "Beverly Hills 90210"? That red blazer makes me think it is.

Those were some lovely people and lovely photos, but I would like to state for the record that I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED that people are wearing belly shirts again.

One woman of non-anglo ethnicity. ONE. Oh well, I guess it's clear what your standard of beauty is.

I WAS THERE. SOME SERIOUS HIPSTER FAUX PAS ACTION ALONG THE LINES OF BELLY SHIRTS AND SUCH, BUT SOME VERY WELL-DRESSED RECENT CALIFORNIA TRANSPLANTS, TOO.

Don't get me wrong, I do not think these women are ugly. They just look and dress like 90% of all 18-34 year old women in this town. Nuveau-Douchette, if you will. I will concede this- If you are into girls that look like the cast of You Can't Do That On Television, then they are pretty. Fair?

@iceprez I'm hoping you'll look back through my blog and see that I do have an array of body types and different ethnicities accounted for, but please keep in mind where we live. We are in the NW and like it or not, it's mostly white here. I took pictures of the people that were at the show, who attended this is beyond my control. @jonser the crop top is back with a vengeance! Get used to seeing it on folks for at least the next year or so.

@16- OK, that's fair. However, as a fourth generation Portlander I am well aware of our city's racial makeup. I also remember when black people actually lived here, but that is a rabble-rousing discussion for another day.

Could we be a little more gentlemanly around here in the future? Dig deep, guys.

I thought maybe that was a picture of someone's mom from the 80's - you know, tribute for mother's day or something.

Sadly. No.

There was plenty of beautiful diversity at the St. J Parade and Bizarre this weekend. Glad I chose that event over this one.

@iceprez, fair point, but Marrissa is right. I suppose all of you making remarks about personal appearance look like Johnny Fucking Depp, amIright? If you want to crack on the fashion (it's pretty goofy) fine, but leave personal appearance out of it

The one on the right looks like Steven Tyler.

Ain't no shame in these ladies' game.
