Current trends (stay away from mine)

[Kelly Kapowski]

So, what trends do you guys like right now? Actually, I'm not even sure what's trendy right now, i'm out of the loop. I DO KNOW, however, that owl necklaces like this are in:

http://i22.ebayimg.com/06/i/08/4f/6a/d6_1_b.JPG

YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW THIS? well, listen up. When i was 3ish, my grammy gave me that exact same necklace (only it was silver), and then when i was 12 i left it somewhere and then it got sold. But anyway, my grammy reminded me of it about 6 months ago and i was like, "ohholy shit!" b/c i forgot about it and i love owls, so i went onto ebay and found the almost exact one i had and bought it. Then i started wearing it and everyone was like, "wow!" or something. Not really but they probably thought it. Then one day a few months ago I was in Nordstrom, and they started selling these owl necklaces! I was like omfggg wf. Then when I was in Green Park in London in May or June, I saw a really cool awesome girl wearing one!! You GUYS. It was infuriating. So don't even think about getting one or i'll shit on your neck.

Ummm, I hate those garden clog shoes more than fucking anything. Also, ankle boots I hate.

[The Tourist]

I hated it when people started wearing diamante encrusted cockrings. I'd always stuck my own gemstones on with superglue, and then WHAM... all the other guys in the locker room suddenly had these jazzy little numbers on. :cry:

[Kelly Kapowski]

i just imagined a gem fell off it and went into yer pee hole.

[The Tourist]

fer fecks sake! that was my party trick... so who else do ya know who does that?

[Hi There, Am Pam]

Bailey, I'm mesmerized by your avatar. I pretend he's a robot cat who goes, "bleep, blop, blorp". Either that, or an alien species of cat who has come to invade Earth. "TAKE ME TO YOUR LITTER", he'd say.

[Kelly Kapowski]

fer fecks sake! that was my party trick... so who else do ya know who does that?
oh pity, i thought i made it up! Well, I may try it anyway at my next party; one person per country should be able to do this trick.

Hohn, firstly, it's a she, yeesh!!1!L Actually, it looks more male but i like girls better. Secondly, I do agree with bleep blop blorp, altho i may prefer bleep blop boop. But anyway, i never know quite what to think of my avatar. All i know is that i love it and i like to sometimes think that he/she's a nurse holding some important person's health record, or it's a student holding its homeworkkk...i do not know.

[Kelly Kapowski]

oh my god i just realized i have the same pink sweatshirt as my avatar! mine has silver sparkles all over it tho D; wow

[Hi There, Am Pam]

All i know is that i love it and i like to sometimes think that he/she's a nurse holding some important person's health record, or it's a student holding its homeworkkk...i do not know.

Oh shit, you just opened up many possibilites in interperting your avatar.

[Kelly Kapowski]

i always think the white part in the background is a fence, too. I actually never notice its eyes to be honest :O

[Hi There, Am Pam]

What did you think the flashing was?

P.S., I'm eating vegitarian chili, and it's all over my beard.

[Kelly Kapowski]

hey shizzz, does it come in like, a plastic bag?

umm i just thought the flashing was a stigmatism.

[Hi There, Am Pam]

It's Amy's Vegitarian Chili, but I'm a slob.

My cat looks like an angry Kermit the Frog.

[Henriette]

Why does everyone have cat avatars now? Not that I'm complaining. It must be a new trend. I should upload a Mitsou one.

Ok, current trends: Um, scarves as headbands? I don't know.

[gangsta puffin]

can i just say that skinny jeans with flats make me want to kill?

[Hi There, Am Pam]

Ok, I just realized that pink thing on the cat's head is a hat. I thought it was just apart of the background. This is freaking me out.

[Static Split Screen]

I hate:

Skinny Jeans
Metallic shoes/belts/purses/shirts
Big ugly strappy purses
That stupid thing people do with their hair where they make a bump on the top of their head and they look like dinosaurs.

[ramblingrose]

I'm quite obsessed with green eyeliner at present, and I just bought my friend an owl brooch, it looks really really cross, which is cool. I'm also rediscovering very old clothes, I went to a wedding recently and wore a dress that had been hiding in a wardrobe at my mother's house since 1998. Never worn it before either! And I found a skirt from about four years ago that just seems perfect now, and a pair of shoes I bought when I was 18 that just keep on coming back to being right.

Oh dear, I don't think you'd like me very much.

[Kelly Kapowski]

haha i never noticed that!! hohn, maybe YOU should have this avatar, tho i'm never givin' it up. You should have it too, though!

