Ahhh! shiny purple pants!! Too funny. I bet she thought she looked hot, too. My friend is going as a 1970s hooker for Halloween, and she has found the most amazingly bad gold lame leggings. I can't wait to see them in action.

mumblestutter- yeah, that would be 80% of girls on my campus.

Seen at my local Winn-Dixie (supermarket, for you yankees): Attractive woman in her late 30s wearing a long sleeve blouson style teal JUMPSUIT, the kind with the built-in elastic waist, with satin evening heels (champagne) and teased hair. She looked like she had jumped right out of a soap opera from 1983.

crinoline-
you don't happen to be the nashville/tn are might you?
and was the woman a pale redhead by chance?
I know Exactly a woman who would wear something like that, minus maybe the teased hair.
in fact, when you said Teal Jumpsuit she totally came to mind and I haven't been in contact w/ her in years. some looks for some people are " timeless."

Can someone explain to me what is up with all the shiny leggings? I've seen purple and gold so far. I know they're being sold at American Apparel but why is anyone actually buying them?!

There was a girl crossing the street wearing a dark gray, boxy, oversize tshirt from like 1984 and THE most hideous shiny, skin-tight SHINY spandex pants.

Sounds like your everyday Face Hunter hipster to me.

I, on the other hand, saw a lady today wearing a trés fluffy jumper with a protruding kitten motif,
where the ball kitties were playing with popped out like a door knob on the front, right beneath her boobs.
It was vile. Women of the world, express your love for kittens elsewhere than on your fluffy jumpers.
Plus, big boobs + fluffy, mohairy jumper don't mix very well in the first place.

I was out with friends this past Saturday night in the Kitsilano area of Vancouver and watching people crossing the street when I spotted the most amazing sight I'd seen in years! I started yelling, "Anthea! Anthea! Shiny purple pants! Shiny purple pants!"

There was a girl crossing the street wearing a dark gray, boxy, oversize tshirt from like 1984 and THE most hideous shiny, skin-tight SHINY spandex pants.

Doe was on the phone with her Ernie and I swear all he heard was "SHINY PURPLE PANTS!"

I think we were all suitably horrified.

ha ha ha, mr hanky!

Flanker--Maybe she's planning on going as Mr. Hanky for Halloween and forgot the Santa hat?

Mumblestutter, I think you just described half the girls I see when it's Game Day at my local university.

Girl in my math class, who usually dresses cute/trendy, with a little edge, was dressed entirely in the same shade of dark brown one day last week. Top, skirt, patterned tights and flats. All dark brown. WTF?

[mumblestutter]

like uh, american apparel meets my grandfather meets the terrible parts of goodwill? was that what you were going for? BECAUSE YOU SUCCEEDED

(also HOW THE HELL do you go to the bathroom? you have to take off ALL YOUR CLOTHES)

[phobia]

I am so tired of the terrible 80's refugee giant thick shiny belts for no reason, especially as worn around those weird shirt-dress things. Gah.

Also, there is this lady who works in my building that is SCARY. Big poofy 80's hair alllll moussed up, really really scary-assed eye makeup with evil drawn-on eyebrows, and don't even get me started on the earrings and shoulderpads. I swear, every time I see her I have to pull out my cell phone and assure myself that it is, indeed, still 2007. Urrrrgh.

Won't someone please come and take the 80's back where they belong?

Hello all! I <3 this thread! I work for a timeshare company, (in Vegas no less!) so I look forward to being able to share in the CoF's because I see a lot on a daily basis!

[hellotampon]

long bottle-blonde curly mullet
some black outfit with red roses on the chest and fake fur trim (kinda mid-90s)
big, frosted pink purse shaped like a clamshell (the ugliest thing I've ever seen) with a huge silver clasp
frosted pink lipstick

and the guy she was with had a mullet. We saw them approaching the store from outside and my boss said, "Brittany! Stay right there! YOU wait on them."

[mornington]

*snort*

hey, at least he/she/it was consistent...

*passes bleach to quietmadness*


I myself would like to report the wearing of tights under leggings, to create a sort of patterned multi-layed effect. Also, I have no idea what was going on sunday, but there were busloads of over-made-up fugly "fashionistas" heading the same way. The leggings sans any sort of shorts/skirt caught my eye. As did the long tweed "city shorts" over brown patterned tights worn with clumpy (actually, in a nice way clumpy) brown boots. why did she just not wear trousers?

[grrrlyouwant]

at the aquarium saturday:

vans, no laces
baggy, knee-length plaid shorts
ratty fugazi t-shirt
plaid flannel (that didn't match the plaid of the shorts)
shoulder length buttrock hair
soul patch, freakin' soul patch!

hi, 1992 called. it wants its look back

[quietmadness]

From the bottom:

Chunky-soled blackish brown sketcher-type shoes, SQUARE toed.
Stirrup pants, no socks. Yes, STIRRUPS (not leggings.) They were this yellowish color of spandex-y stuff. Almost yellowish greenish like. Ewwww...

Rabbit fur jacket with spots all over it over a nasty white wife beater T-shirt.

But those damnable stirrups over the ugly square toed shoes? Yeah...

I swar.

Bleach me now, please!

[missladyj]

I should also add that i reeked of chlorine since I forgot to bring lotions with me. I am so gross.

[missladyj]

I must admit to being a COF this morning.

I went to swim laps then teach my water aerobics class and woke up later than I'd have liked. So I left the house in my pajamas. This consisted of Lepoard print wide leg slighty shiny and furry pajama pants, black t-shirt, black sweat shirt with the collar cut out ( very 80's ) jean jacket, and pumas all of this hot mess was made even worse because I wasn't wearing a bra which as a well endowed women, is never ever attractive. I ended up at the grocery store too.

This is my penance. Bad missladyj.( slaps own hand really hard)


My loving husband even tried to stop me. But I wouldnt listen to him. I was really comfortable which is no excuse. I should know better
