  3. It says, I'n not really sexy, but culture expects me to be. If you have to spell it out, most likely it's not your strong point(you're just trying too hard). It's like telling people that you're funny. If you have to tell people you're funny, most likely you only think you're funny.It shows an effort to be what our culture tells us is "popular."

  4. I think that its funny that things like a bandana around the neck caught on to becoming a decorative acessory. Bandanas were meant for several purposeful things other than purely for atire. Things like keeping smoke/ dust out of the face/ collar, and several other small things. But thats the neat thing about it to now there are several things you can do with a bandana.

  5. These different neck adornments show something of statis or the type of person the person that is wearing it is. The lady that has the jewels that say sexy show that she is high class and thinks she is sexy. She seems like she is trying to be cool and in her realm of influence that may be the cool thing to wear. The neck adornment on the sherrif shows that he has a high statis and is someone of power. The bandana on the cowboy looking guy shows that he is into the style that is somehow influenced by cowboys. Maybe he likes country stuff. The spike necklace is trying to portray that the person is hard core and tough. The long neck adornment is because the girl is part of the culture that wears those neck braces and she wants to fit in. Perhaps they where these in their culture to look elegant.
