Fashion and the bik-beach

Long time since I came to this foreign land that Christopher Columbus discovered years ago. If he could see what his discovery looks today, he will be more than just happy. Apart from all the advances this country has done, the one thing that intrigues me most is the dressing style of people here.

In my country (Bharat Desh), fashion has a different quotient and a different motive. To be more clear, my country's fashion comes from the new style of clothing, creative design in ornaments, reflecting a different persona etc. etc. and definitely the motive is to present yourself better and beautiful than before (although in present scenario some of these can be contradicted). But, this place seems to have a different way of making a fashion statement. Showing your body in a million different ways is something I can attribute to the fashion quotient here. Looking at all the leading magazines of this country, that's one thing that reflects the most. I wonder how much does it contribute to this country's popularity. I am happy that men at least don't go around wearing shortest shorts and stuff, otherwise it will be very messy. :P

Well, I got a chance to enjoy this fashion today at the Santa Cruz beach. Its one of the finest places that Bay area has to offer. Basically for me this was the first bik-beach in US and I was not let down after watching all the bik-beaches in so many movies and all. One thing I have to say, the movie stuff and the real stuff is pretty similar here and these people don't really just put some fantasy stuff in movies like we do. At least that (movie experience) helped me to digest the most of it today. One thing is, I don't think anybody who goes to these beaches, does even look at the water...not even in the rarest instance. Hey hey hey, I am not talking about myself there :) :) .For a start this was not bad, though I think I still have a lot to see in here and I am definitely ready for it :) :)

Will keep you posted on my latest encounters.
