I bet you, one zillionth of a bitcoin, that all of them are wearing make-up. Unless they have a plain ponytail, they did their hair this morning too. Even short hair takes styling. They don't, like the song says, wake up flawless. (That should not be construed as a suggestion to poll them about it. It's nunya.) I wasn't really talking about slacks vs dresses either as it's definitely possible to cycle in a skirt, it's more about being rumpled. Again, looking fresh.

As for California, most of the news you hear about culture in California vs other states is really overblown. American culture is pretty homogenous. For this discussion, the weather is a bigger difference than the state. News outlets like taking something a progressive neighborhood in SF (or Madison!) is trying, and tarring the entire state with it.
