Well I thought I would give you an idea of the style and fashion here in Madrid. Right now it seems the “in thing” to wear are these pants with very low crotches. Known in the fashion world as drop croth pants. This sounds strange and it really is. First being the summer many women are wearing these in a sort of cropped version. They look pretty comfortable but really that is all I think I like about them. They look almost as if there is a large saggy bum and way to much material in the front that they forgot to cut off. As I mentioned in my last blog I wanted to buy a pair just to show you all, but I really don’t think they look good. I am sure after saying this though in a year or so everyone will have them in N. America and I will be debating sporting the fashions (similar to how I didn’t like skinny jeans and now I have a pair, but these I really don’t know). Stores are now bringing in the fall season things and the drop crotch pants are everywhere in jeans, khakis, cords and even in overalls style.
A photo of the pants…after I got told I wasn’t allowed to take photos and the security guard asked me to delete the photo (hehe I am such a rebel).
Another prominent style here is the mullet. The mullet is live and well here in Spain that’s for sure! I think it’s due to many futbol players in Spain with this hairstyle and the young and old fans wanting to follow. Sort of like when Beckham had that fauxhock, but this is oh so much worse. I have even seen many rat-tails on young boys.
Fernando Torres (Mind you a very good futbol player)Lastly, I am on the search for clothing that has Spanish sayings but all I get is English, even Canadian sayings. I saw a sweater yesterday at a store with the phrase “Calgary ‘where I broke my leg’ 88”, I almost wanted to buy it.
I will post soon about La Vuelta!!
Miss you all,

Get me that Calgary sweater and I'll change the date to '98.
Ooh, I think I agree with you, I don't like those new style of pants but something tells me they will be all the rage here next year.
What's up with the mullet? Hmmm, hoping that doesn't catch on again. I do remember my dad saying that everything came back in style and that's why he never got rid of anything. Thanks for sharing all the latest in Espana. I really enjoy it.

There is nothing new about those pants, Kurds have been wearing them for years. Except these are denim and not wool.
It was nice talking to you the other day.
You know who.
