On the Lookout for Jake Ryan
Barf me out - gag me with a spoon. I'm having a cow. Can somebody please call Marty McFly and get me back to the future?What the heck is going on with fashion lately? Don't get me wrong. I love fashion! But, walking through the malls I'd swear I'd somehow managed to step inside the wrong Camaro headed straight back to 1980. Have I landed in the Cannonball Run? It all happened so fast. Long shirts, striped sweaters, drop belts, leggings, skinny pants? LEG WARMERS? Stop the madness, and please call VH1 to report a fashion emergency. I simply cannot do it again.
My philosophy: It was bad enough the first time around, but we prevailed! If you had to live the 80's fashion nightmare once, why the heck would you want to do it again?
I shutter to think what's next. Lace gloves, bangle bracelets, jelly shoes, lace bows in your hair? Please keep this stuff for your Halloween party collection, people. We don't need to see it every day. At the first sighting of "Mork from Ork" suspenders, I'm moving to South Beach. They don't wear clothes there.
p.s. You are enjoying a lovely photo copied today from www.anntaylorloft.com. YIKES!!

The ONLY good thing about this Fall's fashion is the Gap's reference to (and reverance for) Audrey Hepburn. (Genuflect.)
Otherwise - it all needs to go!! Omigod what if Madonna hears about this?!? It will be fishnet stockings worn under a large button down shirt belted by a 6" wide white belt! And those lace gloves with no fingers!! And the New Jersey bangs! And -- horror of all horrors: White. Open. Toed. Shoes.
God save us...
God save us is right!!! I think I can muddle thru most of it, but please no MALL BANGS!!!!
On the good side-- maybe 80's music will make a bigger comeback!!! Kajagoogoo, A Flock of Seagulls, and , of course, Def Leppard and WHITESNAKE!
PS- Kudos to the Gap for the Hepburn commercial-- simply beautiful! I gotta get me some of those pants!!!
If you haven't seen it already, fishnets are back too. Ava's Dr was actually wearing them on Monday and she looked great, but I'm definitely NOT seeing it on me. And neither is anyone else . . .
