Shoulder Pads

Dear Designers, the ’80s sucked balls the first time around. In the name of Knot’s Landing, can you come up with an original idea? Shoulder pads? Really? Shoulder pads? As a girl with enough shoulders, I take extreme offense to this entire trend. I’ll look like a line backer if I wear half of this shit. It’s not cute. Oh sure, the size zero models you design for could use a little extra shape, but anyone over a size four will look like Shamoo. And in case you didn’t get the memo, we women who are size eight and above, kinda run shit, so you might want to take that into account.

Extreme Blusher

I’ve seen a couple of girls out and about trying to rock this hyper-blushed trend. At first, I thought they were bringing awareness to the issue of domestic violence until I realised they were trying to pull of a ‘look’. This reminds me of when my grandma used to smear red lipstick on her cheeks and rub it in. That looked much better than whatever this ‘trend’ is trying to be. I thought the purpose of blusher was to bring ‘a little’ colour to your cheeks. This makes you look like you’re either extremely embarrassed or just finished a round of fisticuffs.

Animal Print

Ahh nice, yet another look that’s been done to death. A little zebra or leopard print on shoes or a handbag is fine, but throw on a whole dress of it and you look like a tacky pub landlady or someone with an extreme gambling problem, or both. Unless of course, it’s a costume party and you’re going as a drunken cougar, then it’s totally acceptable.

Whew – here’s hoping Spring 2010 brings more exciting things.
