Return of the Shoulder Pads: Scariest Trend Ever.

I will just start this post off with a HUGE Sideshow Bob-style shudder.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{so wrong}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I'm talking, of course, about shoulder pads. In a word, BLEAH. The last time shoulder pads were in style, I was a young tyke, but even then my shoulders were well and broadly formed. One never realizes how much one can be insecure about one's body until one is forced by evil-minded peers into succumbing to a trend that looks truly horrible on one. ...Or words to that effect.

I could be overreacting, of course; I just saw a tweet that shoulder pads are coming back into style this year and was instantly transported back to looking like a fifth-grade female football player. Trauma! Thank goodness I now have the self-confidence to say, "Fuck you, hideous trend! Begone with you! Keep your absurd fashion laws off my body!"

Of course, I did that when capris first came out, and that didn't work at all. But I'm now convinced that shoulder pads pretty much look goofy on everyone, so hopefully the trend will be short-lived. We can but hope.

Okay, seriously now, who loved 'Designing Women'? Because I used to love 'Designing Women'. It's true.
