Spring break style truths

Fake gang signs: Still cool. (Credit: Carlos Chavez/azcentral.com)

Considering that students on spring break consider 24 hours a relationship, I shouldn't be surprised that they bring a similarly freewheeling attitude toward their personal style.

Or a similar recklessness.

While down here, I've noticed a few things that no one in their right mind would think of attempting at the resort pools back in the Valley:

1. Anything can be an accessory. Including, but not limited to: beer bongs, paper ID bracelets, empty plastic Dos Equis bottles.

2. A bathing suit need not fit a woman well to be thought of as fitting.

3. Cellulite is not a deterrent to wearing a bikini. (This, I admit, I find kind of heartening.)

4. Faux gang signs are still cool when posing for photos.

5. High heels are for first-timers, or fools.
