Do you dress like an American when you travel?

[thepiranha]

When I travel, I wear what I wear at home. Shorts, T-shirts and Nikes in the summer, jeans and long sleeved T-shirts in the winter. The only difference is that I bring clothes that are a little nicer. Definitely cargo shorts or cargo pants to hold my wallet, cell phone, passport, etc.

I hardly ever see the Thai fisherman's pants--even in parts of Thailand!! I guess the Australian singlets fall under the category of sloagn shirts, since we'd know them as wife-beaters! Poor Aussies didn't fare well in most of these fashion mentions. Just don't refer to the bum bag as a fanny pack there (nor in England). Luckily we don't see too many of the Orvis mulit-pocketed vests/jackets, but maybe if the listed extended to ten??
What would you add?

I think you need a disclaimer/warning about content--some of these people are nearly pornographic!

Those photos are great. A woman was thrown out of our local Wal-Mart last week for dressing like some of the people in the photos. She's suing the company.

The best part of the link is that you can come back to it a few days later and see an ever ending new set of photos. It's scary.

My sister who has a very bad medical condition showed up in one of these "people of Walmart" photo spreads - and there were some pretty nasty comments associated with her photo - her husband is thinking of trying to find the photographer and suing. I agree that some of these photos are funny but folks need to watch out and be careful who they are taking pictures of.

I think the most offensive part is the captioning--vulgar and filthy language pretty much illustrates the "author's" brilliance...
