How to Look Sexy
Todd: So, Jeyong, you like to go to night clubs. When you go to a night club,
what do kids wear these days? Like what makes you look cool in a night
club or how should you dress?
Jeyong: These days being sexy is what kids prefer, and
by saying sexy, wearing a tank top, and a top that shows a lot of your
skin.
Todd: OK, a lot of skin. So tank tops. What about a
guy? What would a guy wear for a shirt?
Jeyong: A guy would be wearing casual hip-hop pants,
and maybe a polo shirt.
Todd: A polo shirt.
Jeyong: Or a top.
Todd: Like just a t-shirt.
Jeyong: T-shirt.
Todd: OK, now for a, would a girl wear hip-hop pants?
Jeyong: No, girls wear also sexy clothes, maybe short
skirts or comfortable jeans with high heels.
Todd: High heels! Now aren't high heels hard to dance in?
Jeyong: They are actually, but then it looks better
with high heels on. They look taller.
Todd: OK, what do the guys wear? Obviously they don't
wear high heels.
Jeyong: No. Guys wear sneakers.
Todd: Ah, sneakers. OK. Now do you wear anytime of
jewelry or anything? Do you wear necklaces or?
Jeyong: I personally don't wear a necklaces but
earrings. Big hoops. Silver ones. Those look really pretty at the clubs
because it kind of shines, and
make-up is really important, too.
Todd: Really! OK.
Jeyong: Like for eyelashes, you want to have a really
strong look for your eyes, and maybe lip-gloss, would look good on too.
Todd: Now, do the men wear make-up these days?
Jeyong: No, but then perfume would be a nice thing to
put on guys.
Todd: OK. Now you said you want to look sexy, right,
but you're 19, so when you go to the night club, can you leave your
house looking like that, or is that something you have to hide from your parents?
Jeyong: First, of all I don't go to night clubs that
often because I'm not a party-party girl, but then I like dancing so I
only went to club once when I was in Korea and I actually told my
parents the truth that I am going to a party at a club so it was
alright for me to wear sexy clothes and then leave home.
Todd: Ah, that's good, you have very supportive parents. OK, well thanks.
