LucyStoner Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) How about expensive cupcakes with bacon on them!!Doubly so. Nay, triply so. I love bacon. In limited amounts and in savory dishes. I even like cake. But not together. And cupcakes usually have a too high ratio of frosting to cake. Plus they are usually dry little wannabe cakes. Bleck bleck blecky bleck. (I know, I know... tell you how I REALLY feel!) Edited February 6, 2016 by LucyStoner 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Newcasts that report on what Joe Blow from Muskogee on social media said about the snow storm. .. or what Bill Bling from Detroit said on Twitter about the last presidential debate. ... or what Jane Doe from Crystal City says on Facebook about the latest blockbuster movie release. OMG, give me real news, or just shoot me. :iagree: And on a similar note - get rid of the word and verb Twitter and Tweet on the news, and ban politicians and government officials from broadcasting gossip through this medium. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Sagging pants were associated with gangster rap because prison clothes are almost always issued in sizes way too large. Rappers fronting that image borrowed the look and took it to clownish extremes. That said, some variation of mild to moderate sagging has long since been embraced by a much larger subculture than those interested in gangster rap. Waist lines for many type of pants have moved from the waist to the hips. I haven't see the clownish exteme sagging here in a long time but I hear it's still out there. Somewhere.

Katy Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm pretty sure it's to help cut down on internet piracy. You can pirate a computer program, but not a subscription to one. This. Plus, with things like Photoshop & Creative Cloud, one of the selling points was the tax benefits. If you have a business, the subscription costs are a straight write-off. Expensive software must be depreciated. Plus, subscription means they always have the newest version. I've used OpenOffice for years. For some things, like math, the free version really is better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartlikealion Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I live pretty far under a rock, so this probably isn't new - and it's probably not so much a trend as it is a new way of doing things - but I don't like the subscription model. It makes sense for things like Amazon, Netflix, etc. but I don't want a subscription to Microsoft Office. I just want to own it, and I don't want to pay a fortune to be able to. I don't like this at all. I use LibreOffice, but I agree. I don't want a subscription to Adobe products. This. Plus, with things like Photoshop & Creative Cloud, one of the selling points was the tax benefits. If you have a business, the subscription costs are a straight write-off. Expensive software must be depreciated. Plus, subscription means they always have the newest version. I've used OpenOffice for years. For some things, like math, the free version really is better. I want a choice. Creative Cloud is an annoying model. It might help a business, sure. But for home use I think it's a huge rip off. I used the trial, but wouldn't pay $50 a MONTH for it unless I could justify it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making the squishiest part the foundation of all the other measurements. It makes sense to have a number/letter combination, but how you arrive at the number should start with measuring where the bra band actually goes! And, the size of the bra band should be the same on a 38A and a 38F, but they aren't. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) The stage makeup application for everyday life. I don't understand it... You don't need dramatic eyebrows, four various foundation color applications, highlights/ strobing and false lashes just to go to the grocery store. And what's up with the yellow raccoon eyes?I literally just left a a Waffle House where seven friends and I just waltzed in wearing stage make-up. We were leaving a show. The consensus was that going somewhere by yourself in full drag makes you feel conspicuous, but as a group you don't care. And speaking of make-up, I'm ready for winged eyeliner to be over already. I'll do it for stage, but I'm just ignoring the trend IRL. For the record, I've got good messy bun hair. It's fine and very curly. It keeps my hair off my neck, but looks better than a ponytail and less severe than a bun. Edited February 6, 2016 by KungFuPanda 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocassie Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have gotten a really good laugh this evening. Oh, my! The truth is, very rarely does a fashion trend actually flatter me, therefore making me despise it to eternity. Leggings, not so flattering, but they are oh so comfortable. Luckily I'm short and have a short torso so every shirt is to long and just perfect for leggings. :) As long as I'm comfortable and don't particularly care what others thing, I'm good. Once I start caring again, uh oh the leggings will have to go. ;) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 The messy bun. Sure, a few gals look cute in a casual way but most women look like they let their 3yo do their hair. Add yours! In my case that may possibly be true 😠1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Trends that need to die.. hmm.. those super high wasted pants. They wear them with short tops. Just.. no. I've even seen bathing suits with the high wasted bottoms. Like way above your belly button. They would have to be the most unflattering thing ever. I just can't. I have a theory about those. You have to have a totally amazing body to wear them. So people wear them not to look good but to say "guess what, I can wear this horrendously ugly style and STILL LOOK GOOD.

