My parents couldn't believe that kids in the 70's wore overalls to school. Overalls to my parents were the badge of extreme rural poverty in the early 50's. The idea that middle class kids would choose to wear overalls seemed absurd to them. Perhaps rightly. I sure never wore overalls, but I'll rat out my dumbass brother for doing it.

I never wore overalls either. But my girlfriend in high school looked damn cute in 'em.

Somewhere, Junior Samples grins an evil grin.

Yeah...I mean I was thinking more of KISS rules/Disco Sucks type fashion when I wrote that. Basically Hyde from that 70s show. Boots, Boss hair, and Baditutde.

tattoo,s for sure. they are all over everyone nowadays and are nothing special.

plus wait until you get older and have one that starts to fade and stretch out and look horrible. especially when you have them all over.

I'm not sure what fashion trend needs to go away. But after a few days in Vegas I can assure you that for any current female fashion trend (now or at a later date) there should be an upper weight limit on any woman wanting to follow said trend.

There should be an upper weight limit on women who want to go out in public, irrespective of fashion choices.

Kind of discriminatory iyam. What about people who are around them in private.

A fashion trend, I guess isn't really clothes, but the explosion of people riding fixed-gear bikes sort of screwed up my head. At first, they were the bastion of bike messengers and ex-messengers, and served as a status symbol and a symbol for recognition, but now, you see a bunch of people slow-poking on racing bikes. Riding very slow on a track bike is like driving a Ferrari in the slow lane.

lol :P

Larry King as America's fashion compass.

That said, he has made them a trademark which transcends fashion. Kinda like Tom Landry and his trademark hat.

The only way you will get a disease if you go to some sht hole scratcher artist. Catching something is basically non existant. Most people don't care if their tattoo looks different b/c it won't really happen until you are probably in your 50's.
