In the Eyes of the Beholder
What is attractive to one person, is not always attractive to someone else.
But when the majority of people look at something and agree that there is no beauty in that object then the word 'ugly' is definitely an appropriate word to describe that item.
We have new uniforms at work. They are... ugly. Words I have heard to describe them include: depressing and dark; pajamas ("I'm wearing my pajamas today, that's fun"); 70's collars...are they cool again?; scary; pitiful.
We had absolutely no say in our uniforms again...
I was one of the few who was SMART enought to know better than to think they were going to look good on ANYONE when we finally saw them. But the extent of the ugliness astounds even me. This is a shirt that buttons up to the neck - 2 buttons at the top (cause one just ain't enough for the 3 inch collar thank you!!!) this collar goes to my hairline at the neck... and long sleeves. VERY long sleeves. Colour - well, my department is teal, grey and black vertical stripes.
Thankfully I do not have the ability to post a picture of the new look (so sorry) so anyone who wants to see will have to make a trip to the good old casino to check it out!!!
The best thing I can say about this is that the uniforms are supplied to us and I don't have to pay for dry-cleaning...

Without formal documentation, (ie.. a posted picture of these infringing uniforms) The Fashion Police cannot be notified.
And believe me I'd love nothing more that to call it in to their emergency response service. It'd be nice to get the FaPo off my ass for awhile. >:)