Laura would hate me too b/c all my bags are the size of my house. Irish John says they are unreasonably big, but I think they are just fun or something ;( and sry guys, i like skinny jeans with flats ;(((( but i know that it's really overplayed. I still like the look tho, o well. I also like metallic D: but mostly for just shoes and some bags.

but please, does anyone here have those gardening clogs?? PLEASE BE HONEST (so that i can openly hate you) (just kidding but really)

[The Tourist]

skinny jeans are quite unpleasant, moreso on boys. when they started selling them in topman they had really naf posters up, stuff like "FINALLY, GET THAT ROCKSTARSUPERSTARGLITTERMARIAH LOOK THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED. SKINNY JEANS, AS WORN BY SOME TALENTLESS, JUNKIE "MUSICIANS".... YOU STUPID FUCKS, DIE, SUMMER, DIE. BOYD HOYLAND IS A STUPID CUNT.DIE, BOYD, DIE.

and so on.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who hates "skinny jeans" :yes:

[meepmeep]

blimey

[Kelly Kapowski]

hi jamez

[Peter]

whenever i see a dude in skinny jeans I always wonder "HOW THE FUCK ARE HIS LEGS THAT SMALL???!!!" because my legs are NOT skinny by any measure. I have tree trunks.

[Static Split Screen]

Only really skinny people seem to wear skinny jeans, because normal looking people look weird in them.

[Pele]

Oh god, skinny jeans can not possibly last long. Such an unflattering look on 97% of the population. You know what else? the lineny ruffled rounded-collar shirts. And wedged boots. I'm sure I'll think of more later after witnessing various fashion horrors at work today.

[gangsta puffin]

i have to admit, i do wear skinny jeans, but ONLY when tucked into knee boots. regular jeans are too bulky to go under boots.

[wasp in a jar]

i wear skinny jeans and killer heels all the time. it's the only thing i know.

i sometimes wear them with flats too, but my legs are stocky so it looks a bit rubbish.

actually, skinny jeans look a bit rubbish on me at the moment as i am a fatty.

[Leela]

Grania, you couldn't wear skinny jeans if you were a fatty. Trust me.

I know this is kinda out already, but I HATE HATE HATE really pointy shoes. I think they're horribly unattractive, and they just SCREAM bitch. and I think square/rounded toes are much prettier. the end

[Static Split Screen]

I agree, though I have seen some nice pointy shoes, but it's a rare thing.

[Cheryl K]

I saw a guy with really pointy shoes today. It looked really funny.

[Mary Alice]

well we're not 12 so I don't think this trend applies to anyone here but still

kids are wearing those shoes with wheels on them into the mall (I work at a mall, and here's hoping not for too much longer but that's another story) anyways they're basically roller skating through the fucking mall and one day one of them is going to fall and bust their head open or else make an old person they run into fall and bust their head open. I can't stand those fucking shoes...roller skating is fun but they need to quit zipping through crowded public places where other people are shopping and basically being a nuisance.

On the flip side the roller rink is going to close down because no one goes to it...it makes no sense...that's where you're SUPPOSED to roller skate.

[Intern Kate]

i love flats, they're all i wear.
and i like the skinny-jeans look (if it's not done in an "I AM A HIPSTER" way) but haven't attempted pulling it off myself. for the first time in a million years, i own two pairs of jeans i am absolutely in love w/. one is a wideleg (not flare, okay) trouser-esque Triple Five Soul pair, the other are dark indigo, slight-bootcut Levis with a smidge of stretch.

once upon a time, i mean at least two years ago, i liked the leggings look. but now it's played too much, and i realize it rarely looks good.

hmm. for tops, i've been sometimes layering tank-tops over tees (long, 3/4 and short-sleeved.) oftentimes i have no idea if i look like a crazy bag-lady, a total tool or quasi-decent. and i really need new shoes. thee end.

[lisa]

i also must admit to loving the skinny jeans... when i first started hearing about this trend (aka when guys started doing this) i was horrified and remembered being a young girl wearing "skinny" clothes in the late 80s/ early 90s and how i thought such a look could NEVER EVER possibly resurface cause it was so horrible, but when i saw a few girls wearing them i thought hmm that looks cute, so i tried it out and i love it... yes with flats, but not always.
generally i hate the trends that emerge every season like the militaryish thing that was so big last year i despised....so i feel like a tool now because i love the look this season which never seems to be the case, and i know in a year something different will be what everyone is wearing, but jeans that fit good do a lot to make you feel better about people looking at you.
i also find the clog things ungodly horrible, and hate those kids that wear rollerskate shoes, and pointy shoes scream hooker, and i HATE the tights look i mean people wear just tights wtf!! or with a skirt.. it looks so grade 10 i cant stand it, and ive never seen the owl thing but it looks cute to me.

