trend-a-coaster

it freaks me out to see trends come around again. it makes me feel old, and i know i'm not old. but, like, i was just at urban outfitters (buying BOWLS; how old does that make me?), and there were all these ringer t-shirts. and you know, i've always been go team ringer-t, i never stopped wearing them. but lo and behold, they were marketing grey and black mickey mouse ringers. and that actually made me freeze for a second and do some math. because i own one of those shirts. it wasn't the exact same shirt; mine seems a little more solidly constructed, but essentially the same shirt. and i've had mine since march 1995. so that's 7 years. and i bought it at a vintage store in west hollywood to begin with. so it's on at least the second go-round as it is. but now it's cool again, and columbiaites will be wearing it with their pube-jeans and newsboy caps. and i will be mad because once upon a time i was young and trendy and wore lowrider jeans and ringer tees and newsboy caps. but now the girls wearing them are like 5 years old and have perfect tiny little bodies and their idea of low-rider is very different from what mine was in 1996.

so i bought bowls.

Just keep the kids out of the rugby shirts (hell all sportswear for that matter) and I'll be happy.

Yes, I'm one of those pretentious bastards that thinks if you don't play the sport, you shouldn't wear the jersey. ;)

Phew! I guess it is safe for me to wear baseball (er...softball) jerseys...

if it makes you feel any better, i'm so old that i didn't even know any of the above fashions you mentioned are what's in style right now!

not that i particularly care about what's in style. nonetheless: pass the geritol and the bifocals. :P
