The day when teenagers exhibited a scary fashion sense.
There’s a fine line between fashion and insanity, and some people seem all to eager to cross it. Just now I was riding the subway on my way home from the shopping mall, and my eyes kept fixating on two teenage girls that were sitting next to me. It may sound awkward, but I just couldn’t help staring at their horrible wigs – and I mean horrible as in unrealistic, plastic Halloween-like wigs… from a website that does indeed specialize in Halloween costume wigs.
How do I know this? Quite simple, dear reader! Those silly girls just kept bragging about the cool website they’d found, and how they were so certain they would “for sure” set up a new urban trend. Oh, the horror. Oh, the humanity. I almost felt like intruding their horrid conversation and asking if they would like some halloween hats to go along with their ugly wigs. And why not wear a fake rubber mole, while they were at it? Now that would make a hot new trend, for sure.
I’m telling you, dear reader… when you realize American teenagers engage this kind of sordid reasoning, with their major aspiration being the transmutation of plain Halloween accessories into full-blown fashion statements; well, that’s when you realize there’s something very wrong with our society. I’m just wondering how those girls will dress up next Halloween. Maybe they will try looking like regular people, for a change? Maybe comb their hair and steam press their rugged shirts and skirts? Nah… that’s probably too bold for them!
