what is the world coming to?!?!

In breaking news, the Wall Street Journal reports that leather shorts are in.

For summer.

Sorta how bare legs in a skirt were/are in. For winter.

I think I'm the only female in my generation who would consider going without nylons for a summery beach dress. Maybe. Then again, my skin is nearly blue so going bare-legged is practically an affront to public decency.

Anyway.

Do you see those? Those shorts have a "paper bag waist."

"Paper bag waist" sounds rawther shabby chic. Taking a cue from Mugatu's Dere-lict! campaign, are we?
Ladies, don't be fooled! The only people who should be wearing pleat-front bottoms - and that is what the "paper bag" is! - are the gentlemen who grace the pages of Brooks Brothers and L.L. Bean.

Just watchin' out for ya!

Usefulness of the day: Well, if the above wasn't useful enough for you...even if it doesn't look dusty, be sure to regularly clean your computer (and television) screen to reduce eye strain.

I am far from an expert on fashion, but those are very ugly!

Persuaded: Rumor has it that a Zoolander II is in the works. Curious to see how the kids at the School For People Who Can't Read Good are doing!

Kimber - My thoughts, too. Even on her, though, though outfits is hardly flattering.

Dragon - Hot and sticky, too...leather in July, who thought up that one?

Leather shorts? You can't be serious! Forget about any fashion statement they may make; what about the DISCOMFORT they'll have?
