to tuck or not to tuck?

okay. snow crisis averted. though i am magnificently powerful, i cannot stop snow. but sometimes mother nature likes me. the snow has melted and the sun is shining - Bliss! i hafta say this cool warm, cool warm thing is a bit unpleasant. just stay warm, please! but with this warmth comes some unpleasantness. its amazing how muddy a totally built up area can be. i will be sure to avoid the countryside in the spring. now of course the snow, mud, pudddles bring on yet another crisis. that is to tuck or not too tuck.

as you live somewhere to start to acclimate to your surroundings. one day you wake up and realize that you like things that used to be abhorrent (big word) to you. like the UAE worked on me till i really started liking sequins, lace, beads, and other scary decorative clothes stuff. and not assembled in a tastefull manner but heaped all on top of one another. i seriously started having visions of owning a bedazzler. if i wore makeup i would look like a drag queen - bigger fuller lips, even if i have to color my chin to get them! and there's no such thing as too much mascara/ eyeliner/ eyeshadow/ blush. luckily my american training held and i did not start to think that the unibrow was an exotic and sexy look wrongly passed over by Vogue.

aside for the new found respect of its culture, i fear what else romania shall bequeath to me. i may start thinking that the camel toe is something that is an extremely attractive way to develop infections. even better if i can wear pleather pants with the toeage. you may not recognize me later. this i am in great fear of.

but now i see the tucking the trouser into the boot thing. currently i think its weird if you arent riding a horse or something. but i face this dilema since my pants were bought to be worn with sandals and such. consequently they are a little short with the boots. picture michael jackson during the moonwalker days except i'm wearing boots so you cant see my sequined socks (augmented with some beads and jewels as i thought they were a bit plain before - ask and you shall receive for xmas). tucking the trouser helps keep it from getting wet or muddy, and protects the lower part of legs from car spit. additionally, it hides the short pant thing. on the other hand, is it totally naf? people tuck everything. i just dont know what to do? is living with the tucking better or worse than the high waters?
