Sigh...it seems that "braless" doesn't ever stick around for long. It's gone already, if it ever really was mainstream, for a second or two. A revival of the 70's look, of course. For me it's a comfort issue, not a political/sexual statement.

On a similar note, I hope the trend of getting cosmetic surgery goes out of favor. I keep seeing women with these oddly shaped eyes, cheeks, lips, etc etc. They are UGLY! I don't care what they looked like before, there's no way that that's an improvement. Same goes for fake looking dyejobs. It's one thing if you go for blue or green or something obviously not attempting to look natural, that's cool. But pretending you're a blonde with a dye job that looks like sht, yeech.

Oh, and those 1989 frozen vertical bangs. I hope they never come back.

I hope dyed hair NEVER goes away (of course it won't). I love changing my hair color on a whim and, at this point, it's soooo much better then how dowdy grey would look on me (although some women can pull grey off beautifully without then look 20 years senior). As much as I like things of the past, I sure love our options.

I've been thinking about appliances a lot. I love my 1950's white stove (which really belongs to BossRadio) and my white Refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom. I got a retro-looking Red Kitchenaid Mixer and I lust after other '50s appliances on a regular basis.

In the future, will the avocado green & harvest gold appliances of the 60's and 70's be super chic? What about Robin's Egg Blue, Poopy Brown and Titty Pink Bathroom fixters and tiles? Will they be as desirable as my houses' 1920's hexagonal tiles and pedestal sink?

Will the fugly wedding dresses of the 80's be beautiful again some day? Will the brides all want blue and gree shag carpet to go with the avocado green appliances? I have a hard time imagining these things being beautiful again. Do we only "redo" the good stuff? Are low cut jeans one of the good things from my childhood that they're back again? It's such a mystery.

Oops, guess I wasn't clear. I dig a good dye job, where you can't even tell. I also dig dye jobs that are supposed to be "unnatural", like odd colors. But I dislike bad ones that are supposed to look natural but don't.

When you go to DLP, you'll see this color red that the scandinavian women seem to use - afterwards your perspective on bad dye jobs will change dramatically.

You mean that was actually IN STYLE once? We always just thought the people who built the house we grew up in were really, really odd.

I'm holding out for the remake of Fantastic Four and the rest of the comic book genre films in 2012.

Ribbons - especailly the large magnetic ones on cars - I hope we leave that one behind.

I wonder about SUVs - how long they will remain popular particularly with gas prices the way they are, if we'll ever get those half-sized Euro Smart Cars.

I would love to have a smart car. just had to say it

Lately I've noticed the 80's have made a return. The day glo, the funky over sprayed hair, and the old madonna style. Good lord, someone make it go away!

Matterhorn Fan · 08-17-2005, 12:19 PM

AND the crappiest of the 80's music, too! It's playing everywhere--all the stores! I finally figured that I have to go grocery shopping during the morning on a weekday (when all the seniors are there) in order to get non-80's music at the grocery store.

I guess some of that has some nostalgia value, but when you hear it all the time, you can't help but realize just how bad it was.
