But, I am sure that this is just Lubbock, Texas and I do not echo the sentiment of other communities....lol.
I'm sure you'd find it more if you looked harder
As for me, i'm against school uniforms, primarily because there's a good chance i'd end up wearing one

I went to an all girls grammar school we wore school uniform all the time (though pretty much all schools in Uk wear uniform)
Despite us all technically wearing the same clothes, you could tell the rich from the slightly less rich. You could tell the popular girls from the geeks.
Its not what you wear, its how you wear it.

I am with Nancy on this one... I think I am pretty sure I can tell the difference between Britney Spears in her school girl uniform and that chick from SNL. But then again... perhaps I just have a very keen eye 
oh wait...we were talking aboutmoney... my bad.

Not to mention the hair, make-up and bling. You can usually tell the whores from the normal girls.

Exactly.
Especially when you are dealing with girls around high school age. They use the make-up and jewelry to make up for what they cant wear. In places where make-up or jewelry is regulated as well, you dont have the problem, but it rarely is regulated like clothes. (Is it in the army? I dont know...)
I went to two different schools in high school... One was uniforms, but make-up and jewelry were fine however you wanted to wear it. The second one I graduated from was a boarding school, uniforms and no make-up or jewelry was allowed on campus, and had to be removed when your parents dropped you back off from a home visit. (We also couldnt wear make up or jewelry for school outings) In that school, we did judge eachother by who we were. Its also apparant in a situation like that, that some girls define themselves by the money they or their family have. Thus, they were obivous, depsite the jeans and polo uniform and no make-up or jewelry, but at that point, no one around you cares and you'll just annoy them.
However, that said, I still dont like uniforms. In the end, you end up being friends with the same type of people you would have been friends with if you were all wearing what you wanted to wear. Maybe you wouldnt have talked to them as quickly, but the outcome is basically the same, especially when you're going to school with them or living with them in some form, for over a years time.

At my school, officially you were not allowed makeup and jewellry was limited to necessities only, ie a watch, religous symbol and small studs if your ears were pierced.
Ofcourse how closely you had to follow those rules depending on how much your teachers liked you.

Growing up in a nudeist colony 3000M SW of The Great Salt Lake, I have to say that we did not have to wear uniforms, and we were definately judged by other... uh... things. I have to say that popularity did change with the seasons (tempratures).
