I.e. hiring some Mexicans to do it, and then bitching about Mexicans stealing our jobs.
You have to love Japan's image of the US.

Nah. We spend all our time making sure that the other person can't do the work. The worst fucking thing on earth is someone allowed to actually just do their job.

Even better: it still makes sense in every order. Try vertical.

This picture is from a trip to Miami. If it's sold in America, then it's what Americans wear. I agree with Japan.
EldritchFeminity 17 points 2 years ago
Honestly. The only thing they got wrong is the cowboy hat, and that's just because it's uncommon in most areas of the states. We'll slap the flag on anything - even things that it's "illegal" to put the flag on according to the same rules that say that you have to burn the flag if it touches the ground, like paper napkins.
Got_Bent 9 points 2 years ago
As a Dallas resident, I'd assert that the cowboy hat is a fairly common accessory for women. Not so much for men until you get way out into the rural areas. (Fort Worth Stockyards notwithstanding)
EldritchFeminity 1 point 2 years ago
Sure, but Dallas ain't the east or west coasts, and even in the Midwest, it's probably pretty spotty from one locale to the next on whether or not you'll see them being worn. I think big straw/woven sun hats are probably more uniformly worn across the country than cowboy hats.
Now, if we were talking about baseball caps with a sports logo on it, then I'd say it's as endemic to every corner of the country as oxygen is.
dejected_warp_core 6 points 2 years ago
It's actually against the flag code, which is not law. So it's at worst deeply disrespectful, depending on how seriously you take that kind of thing. But we also have this freedom of expression thing going on, which includes being obnoxious or disrespectful, so one might have a hard time getting the flag code into law in the first place.
EldritchFeminity 3 points 2 years ago
That's why I put illegal in quotation marks. It's not actually illegal, and few people even know what a flag code is, let alone care about what's considered disrespectful (except when it comes to protesters burning the flag, then it's horrible and offensive).
Besides, consumerism trumps everything, so companies will happily slap a flag on anything and everything because American jingoism will eat it up.
Revan343 2 points 2 years ago
It's not illegal, it's just 'against flag code' which is not and can not be law.
Funny enough, burning the flag is the proper way to dispose of damaged flags, according to flag code. Those damned anarchists and their proper flag disposal

That bikini top is absolutely the wrong size for that mannequin. It should be wearing a much larger cup size. If that were on a woman with the same proportions it would be as uncomfy as hell. Of course, I highly doubt the shop even stocks the mannequin's size at all because very few people have that big a cup size. So really the problem is that's a shitty mannequin.

She'd slosh impressively though, if she wasn't made of fiberglass anyway.

I like the parties you attend in Texas.

Dear Japan: not all white women look or dress like Tina Armstrong from Dead or Alive.
See, I look nothing like this:

And also for your information, that is clearly a picture of uh, "American actress Jaime Pressly" who is totally a completely different person.

Hey guys! I think I found Jaime Pressly's account!

I guess some do.
You might see this in the south, especially at a lake or beach.
TexasDrunk 8 points 2 years ago
I saw two different women wearing something similar last night. The cowboy hats were those cheap distressed straw hats, though.
peopleproblems 3 points 2 years ago
TBF felt hats are stupid hot and with the heat we've had ain't no one gonna wear a hat like that. If I could find a good star cattleman hat I'd be happy, but I haven't had any luck myself
TexasDrunk 1 point 2 years ago
I'm a pinch front guy so I'm no help there. I've got a Stampede straw pinch front that's super comfortable and has lasted me probably 10 years so far but they don't make it anymore and I have no idea what their quality is these days.
peopleproblems 6 points 2 years ago
I mean if you don't own a Stetson are you even from the states?
What do you wear riding your horse into the city to sign that paperwork for the new drill site?
MentallyExhausted 42 points 2 years ago
I live in a red boating area and this is almost exclusively what they wear.
captain_aggravated 25 points 2 years ago
If we made a list of all the things American chicks wear, these would be on that list.
BarrelAgedBoredom 22 points 2 years ago
Go to an offroading event of some sort. Guaranteed to see at least a few ladies wearing exactly this
afraid_of_zombies 7 points 2 years ago
I think I should see these worse depictions to make sure that you are right.

If they've seen country music videos you can't really blame them.

An actual ally character from Shiren the Wanderer 4, which never made it to the US: https://archive.rpgamer.com/...
(Why did it never make it to the US? It has some, uh, unfortunate NPC designs.)
AI_toothbrush 4 points 2 years ago
Tbh i like the look just not the political views of.the people who wear stuff like that. I think ironically it would work really well.
