Worst trends ever II

[aurora_borealis]

I was picking up pedicure essentials (since it is almost May in Alaska and therefore I will allow myself to wear sandals as long as my feet are cared for) and I noticed this SCARY new product. Fake french manicure TOE NAILS. I understand some people might have a need for this but wouldn't it be worse if one came off in public...the adhesive residue would get everything stuck on it. YUCK.

I am filing that one with the black panty liners...

1) Carhartts anywhere but the barn. I had never seen one until I came to school here, and I wish it was still that way. People wear Carhartts EVERYWHERE, including to parties. Ick!

2) This is a specific case, but I am sure others have done it - I was walking to work the other day and I saw a girl wearing black capris that lace up the back. I think those pants are pretty fugly to begin with, but the fact that she was wearing them with white lacy anklet socks and chunky black oxford shoes...EECH!

3) Overweight people letting their stomach/back hang out. I realize I am not the slimmest person ever, so I make sure my shirts cover stuff.

4) GLO Overload: wearing a baseball hat, necklace, t-shirt, shorts at the same time. One of our SigEps was working this the other day and it was just too much!

5) Ugly sorority coats - ours is all baseball style and hideous.

6) Girls who join just for the coats.

7) Girls who do the walk of shame and don't go straight home, so the whole student center has to see their racoon makeup.

8) Girls who wear skirts and don't shave their legs! EEEEEW!

9) Girls who do makeup overload and throw on scrub clothes - like pajama bottoms.

10) White girls who think that since they are dating a black man, they should dress "thugged out" with the do-rag, rolled up pant leg, FUBU, etc.

I went to the NutCracker in Anchorage with my exboyfriend. He was born in upstate New York and lived in Southern California before going back to school in New York. So we are dressed appropriately; him in a dark suit, and I had on a black sheath with pearls. Seated to my left was a woman in torn, stained, faded orange Carhartt work pants, a holey tie-dye shirt from the Blue Grass festival, polar fleece leopard print socks, and Birkenstocks. The person to his right was wearing a matching sweatpants outfit with gold chains and unlaced Timberlands. I had no idea what Carhartts were until I moved to Alaska. One town has a Carhartts Ball every year...hell we also have a Duct Tape ball.

A trend I think is long over due for ending is...ANY sticker on ANY vehicle that has Calvin urinating on something or someone. He needs to be potty trained immediately.

Lastly...today I saw MANY women wearing white pants, I would never wear them, but if I did I would make sure that:
1) my pants were not completely see through so people can see any tattoos (I don't have any)
2) that I am not wearing ANY printed or colored panties, and not white either, a nude color would be the least detectable
3) that my choice in underwear (granny, thong, string bikini, boxer..etc) is not SHOWING THROUGH.

Question for the ladies, and maybe the men...in Walmart there were these panties...part thong part something...called a SKONG...what is a SKONG????

I used to make fun of my dad allllllllll the time for wearing UGLY Carhartt overalls in the nasty mustard color, he had the whole set, the jacket, the flannel lined jeans, coveralls, AND overalls (it took me a long time to figure out the difference b/t coveralls and overalls). This winter though, I found myself wishing that I had a pair, and even borrowing my dad's cow poop covered overalls because of the horrible winter here. It seemed like every Weds. and Thurs. we had another 3 inches of snow and I had to trudge around campus cold and wet. This might not seem like a lotof snow to people up north, but last year we had like 1 inch of snow all winter long... I find myself actually (cringe) respecting the Carhartts... Hey, they keep me warm...

This just annoys me...

White guys that wear those stocking things on their heads... Who do you think you are, eminem??? You don't have an afro to cover up, so don't try...

Color contacts... You can still see the brown in the middle of your fake purple eyes. Or the ones that make your eyes all white... Noooo that is scary!!!
