So this post is a little late. I’m talking about the trends
featured on last week’s episode of The Fabulist on E!. Whenever I can catch
this show, I really enjoy it. It’s a great way to know what the new and
emerging trends are. Some are ridiculous and others are fun. So here we go…
Going Commando
Who knew this would ever become a trend? I grew up in south
Louisiana, and the idea of not wearing underwear makes me a little sick. The
humidity is so bad that you sweat everywhere. If you’re not wearing underwear,
there’s nothing to absorb your genital sweat, and there’s nothing to block the
odor. There are few body odors stronger than “junk sweat”. Even one of the
female panelists made mention of the fact that “females get moist.” I almost
threw up at that thought, but it’s a good point. Furthermore, and this idea is
completely new to me, the panelists discussed the use of the “vag patch”. This
was created to cover a woman’s delicate flower in case she chooses to go
commando and wear a dress or skirt. I have mixed feelings about this. What are
your opinions? Get me off the fence, please.
Crazy Brows
Apparently it is a trend now to have fierce eyebrows.
Celebrity women are now shaping and coloring their eyebrows to make them bold
and stand out. This can be awesome looking but also extremely creepy. I’ve seen
photos of celebrities, like Miley Cyrus, who have bleached their eyebrows. They
looked non-existent. It was very disconcerting, like something out of a
science-fiction movie. So bleached eyebrows are not on my fabulist, but shaped
and bold ones are.
Overalls
NO! Overalls are never fabulous. Farmers are necessary, and
most of them are probably great people doing important work in our society; but
they have no place, nor would I imagine they want a place, in fashion. Not on,
nor will they ever be, on my fabulist. I know I have a strong opinion on this,
but I hate them.
Post-sex Selfies
But first afterward, let me take a selfie! It was
just a matter of time before someone decided to brag about his sex life on
Instagram. (Yes, I am fairly confident that a male first did this.) Now
apparently this trend is spreading. All I can say is that I am glad I do not
have an Instagram account. I don’t need to know about people’s nocturnal
activities, and I’m sure no one wants to know about mine. Not on my fabulist.
Chunky Chains
I don’t like the name, but I like the look. I really don’t
have much to say about this trend other than the fact that it can really pull a
whole look together, and in some cases it can dress up a look.
Flower Crowns
The Manson Family called…they want their flower crowns back.
Ok… they probably didn’t wear flower crowns, but they were the craziest hippy
group I could think of… I don’t see the purpose of these. There are probably
only a few scenarios in which a flower crown might be appropriate. Even then, I
really hope they’re real. Yes, it’s heavier and more expensive, but the fake
flower crowns I have seen look so cheap and costume like. So if you can’t
afford the real thing, just don’t wear them… Or better yet, don’t wear them at
all.
