The end is nigh...part 2

Okay, so I admit that I've become addicted to reading articles on the trainwrecks that are Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton even though they contribute nothing positive to our society. I don't know why I'm surprised that this was a leading story today. Do we not have any other more pressing news in the world today? Between Jamie-Lynn and her sister, they get more press than any of the soliders that died in the war. Sad isn't it? Maybe they're whole family would be better off if the media would stop covering their antics. Of course, it's been reported that their mother is writing a parenting book. Because she's done such a good job so far on her kids, you want her guiding other parents right? I'm no Dr. Phil, but I'd have to pass on buying that one.

In other news, during one of my latest shopping excursions I happened to pass a Hollister store. I've never been a fashionista so it's not surprising that I've never shopped in this store before. That and the fact that the largest size they seem to carry wouldn't fit my big toe. Anyway, curious, I walked through the store shaking my head at the size of clothes today when I came across a mannequin sporting a tank top, short shorts and leg warmers. Yep, leg warmers. C'mon, for serious? Leg warmers are back in style? Not only that, but they sell arm warmers. I realize I'm not hip, but if you need arm warmers, wouldn't you just wear, I don't know, a long-sleeve shirt? Guess that's not in style. I feel suddenly old, fat, and way out of style. I'm not saying we need to be transported back to the last time leg warmers were in style (waiting for the flashbacks of big hair, spandex and neon colors to subside) but wow. What's next cut off the end of socks and call them toe warmers?
