Slothification of Sunbury

[SandraF]

Ok you are all going to hate me for posting this, but I must say this as I've been a resident of Sunbury for 20 years and I LOVE SUNBURY, so don't take this the wrong way and don't just fire back with a useless hateful reply.  I have had to move out of the area for 12 months due to my builder going bankrupt, but will be back in April.  What I have noticed, having had to move back to the south eastern suburbs with my parents, is how awful a lot of the women of Sunbury do dress and look.  A lot of women on the other side of town take pride in their appearance.  I too have always thought that women in Sunbury don't take enough pride in their appearance, but the difference is quite shocking.  I always put on my make up and good clothes to take the kids to school and kinda and shopping and I look after my weight, life is too short to look like horrible.  I work from home, but I wouldn't answer the door in what some women are wearing out in public.  I have seen some stylish women around Sunbury over the years, but not enough I'm afraid. You really do feel better about yourself if you look after yourself ladies.  Hell I work 7 days a week, raise two kids on my own and still make time to look good.  I travel back once a week to Sunbury and have noticed the unbelievable 'slothification' of women in this community.  Even my ex husband commented the other day during a recent visit back to my community how awful a lot of the women in Sunbury look, I can't write his comments here, but I'm afraid we agree on something, LOL.  Yes slothification is a weird word, but it's one that comes to mind, so sorry ladies, lift your game, take pride in yourselves and make not only this community beautiful, but the people in it too. Oh and you too guys, a bit more style and pride in your appearance would be nice!!

ahh Sandra.. you make me smile..

I must say after working 5 days in the city & some very long hours, i am a culprit of "slothification" as you call it!   

tell you what.. I Promise to take care in my appearance a bit more - especially around home - if you promise to once a week go to the shops with no make up on... Maybe a fluffy pair of slippers to boot??  How does that sound?

Lilly, if thats you on your avatar then I don't think you're one of the sloths .  And I wouldn't even check the letterbox looking the way you suggest, let alone go to the shops.

Here, Here Sandra.....               
Maybe all my mates would stop Windging about the lack of Attractive Women in Sunbury if other girls heeded your advice...... 
 
I do Beleive there is a fine line between Looking good & Obsessing about how you look, However on the other hand some girls go Way over the top with their Makeup sometimes....     

Id also Suggest if people in General Smiled more often insted of Blank Faces Looking at the ground that too would brighten up the streets....     

[SandraF]

JD I concur. So many people look at me as if I'm crazy when I smile at them or strike up a conversation in a shop, supermarket, etc.    I wish people were more open and embraced their community.  I love getting to know our shop owners and always give them a wave as I go by, etc and it makes my outings and errand runs more enjoyable when I know the people in my community.

Lol. I must say Sandra, If i looked like my avatar i would be an extremely wealthy woman!!

how about giving it a go in your dressing gown?

 

[JD]

lilly,   I know what you look like   
and You Definatly betterlooking than avril lavigne even though you look very Daggy at times. 
I dont think avril lavigne is wealthy from her looks as much as her Singing.   

And as for wearing the dressing gown down the street  , Sounds very Daggy but i'm sure some women could make it work. 

[SunburyResident]

I concur wholeheartedly that we should all make an effort to smile and make conversation with our fellow sunbrarians 

[Lilly]

Maybe we should make it a mission, No matter what mood we are in, every time we go down the street to try & smile at at least 5 people.. They do say that a smile is contagious, hopefully we can get to a time where everyone seems happy!

I think you have a point though as well JD, If people looked up more often rather than trying to be all sullen about what they are doing / where they are going, we would all have a much better chance of enjoying our day.

I agree, how hard is it to make eye contact with someone walking towards you and say g-day. Just makes the world that lil bit smaller. Ive only been in Sunbury about 6yrs and I liked how friendly everyone was whether in shops or out for a walk. It'd be a shame to lose that aspect of Sunbury.

I have to say its not about the dress code of people in Sunbury that bothers me its the rudeness and as others have said just the "hello" in the post office or "sorry" when needed. But also the unnecessary swearing and winging about things like the long queues at the post office I wish would stop.

I have lived in Sunbury for 11 yrs and can't believe how rude some people are. I have one of those friendly faces that everyone feels they have to talk to me, sometimes I do get tired of it but I smile and say "hello" back its just polite.

Dont know about total slothification but when you go to the supermarket at 9.00 pm you don't expect to see a large robust lady around 30 entering the store, wearing pj's, slippers and open dressing gown.
Considering the lady had a very large chest with no bra on a little bit of modesty would have been nice.

[Lilly]

Was she smiling at least?

Another thing i have noticed kind goes along with what everyone has been saying, is a sort of cone of silence that seems to follow most people around these days. It is almost as though they can't actually open their mouths to say "Excuse me", or "Thank you". I stopped a Lady in the street the other day who had dropped a piece of paper she was carrying. She looked at me mutely, even when i handed her her paper, she just turned & walked away.

It was almost as though she was scared to actually say thanks. And i am pretty sure i am not that scary
