The New Era of Clothing
Monday, October 09, 2006
With all this skank in today’s clothing, isn’t it about time we recognized this evolution?
And by recognition, i mean, why don’t we linguistically give clothing of that nature its own moniker, its own title, its own category. Currently, we call things of the genre terms such as “clubbing clothes,” “hoochy clothes” or “skank outfits.” These terms and those like it usually include such articles as sheer tops, bustiers, clear heels and thigh-high boots.
In a stroke genius (well, it was an accident caused by me mumbling), i have coined a new term that embodies the meaning, emotional provocation and connotation that all those previous names and images collectively represent.
It is…
HOETHING
It’s a ho thang
* Note: this hoething line is not to be confused with those of Chinese ancestry and who have the family name, Ho.
Some of us could use some visuals…

Last month, she wrote about her encounter with roasted puppies at a store. ROASTED PUPPIES, people. The only thing that could have made it worse would be a soundtrack of yelping. Puppies! http://hanoichristi.blogspot.com/2006/09/mmm-fresh-yoghurt.html
