Sidenote: My 3rd cheque from Nuffnang just arrived yesterday! The amount…WOW!
“I’m telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh) But you keep fronting (Uh) Saying what you going to do to me (Uh huh) But I ain’t see nothing (Uh)…”
They are a bunch of sexy kittens bitches chicks ladies, aren’t they? Don’t get me wrong, I love most of their songs but I am talking about the real buttons here. As in…
Butang/Buttons
The other day while I was buttoning my shirt in front of the mirror, I couldn’t help wondering why my shirt buttons are all placed on the left side while those on my school uniform last time were on the right side.
Apparently, buttons on women’s clothes are placed on the left side while men’s are on the right. This conundrum has its roots in the Victorian era, at a time when buttons are expensive and mostly worn by wealthy people. Women also had servants to dress them. Given that most people are right-handed, their buttons were placed on the servant’s right, which is the wearer’s left side.
Men, on the other hand, dressed themselves so their buttons were placed on their right side. Those who could not afford servants copied the style of the wealthy, and women’s buttons have remained on the left since.
PS: This post is Pussycat Dolls’ Buttons-inspired
