Rain Man 01-08-2004 10:53 AM

Oh, I got quite a few......
 
NO MORE REALITY SHOWS! They're nothing but a bunch of sensationalized bulljive anyway!

NO MORE "PSEUDO-TALENT" SHOWS, including that loehme joke "American Idol"!! For crying out loud, it's Star Search meets The Gong Show. Just because you can hold a note for 3 seconds does not mean you should capitalize on a singing "career".

NO MORE SKANKY "HNH" (Hooker 'n Hoe-esque) outfits. They are not sexy and AFAIC, do nothing but give me a "soft-on".

By the same token...

NO MORE WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE WEARING THOSE SUPERTIGHT BOOTY HUGGING PANTS COMPLETE WITH VPL FOR EVERY MAN TO SEE. They just invite sexual harassment lawsuits to run amuck. PLEASE go back to the classy 80s style blouse and skirt numbers that IMHO are super sexy and THE BOMB. That's why I loved the TV show Dynasty back in the day, dang Linda Evans and Diahann Carroll was HOT!!....but I digress.

NO MORE RAPPERS SHOWING OFF THEIR COSTUME JEWELRY BY FRONTING, BRUSHING, FLOSSING, RINSING, OR WHATEVER THE HECK YOU CALL IT NOWADAYS.

NO MORE "MAURY" PATERNITY TESTS! I thought I saw it all when I saw a billboard for Maury that read "Who's Your Daddy?" To which I responded, "Not you, nucca."

NO MORE TV SHOWS THAT GLAMORIZE CELEBRITY MATERIALISM. More of the same pablum puking bulljive.

BRING BACK THE FEATHERED HAIR AND THE 80S FASHION. IMHO that was the BOMB!!

I Love the 80s!!

We can tell. I mean after all, you wear a POMPADOUR willingly. You could be a The 5 Heartbeats on Ice cast member.

OMG, I have heard that same line since high school, come on, be original. At least tell me which Heartbeat I look like..b/c frankly I saw T5H recently and my hair resembles NONE of the 5; their hair in the back was short and tapered, mine is longer and thicker.

RAIN MAN, you look like Choir Boy. Methinks, if you have been hearing the comments for THAT long that should tell you something.

Ummm. I feel you on the end of booty-hugging pants, but I was in my 20s during the Dynasty era and WORE 80s-style dress/skirt numbers in the workplace. I don't want to go back to linebacker-style shoulder pads.
:p

To be more specific, it should tell that that the 80's mess is officially ugly. UGLY!

Not compared to the skanky Show And Tell fashion hype of the New Millenium. And when you see that mess creeping slowly and subtlely (is that a word?) into the workplace that should tell you something. At least the UK and the European countries put that mess in check with the quicks.

I would welcome sistahs with tieneck blouses, full length pleated skirts and linebacker shoulders with open arms and a loud "Go on with yo' bad "Fridge" (read: William "The Fridge" Perry) lookin' selves. It would be TRULY a sight for sore eyes.

*Insert "Super Bowl Shuffle" line with the Fridge rapping, "I can dance, as you can see, the others, they all learned from me...."*

Sorry RM, but eighties business clothing for women really is hideous.

At least 90s business clothing for women was stylish, but yet conservative enough for the office.

You're kidding right? I LOVE those shows. (I know, it's shameful and embarrasing to witness these as a member of the human race, but these shows "be callin' me.") ;)

CrimsonAngel2001 01-08-2004 03:37 PM

no more fishnets, especially if you are on the "thicker" side and have little fat pockets coming through the nets

no more pelvage showing (think of the low pants that Brittany Spears and pink wear that is bassically to the bikini area)

mothers decked out in designer gear (real or fake usually the latter) and their kids look like they need to be on one of those "if you give just 10 cents a day this child will get...." commercials

I am addicted to them too but just once I want a sista to go on there say Maury he is the dad, I'm sure. . . .Maury say, He is not the dad and for the sista to just say okay and sit there. Don't run, Don't do the funeral cry. Just accept her ways and resolve to be a good parent to her child.

People with that level of maturity will never be on talk shows in the first place.

I know the paternity shows are ridiculous and sad but they are funny to me b/c these some of those people are so over the top!!
Plus, they keep me and my co-worker/friend up when we are at work!!

BTW, it is just me or has the Maury audience started acting like they are on Jerry with all the chanting??

I thought I was the only one who has been disappointed about Lane Bryant's clothing for the last couple of months. I swear that LB is trying to make up "big gurls" look silly. What is up with all these dang gone prints...UGLY printed shirts. Now some (and I mean some) of their clothes have been alright. Then I swear they are putting items that where on the rack last year on the rack this year. I brought a green sweater last year on sale, then I go to LB over holiday break and see the same sweater for twenty bucks (almost full price). I heard that LB was brought by who ever owns fashion bug and I hate fashion bug.

feu_declipse 01-08-2004 09:04 PM

Down with AppleBottom jeans. Nelly is seriously grossing me out. I was unfortunate enough to see the Tip Drill video - umm disgusting much?????:eek: :eek: :eek:

And the website for his jeans is just tacky, not PG and unnecessary. You can't even look at the clothes. All you see is some topless girl all up on him. And the apple cursor??? Give me a break. Meanwhile, tell me if the backgroup doesn't look like half-eaten apples -the way they get colored from exposure to air. Eeeeewww

That is correct, Soror. The Limited sold Lane Bryant to Trashy, err, Charming Shoppes Inc. in 2001 or so. And I am royally SICK of much of their stuh. In 2002, I bought a couple of cute summer dresses (a white pique I brought to Leadership and an LBD), but now, NOTHING. Their durn pants don't fit me (I have a very small waist and big butt).

It seems that the management has real contempt for its clients. My core wardrobe is bought at places like Talbots Woman, Off Fifth Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet and Nordstrom Rack. Very happy that I live in SoCal.

So THAT'S why they've gone from carrying a lot of nice clothes for the office to a bunch of gypsy-print rags.

I started shopping at Casual Corner a while agp because I began to notice that LB started getting "slim" on the work appropriate clothing.

Three years ago, I was in Bermuda w/my godparents' family and Maury Povich was on the TV. This time, the baby mama, Kim, was ordering a paternity test for Perry and TC.

The babyperson's name was Perrion. :eek: Kim was absoutely convinced that Perry was the babydaddy. But of course, the test found that TC was the father, and Kim ran off screaming and crying like a wounded animal.

My aunt turned to us and said, "So will the baby be called TCeion?:rolleyes: " CTFU...CTFU...CTFU.

*End continued hijack*

Well, this babymomma can carry on all she wants, but I'm glad somebody turned out to be accountable in this situation!

Y'all remember the cousins by marriage who ended up having a kid together?

I HATE those gypsy print clothes. Who in the hell would wear that? I wish I went to school in an area that has more store geared to plus size women, but I'm not and LB is all we have. Dillard's and Famous here just figured out that that plus size women don't need big pictures or ugly prints on all their clothes. They have gotten alot better with their L.E.I women's clothing line, but it's slow a coming.
