Unintelligable Fashion Statements
Over the past few days — first in Los Angeles and then in San Francisco — I have been seeing a flurry of fashion “statements” that are saying something to me vastly different than I’m sure they were intended to say.
“I do not own a mirror.”
This seems to be the most popular.
“I am legally blind.”
Or it could be this one.
“I borrowed these glasses from Angela (from “Who’s the Boss”).”
Why? Weren’t they dopey enough looking the first time?
“I just got out of my time machine — straight from 1982.”
Again: wasn’t it bad enough the first time?
“My stylist went to the Pat Benatar School of Hair Design.”
‘nuff said.
“Legwarmers — if they were cool enough for Jane Fonda and Olivia Newton John, then they are cool enough to revive!”
Gods help us.
Seriously, I’m not sure what is worse: the fact that I am old enough to remember these abysmal fashion statements from their Regan-era incarnations… or the fact that they really haven’t gotten anymore attractive this go around.
Christ, I feel old.
