Take these thong-boot numbers, for example. They're everywhere, but I think they rate so highly on the fugly-o-meter that they should have their own category on it. Or maybe I'm just showing my age...
Then there's the whole leggings-as-pants issue. There must be a million or so blogposts, nightmare pictures, web sites and Facebook groups that all use the slogan Leggings Are Not Pants. Surely the word is spreading, I mean, people must KNOW how awful it looks, right? So who are all these women (often young girls) who insist on offending my eyeballs left, right and centre every time I venture out of the house? Please Freaking Stop It Right Now!!
It would be rude to leave out the boys, so I've got a special little ranty section for you on emo hair for boys. Please - look in the goddamned mirror before you leave the house. Oh, that's right, you can't actually see anything from behind that hair. That explains a lot.
My last baffling fashion du jour isn't necessarily a new one, but a few tweets on the subject the other night made me do a bit of googling on the subject, and I now heartily wish I hadn't bothered. The whole Toddlers and Tiara look makes me wanna throw up, quite frankly, and then bitch-slap the ignorant fucktards who put their children through it. Tossers.
So what makes you want to bleach your eyeballs in current fashion trends? Am I just old, crotchety and stuck in the 80s, or are there others who get as stabby as I do seeing people walking around in public willingly (one assumes) dressed like utter gits?
Anyhoo - signing off on a Friday arvo here in the blogosphere so I can go chill my wine and my wine glasses, 'cos it's officially Very Nearly Wine o'Clock chez Sparkly Tiara!
Mwah's all round and *clink clink*

I have NEVER seen those thong/boot things and I swear I never want to {IRL!}. And yep, with you on virtually all the rest - and I'd also like to add the pants under the bum thing - how, how, HOW do they walk?
Oh god my eyes. What the hell are those tassled thong things? People totally lose their shit when it comes to fashion.
How glad I am that I popped over from the Pink Fibro to read your hilarious pretzel post. So I started to look around and you are so ME. I can't stand the trend of 'boot sandals'. It bothers me in a way I don't even understand. The aesthetics, the confused shoe identity crisis... the fact that you just look like a total bogan when you're wearing them. It's all there.
The leggings as pants issue is a major problem, of course.
I just want to brush that darn emo hair BACK.
And I always spontaneously vomit when I see children in makeup so excuse me while I leave to throw up... x
