i was a volunteer at our university's spring commencement this morning; i passed out programs, directed people to the bathrooms, and smiled and said things like 'good morning' or 'welcome'. i did notice the abundance of uniforms - aside from the obvious gap and gown of the graduates, the robes and stoles of the faculty, there was....the LAW. yes, the white marshal shirts contrasting with the black of the university police, the tan of the hays county officials- long sleeves for the sheriff deputies and short sleeves for the emergency medical teams, blue for the gary job corps training academy cadets AND i even saw a marine! the rest of us in 'official' capacity were stuck with our maroon polo shirts with gold lettering [to match the school colors of course]
as far was the ladies were concerned, it was hard to determine what the 'current' fashion trend of the day was as it seemed just about anything goes - although i did not see a long denim skirt - of course there was quite a few of the old standard, classic: the little black dress. the only other two things that stood out were the 'gladiator' shoe, both equally popular as a flat sandal and a 4 inch heel. the only other thing to note was 'if you got good legs, show them off' seemed to rule the younger crowd. and it seems, the more attractive one felt, the more leg was shown. i left with my cheeks sore, after spending 2 1/2 hours smiling at folks; i was right there where the graduates lined up for the processional so i also was able to congratulate a bunch of my fellow 'bobcats'.
