Yes! The worst is when they decide to make it more profitable by downgrading the quality! They never maje it better!

Have we reached Peak Beard? Maybe it's just envy on my part - couldn't grow a full, manly one to save my life.
Hitler Youth haircuts
Ink for every occasion. I can see it if you rounded Cape Horn or actually did something worth memorializing

Beards, not the nicely groomed ones but the ones that make a man look like he could end up on a federal watch list.

Women getting lip injections, yes we can tell, no it's not attractive just stop.

Activewear out for dinner on Saturday night. When the male half is wearing a nice button down and slacks and the female is wearing head to toe Lululemon... Just no.

Ear gauges are not unsanitary nor do they impact the quality of your food. If you want to take your business elsewhere as a result, so be it. But that's on you.
Those ear gauges are just stomach turning to look at. Maybe those cashiers are employed to promote weight loss...but that's another discussion for another thread.

Nobody is being alienated, I suspect most of the public is used to ir and ignores them unless they're really huge. It's not mutilation in the slightest, either. That just sounds moronic. Up to a certain size, tbey can close up just like a normal ear ring.

Well, I’ve finally noticed another fashion trend that I deplore. Mostly I have a live and let live attitude about how others present themselves. But I feel like we’ve reached a sort of tipping point.

My granddaughter looks awfully cute in tights and a top. She is six years old and adorable. Grandmas do not look adorable in tights and a tee shirt. We just don’t. Tights and knee length dress—sure. Long generous top covering bum and tummy, yeah, OK. Tights and tee? Not unless Grandma is tiny and fit.

Sorry, but as a Grandma myself, I think the tights thing is understandable but fraught with problems for us older women with generous hips and tummies. I don’t think ungainly is a good look for anyone.

I am posting this, having decided I can wear tights with a denim dress I bought. So, I do think tights are options for us older women. But the vast majority of us need more coverage than a tee shirt.

That’s my controversial fashion opinion for today.

Years ago I thought ponchos were ridiculous---but the cold shoulder look has become my new poncho! Surely this will fade soon. I just don't think it adds anything to the look of the garment or shows off a body feature. It just shows a patch of skin on the upper arm! I guess it gets me going because it shows how people can become sheeple. I don't think all these people ever woke up pining to expose that portion of skin---just a clothing manufacturer did it---some people jumped on it because of the novelty so more manufacturers started to do it and more people buy it...
