There are a lot of things out there that are annoying, bad drivers, slow talkers, etc. However, today I have to say that bad trends caught my eyes:

1. Short shorts or skirts with UGG boots!

This is a concept that is beyond my grasp. It’s Southern California. It doesn’t snow so why do you wear snow boots? But to take it a step further and to combine it with a short skirt or short shorts; who are you fooling? You look like an idiot. I especially hate the snow boots that have wedge heels. So tacky. And don’t get me started on the mocassins. How did this slip through the cracks of the fashion magazines?

2. Boys who wear girl pants

I realize that this trend has been around in the older punk scene for some time. However, it is now a fad that is hitting our youth. It is a fad that is geared more towards the ’skater’ kids, but seriously if you combine these pants and a trend such as #4, it is hard to differentiate if someone is a boy or a girl. Especially if the boy hasn’t reached puberty. Beyond that, why would somebody that needs to able to stretch and move around a lot, lean towards such a restrictive attire. It just goes to show that fads are just a bunch of people copying others that don’t necessarily have great ideas.


3. Excessive facial piercing (ie. anywhere but the ears)

People who get tons of facial piercings are just seeking attention and not thinking of the future impact of their choices. They are choosing to live a life in which they can’t be taken seriously. Besides, who wants more holes in their heads anyway?

4. Boys who have girl hair (Think Zac Efron)

Now I will admit that I really have no idea who this actor is other than he is in the tabloids from time to time but I do specifically remember seeing a picture of him in some magazine with his hair in a pony tail. There is something wrong with a guy who has longer hair and bangs than a lot of girls. Maybe it’s the fact that he probably uses more hair products than I do. What happened to men being men? Maybe I would respect you if that hair was growing on your chin.

5. Excessively printed jackets

I HATE THESE JACKETS! They look like you are walking off the street in Detroit (yeah I said it) and you either have stains all over your jacket or you drew all over it. They are not worth the cost. Hey look at me, I spent a lot of money to stand out and I look like a heard of zebras. And don’t get me started on the recent start of shiny gold print. Grrrrr.
