I was sad to hear of Joan Rivers’ passing – very talented and able to be funny in diverse fields of comedy, plus most importantly, she seemed to not give a damn about anyone being upset. Rather than blog about career highlights for her like this is wikipedia, I thought I would list the top five worst fashion trends of my lifetime, since most people know she thrived bashing style choices.
5) This new jean shorts pulled up to the boobs trend. Sorry, I don’t get it. Short shorts are nice, but trying to be sexy and encouraging camel toe while looking Urkel-esque is for the birds, if birds wore pants.
4) Designer sweatpants. Just because your ass has “Pink” or “Sexy” stamped on it, you’re still wearing sweatpants in public. I saw a lady wearing sweatpants to work a couple weeks ago. You might as well wear a trash bag around your waist and throw cats at passersby.
3) It wouldn’t be fair unless I implicated myself. In college, men wearing rings was pretty popular, so I got a bead necklace and wore at least three rings, including a huge silver and onyx eagle ring. I looked like a white wannabe pimp with a drinking problem.
2) Tight rolled jeans. Some called them french rolled, some tight rolled – it was when you folded your jeans over and rolled the bottom, exposing your white socks or white legs and giving a nice tapered look that exactly no one should have on pants ever. If you did it with stonewashed jeans, you probably should have had stones tossed at you by children.
1) The explosion of bangs. This was really a bizarre hairstyle that was big in the late eighties. Basically, women would tease their bangs like they got electrocuted, then douse the affected hair with Aqua Net so that Paul Bunyan couldn’t part their hair with an axe.
This poor soul probably spent 40 minutes making herself look like this. There should be a public big bangs picture burning in town squares across America for these.
