If red nail polish & lipstick are "trends" they're the longest trends ever....

They're not for everyone, but I know when I wear Cherries in the Snow lipstick (a bona fide fashion classic!) I get a lot of positive attention.

My vote for worst trend ever is when everyone went through that phase of tying their coats or flannels around their waist. WTF was that? I mean, I did that in second grade on the school bus, not in college.

The makeup faux pas that drives me NUTS is the dark brown lipliner with the clear gloss inside. It looks like you were trying to put on eyeliner and missed.

Cross Colour, Ewing sneakers (man those things were heavy), those big earings back in early 90s, perm hair (remember those hair bands back in the 80s?)and those jeans with holes.

That was goofy...my sister did that all the time. I used to make fun of her when she would be ready to go out with a light jacket tied around her waist in the middle of August, when it was 95 degrees out. "Good thing you're bringing a jacket...it's going to get chilly later on."

The worse trends , gee there are quite a few. But red lipstick is a classic, and preety toes, I love my toes so they have to be pretty and Gold chains, umm, a lot of people have gold necklaces and chains(isn't that the same thing)
here are some Bad Bad Trends
1. Mega Loads of hairspray you know when you used to rock that fan shaped bangs in the 80's
2. The straw Hat thingys(if your in MD or Baltimore rather u know what I am talking about)
3. used jeans and cross color( the brand)
4. Gold, Bronze, Platnium teeth(it's not cute in the least bit
5. MC Hammer Pants (need I say more)

About the cross colours thing, i have a quick anecdote. They were big in what '92-94? at least in the midwest? i don't know, i was in JH then, but i think i remember a couple of older guys i knew having them. Anyway, my senior year, '97-8, we had an exchange student from the netherlands. Cross Colours was almost all he wore. I guess that was just getting trendy there or something. It's wierd how fashion travels. what's popular out east, hits the midwest a few months later, and the west coast even later, after it's gone in the east, and the same thing for what becomes popular out west. wierd.

Yeah, one of my APO brothers does that and she looks awful with it. Buy I wouldn't tell that to her face or WWIII will begin.

In reply to the worst trend ever-afros. I find that offensive. Even though I am not black I feel that some African Americans may find that offensive- bc that to me is saying blacks shouldn't be proud of the way there hair is able to grow. I don't mean to get bent out of shape, but I don't want that comment to hurt someone's feelings.

It's 2001. Ignorance lives.

Again, I said that the above was just my opinion, I'm not speaking for everyone else. Afros or big hair on guys of any race (Justin Timberlake had one) is just not my personal taste in guys. For example, many guys think that women with hairy legs are unattractive, that is the way our hair grows too. If I offended anyone, I didn't mean to and I'm sorry.

I thought Justin Timberlake looked gross with an afro too. TO steel whatever- were you calling me ignorant? I really don't appreciate that- for your information I am an intellingent female who works very hard- 7 days a week and pays for all my own stuff. SO maybe you are ignorant of others feeligns. The reason I commented on the afros is bc I think sororities and fraternities often make people feel excluded and i think we as a Greek community need to build eachother up and it would be awesome to see other cultures join non cultural sororties more. I think cultural fraternities and sororities are great too.

No, I think she called me ingnorant.

The statement, without context, sounds ignorant. Perhaps you should have cited Justin Timberlake, or whatever his name is, in your original post.