[Intern Kate]

yeah, my cousin in 8th grade does the tights/leggings thing. she's a little cutie and prob my fav cousin so i say go for it. but i repeat, 8th grade.

oh yeah, and there was a boy i was kind of crushin' on last year in school, but after seeing him wear those gardening clogs, try as i might (and i did a little) i couldn't get over my inner snob and muster up an attraction toward him anymore. there were other reasons too, gawd. and i am not 100% confident in this, but there was a possibility he was in-denial-gay.

[ramblingrose]

are these shoes those horrible plasticky things with holes in?

[Intern Kate]

YES.

[ramblingrose]

closeted! or so "wacky" you'd forever have to rein him in. What colour was he wearing? I'm imagining that kelly green.

[Intern Kate]

good question, though i honestly can't remember. maybe red? i remember way before they were a big craze, Molto Mario wearing orange ones, they were/are his shtick. kind of.

[ramblingrose]

I don't know who Molto Mario is! sob. They're still awful though. I bet AC Slater wears them.

[Intern Kate]

LOL. he's on Dancing With the Stars!

ps Molto Mario is a stout, red-haired (pulled back in a ponytail) tv chef of Italian cuisine.

[ramblingrose]

that makes sense! And it's good to know that Slater's still alive! I found a bit of paper in my room with "14.05.99" written at the top, and underneath it said
"AC SLATER, ZACK MORRIS, JESSIE MYRTLE SPANNO". I have NO idea why.

[ramblingrose]

and I've just thought, I wonder what Kelly Kapowski, Lisa Turtle and Screech ????? did wrong to not get on my piece of paper that day!

[Intern Kate]

seriously! they are my favs. though i like Zak too. AC and Jessie were always so gross.

omg, wow. i am really wondering the significance of that date in collusion w/those names.

[ramblingrose]

I had a really boring office job back then, that's probably the significance.

[wasp in a jar]

I know this is kinda out already, but I HATE HATE HATE really pointy shoes. I think they're horribly unattractive, and they just SCREAM bitch. and I think square/rounded toes are much prettier. the endi wear pointy shoes when i am feeling bitchy :D

[ramblingrose]

i wear pointy shoes when i am feeling bitchy :D


so do I! I only have two pairs, and that's what they're for.

[Leela]

I just like rounded toes OKAY :cry:

[Kelly Kapowski]

screech has a sex tape in which a dirty sanchez and something with bodily fluids is performed, with 2 other girls mind you!

[Kelly Kapowski]

oh and pointy toes elongate the body to make your legs look longer ;o


edit: but i hate like REALLZY REALLY REALLY ridiculously pointy shoes, like ones where there's 3" of no toes at all and it's like what. They're kinda rare but i've seen it happen with mine eyes

editedit: kinda like these:

http://www.shoebungalow.com/prod_images_large/b5396l1.jpg

[Leela]

Yeah, those are the ones I'm talking about...they make me think of the Wicked Witch of the West or something

[ramblingrose]

god they are absolutely AWFUL.

[milpool]

i love pointy toe shoes more than anything. i saw the most awesome pair of purple pointy toe shoes with a cute kitten heel and like a fucking IDIOT i didnt get them cause it was right before my trip and i didnt wanna spend money. turns out i spent like no money on my trip and couldve easily bought them ); i'm gonna go to the store today and pray they are still there.

[Intern Kate]

good luck!

btw Bailey if you ever see this, i don't know if you've been to Faces lately but they have 14-16 dollar flats that are in the shape of our old Payless ones, in red, brown, black and different metallic shades too. there are also more rounded ballet-esque leopard print flats w/ a bow! i will get some pair, hopefully tomorrow after work, but haven't yet decided which.

but on Mario Lopez: the other day i was visiting my Grandma and we were talking about Dancing with the Stars and she couldn't remember someone she was trying to talk about so she went and brought a piece of paper where she'd written down all the contestant's names and info about them. she's obsessed. and she kept saying she has a crush on Mario Lopez with his adorable dimples.

[Kelly Kapowski]

oh wow, i need a pair to replace my zebra shoes b/c those have gone to shit. Thanks for the heads up!

[gangsta puffin]

megan, you're back!!

and pointy shoes are awesome, they do make your legs look long and thin. however, i am extremely picky about just how they come to a point; like bailey pointed out, the ones that go out sooooooo long past the toe are a NO, and they cannot be squared off at the end!! that totally ruins it.

and i hate square toed shoes more than just about anything.

[Henriette]

These bags seem to be in, but I want one anyway.
