Fashion Faux Pas
« on: August 07, 2003, 09:20:00 am »
Ok ladies, enough already with the big tinted sunglasses and sandals with the long straps. There's a reason why this shit went out of style the first time around, and it's not just because some corporate god though up a different ugly fashion trend to root more money out of your fickle wallet.
 
    And men, cut the label off of the blazer sleeve. We the general public are not going to get all excited when we see that label on the outter sleeve and say "Wow, he saved up a pretty penny to buy himself a plaid tweed Polo Ralph Lauren blazer to wear on a hot summer day in July." No, we're going to say, "What a fucking dork."

I too, hate those weird sunglasses a lot of women (and men) wear, especially in miami. They aren't fully tinted and the darkness fades.. it looks like trash. You are trash. Get real sunglasses before i gouge your eyes out.  :p

Kind of like taking musical advice for Mankie, right? I'm sure we all jumped on the Carbon Leaf and My Name is Cloot bandwagons once Mankie told us what great bands they were!

I'm still looking for that one band Mankie keeps going on about.  Unchained Melody or something....  What was their name?

Let's get rid of the flip flops with 5" soles too.  Nobody should be wearing shoes that could function as a life preserver.

What are the sandles with the long straps?  Ankle straps?

Procal Harem!  ;)  
 
 On the subject of stupid fashion....in the gym, why do some women wear spandex pants then tie a sweatshirt round their waste so we can't see their arse? I am personally there to exercise not check out girls arses so couldn't care less, but if you don't want men to see your arse then wear baggie sweat pants or just wear a long tea shirt that goes below your arse...you look like an idiot on the treadmill or stairclimber thingie trying to tighten the knot in the sleeves all the friggin time. Sorry for the rant, but it's a pet peave of mine. Oh the other thing that bugs me is the blokes that wear those almost not there tops and psychadelic sweats...they don't look gay but they don't look straight either, they just look like twats.

Yes, I saw both of those articles. And couldn't believe how many DC women I saw wearing both within a week.

One more thing...what's with this new trend of blokes hugging each other all the time? You know like girls do when they meet.