pehp Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 This thread is cracking me up. I thought of 1 or 2 things when I read the title, but then added many more as I read through the responses and was furiously nodding. Awesome Sauce? MUST GO (My sister uses it all the time. I love her. can't stand the phrase). My son, who is 8, is currently obsessed with man-buns. A friend of our family has one. I am So Not Into Them. But I put his hair in one anyhow (he never wears them out of the house), knowing full well that he'll one day look back on it the way I look back on my dreadful perm-with-mullet when I was 9. The beard on every male under the age of 30--definitely not a look I like. (Some look great with it. But in general it's too trendy for me.) Leggings under tunics/long shirts/dresses are fabulous, but leggings with a short shirt, where you can see all the bits and pieces?? Noooo. I totally agree about selfie sticks and the selfie-obsession in general. I get a little squirmy around guys wearing skinny jeans, rolled, over short boots or loafers w/out socks. To me, that just looks SO silly. Vera Bradley. There, I said it. (Maybe that trend has died, but around here it's still staggering around on its last legs.)

Rebel Yell Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'll quit wearing leggings as soon as I can buy a pair of jeans designed for a woman with actual hips. When I find a pair that fits my hips they're saggy and awful around my legs. Not an issue with leggings. One of my DDs inherited my ginormous butt. super-stretchy skinny jeans seems to work well enough. Usually a little big in the waist, but they fit and look like jeans. Slightly off topic, but I want cuter shoes for people with wide feet. I may have feet like a granny, but I'm not a granny! OH MY GOSH YES!!!! I buy my clothes on $0.99 cent day at the thrift store, but I would gladly pay $100+ for a GOOD pair of not-ugly (I gave up hope on "cute") shoes that did not make my feet hurt and are not sneakers. :crying: Okay, and that reminds me of another one... "Awesome Sauce" needs to disappear. On the other hand, I used to say Cool Beans, so what do I know? I'm just an old curmudgeon. (LOL) Easy Peasy. That phrase makes me want to kick cute things into traffic. Bras that do not actually fit. I'm sorry, I know it makes it harder for you, bra manufacturers, but not every woman who has size E+ cups wears a 36+ band. Some of us need a 28 or even smaller. Yes! :iagree: And also, sometimes A-cups (ummmm, we actually need negative letters here) need a 38 band. Don't get me started on that! I start spitting tacks.

And, the size of the bra band should be the same on a 38A and a 38F, but they aren't. :cursing: Bra shopping is not a happy time in our house. We have a large-band-tiny-cup, large-cup-tiny-band, and another who is in no-woman's land between girls 34A and ladies 34A, which are two COMPLETELY different sizes, and neither fits. So we have two who are lucky to find one or two bras to try on and not likely to fit, and another who can try on literally every 34A in girls and ladies, and maybe find one to fit if she's lucky. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Girl Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Deleted quote out of respect for the poster. I don't really see this thread as people being judgmental so much as people just sharing likes and dislikes in a lighthearted way. People like and dislike different things, but we're all adults. If I see that someone doesn't like a particular trend that I, perhaps, think is cool, I'm grown up enough not to get my feelings hurt about it. I'm betting everybody else is, too. What I'd like to see go away--celebrities whose only claim to fame is being famous. So boring.

elegantlion Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I don't know, I'm watching Lost for the first time (I'm on season two and yes, I know I'm way behind the times, lol) and I've been finding myself thinking some very naughty things about Sayid and his occasional man bun. ;) Since they took Doctor Who off Netflix, I may need to get over my hurt feelings about the ending and watch LOST again. As for trends that need to die, I hate shoes that are not real shoes. I want some real material, not plastic all man-made materials. I'm kicking myself for not buying those real leather boots this summer that were 35.00 on Amazon. The same pair is now over 100.00. It's not just cheap brands either, some name brand boots look so cheap. I know not everyone wants leather, but I want a pair of shoes that will last more than one season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
