I've never understood long nails, sheer fabrics and heels you can't really move around in. What's the point? If your nails are so long you can't open a soda can or dial a phone, and your clothes prevent you from doing anything even remotely physical because they'll snag or tear, and you heels are too high to walk fast or efficiently use an emergency exit, what statement are you making? It seems weird that anyone would want to wear things to make them less self-sufficient. Why are so many women’s “fashions” designed to make women awkward or impaired?

That is to say, you tuck in one side, and leave the other side out. To make it even worse, the guys are now doing it. Last time I knew, you either tucked the pants in or left them out if you were a woman, and wore them on the outside if you were a guy. When did all of this halfway stuff become fashionalble?

WHY!!!! Behind this trend I would say those bubble dresses you know the ones that look like you took a full length dress and folded it so you have a short dress. To make it worse I only see heavy girls wearing them...I mean really they don't need the extra volume if you know what I mean!!!! I can't find a good link for this but YUCK! LOL at the knee warmers!

These are great. You know, the one I <em>really</em> hate that is popular right now is the saggy "tight" pants. Saggy and baggy was bad enough, now they have to do it with tight pants. Uggg....

Most of them from the 80's, no? I fell for a few a those, but I was young and naive??? Didn't know any better? Or just plain fashion victim? Yes, "fashion victim" is the way to describe it.

Very impractical and not very cute. As for leg warmers, I laughed when I realized how easy it was for me to find them for two Halloween costumes. Yes, they are back. Dancer or not.

I really don't know how explain it other than, I think the uniform almost becomes symbolic of repressed sexuality, and ends up being kind of fetishized.
