These Fads are Over - Part 1

So here I am again after a long break, for which I have absolutely no excuse.

Today's topic: "These Fads are Over, Part 1"

1. Leggings as pants. This fad is over.
Thank you to one of my theater friends for pointing me towards an enlightening article about this not-so-hot trend that has even been (wait for it...) GROWING. I apologize to all of those currently sporting hot pink, lacy, and/or zebra-striped leggings as you read, but there is no need. To quote, "if you are hot, it is distracting," and "if you're not, it is disgusting." I will agree with the author in that they are entirely acceptable under long sweaters, minis (but not too mini, please!) and some dresses with some boots. That's all.

2. Cougars (yes, you). Your fad is over.
No thanks to reality tv and the publishing world, the women that roar are only making noise for themselves. I don't think you're cool because your growling mate is 20 years younger than you and could be your cub. The term "cougar" in itself implies that you run around seeking attention and preen in the corner when you're not. I'm not interested in watching you preen, sorry.
