Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for October 05, 2014
Transcript:
Luann: "I'm having a hard time picking a college style" Bernice: "What do you mean?" Luann: "I mean... I want clothes that'll make me look classy but not boring... Stylish but not stuffy" Luann: "I want to look mature but also casual and fun. I want a style that says "Here's a serious, easy- going, sensible, playful college woman who knows exactly who she is and what she's doing. Who's flirty, too!" Bernice: "Wow. So wha'd you decide?" Luann: "That it would be easier to become a guy"

Uh, I wouldn’t use those guys as examples of “guy fashion” as the epitome of “simpl-”…. oh, wait… one of them is Knute. Yeaah, that is pretty simple….– Sometimes, too, the way the way that they in the media ‘vogue’ us is bogus….

Sigh. . . Why does this have to be so difficult? I just choose what I want, buy it, and wear it—and be done with it. The hell with following fashion trends.

Ah, the irony! You’ll get there, Luann – even if it takes a decade or two!

knute doesn’t care, he’s a drifter, he’ll go wherever the wind takes him.

Or just don’t be an idiot who thinks they have to dress up all the time.

Luann, clothes do not make the woman. Buy something that looks nice and then concentrate on becoming what you want to be.
JayBluE about 10 years ago
Although it is nice to find your own personal style, the problem is the stores (and the media) only “feed” you “your” personal and individual look/style, based on someone else’s dictates. – Or you end up trying to “look” as though you’re “fun and flirty and friendly but yet out of your league” or “fun at parties but interview ready at the drop of a hat” (for girls) or “tough and bad-boy but acceptable to the ’rents”or “I’m too cool to care about anything but still in style” (for guys).– Which is ironic, because we’re encouraged to “seek and express individuality”, but the clothes/styles some chase are from the minds/circles of everyone else …

But Clark: now that we have government making all decisions for us (what we can say, what we can eat, etc.) and the politically correct crowd is on charge, everything will be just great.

Ah, good ole Luann focusing on the most important thing of college.
TheLiam about 10 years ago
First of all, you don’t speak for everyone when you say no one cares. Secondly, way to be closed minded and judgmental of all males without anything to base it off of. Third, what have we learned about Luann from the college plot line so far? Clothes are the most important thing about college, not checking out the campus first, not getting books, no just making sure you dress the part.
Daniel Aplet about 10 years ago
Yes the one on the right would never fit.And yes in dressing it would be easier to be a Boy,though the clothes might chance a little on looks the styles really dont

“That cannot be the campus book store. That is Knute wondering around, lost as always. He has no business on a college campus unless he was hired to clean all the toilets.”.While cleaning the toilets, Knute discovered the secret to success is attention to detail, hard work, application of mind.After this and unbeknownst to most others, Knute became a perfect student and is attending on three separate scholarships and has already passed all his midterms with perfect scores.(but don’t tell anybody else, it’s a secret)

Hard to believe that only recently as the 80s the business students still used to wear ties to classes. Then the 90s “grunge” came along and everybody looks like they fell off the back of a turnip truck.

How depressing is this????
drewpamon about 10 years ago
I’m sorry but if you graduated from college to get a 20k a year job you failed when it came to choosing a major. Hint if you only had to take one math class to graduate you chose the wrong major.

What you’re wearing does matter to most young women. The guys don’t have to get up two hours early just to do your hair and makeup, and then tweak your face to match your final decision on what you’re wearing that morning.
No, I’m not a Crystal. I’m more of a tomboy myself, but what you’re wearing is determined by your mood, which is in turn determined by your hormones and if you’re having your period, which means that something that fit last week may not fit THIS week. In addition, I had to factor in my schedule at OSU, and how long it would take me to get across campus on my bicycle. There were a number of times when I’d arrive at an engineering class wearing a leotard, tights and a short / filmy skirt from my preceding dance class. At the time, there weren’t many women in the engineering programs so I stood out. This was good in a way, the professors called on me more, so I had to have the answer.

You people expect an 18 year old to be mature. Luann is like a lot of young people, male and female, who are struggling to get with it, make decisions that don’t bite, get a girl/boyfriend, and not aggravate their parents too much. Give her a break; she’s still a kid!
dblbaraje about 10 years ago
Ah yes, style! The worst style I have ever seen is the “skinny jean” forced upon girls/women by the fashion industry. They are so unflattering (even on beautiful girls/women). Now the fashion industry is going back to the wide leg pant that we used to wear in the 70’s. Luann, it is hard, but you have to find the “classics” and stick with them. On the contrary, dresses today are a lot nicer than they used to be.
It is easier being a guy!
TheLiam about 10 years ago
Ginny, you’re putting to much stock in Luann’s “innocence”. Let’s not forget that she has a boyfriend, which she badgered the hell out of because he was not spending enough time with her, bullied Tiffany about not having a boyfriend, and much much more. Then again, maybe you’re right it does show how immature she is.

@gnmnrbl … Been tryin’ that since this Internet thing started …Sometimes its fun, but overall going to University and working for a living would have been a better choice I think ….

When at times I’ve felt I had counted my blessings and found that they were few and far between, I have always beenthankful that I’m not a girl. Lu may be right

Guys have it easier in SOO many things.

Try a thrift shop, Lu. 1) It’s where the guys shop. 2) You can experiment with different styles on a college student’s budget. 3) You are contributing to a charity.

Wow… you paint such depressing futures for Gunther (whom you claim to like).
spaced man spliff about 10 years ago
Thank goodness you didn’t leave the ‘e’ off the end…-the word you are thinking of (from the Latin ‘cuneus" meaning wedge, e.g. cuneiform writing), was routinely used in earlier English to mean ’ditch’ or ‘furrow’.
