Put the shawl away, trim the ends off that Elmer Fudd moustache, and get a new couch. Even Alanis Morisette wouldn’t sit on that — it’s a little too ironic, doncha think? You know the old adage… “Girls don’t make passes at douchebags in glasses.”

Taking a photo of yourself in footie PJs and putting it on the internet is a creepier version of wearing a mini-skirt and walking past a construction site. Congrats.

Stop being “crafty” and go watch The Craft

Apparently these devices are “skirt bracers,” intended to give “your skirt your skirt that adorable kirtle skirt look.” They appear to be made out of the wire your 5th grade teacher makes you plug into potatoes in order to power a lightbulb, and are paired with a weirdly plain office skirt and a cheap sex-shop bustier. Cool. Sign me up.

Black leggings don’t go with khaki shorts

In fact, nothing goes with khaki shorts. If you’re not working in a deli and making me a tuna on wheat with yellow peppers, put those things back in your closet and put on shorts made out of a real fabric. Actually, maybe you should put on some pants so that you don’t need to wear longjohns under them. That’s right, I’m saying it — the only difference between leggings and frickin’ longjohns is that the sensible people who wear longjohns have the sense to not match them with Uggs*. Also, is that the unabomber on your shirt?

*Which these are not, by some miracle.

Somebody please explain this to me.

What’s so wrong with gloves?

I am not a hippie hater. Some hippies live next door to me, and they have a black cat that always hangs out on my doorstep right before I get an overdraft — that’s some helpful shit, so don’t think I’m trying to badmouth the whole fashion aesthetic. It’s just these arm warmers. They look like toxic waste. Creepy, sparkly toxic waste. This is the kind of toxic waste that turns you into a Ninja Turtle if you’re not careful. And not a cool one like Donatello — this is the kind of toxic waste that turns you into a Ninja Turtle with a puce bandana and a broken bottle of 2 buck Chuck for a weapon. Ugh.

I do not like:

  • the playboy bunny “reverse tan”
  • ladies who bring their lunch to work in Victoria’s Secret shopping bags
  • the greatest example of ass writing ever.

Happy Monday.

Yamanba (ヤマンバ, Yamanba?) sometimes written as “yamamba”, is a fashion trend among young Japanese women. Starting with the bleached white hair and heavy tan of the ganguro girl, the yamanba adds white lipstick, white eye makeup, and sometimes brightly colored contacts, plastic clothing, and inappropriate accessories. Some yamanba wear stuffed animals as decorations, talk with a slurred speech, and enjoy shiny neon or dayglo colors.”

Looks like Pink got in a fist-fight with a voodoo priest. Which is kind of cool, I guess.

Yeah. If putting tights on your arms doesn’t make you feel like enough of a jackass, why not cover the tights with prints of celtic knotwork or ugly flash art? Thanks, 2009.
