weather or not..

San Franciscans have no idea how to dress for warm weather. They're more accustomed to starring at coloured fog for 4th of July (yes, they shoot the fireworks into the fog)... or wearing a beanie in June.

Its not even 9am and its 14C already - high of 33C predicted today.

Here are two examples of what I saw on the bus (#3 in-bound, 8:30a);
- Chica, possibly mutton dressed as lamb. Electric blue knitted dress, sleeveless, about the length of a long top i.e. just over the crotch and not much further along. She teamed this outfit with gold and silver high wedges, strand of long pearls, red nail polish, huge shades and a peacock feather shaped hair clip holding back her long curly dirty blonde hair. And to top it off... a day-glo fluro pink shiny vinyl duffel bag.

- Hipster who lost her jeans... at least she's sane to leave the black tight denim behind. Wearing black short shorts (though there is no muscle tone in her legs), yellow top, grey jacket, pale yellow shoes, matching slouch handbag... good so far, right? here's the clinger... a red, white and blue polka dot head scarf wrapping all her hair up, African tribal style. I am quite sure she has hair under there... either that or there is a lot of scarf on her head.

I felt so straight.
