  1. Tori,

    I have to tell you about this outfit I saw in the capitol once. This girl had a hot pink and black outfit on. It looked like an Avril Lavigne for Kohl's advertisement. If those colors weren't bad enough, it was a black short sleeved dress. The length came to her upper thigh, with black and hot pink FISH NETTING fringe...that had sparkling glitter confetti chips intertwined in the fish net fringe at the bottom of her distastfully short dress. No pantyhose...but she had a black sparkly leg warmers, with black ballet flats that revealed most of the top of her foot. Topped with a black headband with something on top of that.

    By the way, it was about 35-40 degrees that morning.

  2. Hi, I found your blog on the KSU Memes FB page and I have to say, I've become quite a fan. I am very excited to read the rest of this post because it is something I see often and just cringe with disdain and fear for future generations. Sadly, it will only get worse.
