Dear Fashion Industry:

What the fuck is up with the resurgence of ponchos?! Just for the record, ponchos are a WORLD OF NO. Always have been, always will be.
The only person who has ever looked good in a poncho in the whole history of time is Clint Eastwood in those Italian westerns he made. NO ONE ELSE EVER HAS. Period.
Please stop trying to market ponchos as a viable alternative to jackets, sweaters or evening wraps and please stop filling fashion magazines with them. They are ugly. They are ill-fitting. They make people look retarded. They were bad in the 1970's and they are still bad to this day. If a kid wore a poncho back in my grade school, they were mercilessly teased.
I suppose we can look for a revival of moon boots next? Or perhaps crocheted beer can hats?
PS Stop it with the trucker hats already, they are stupid. They also cease to be ironic in Texas, where non-fashion-concious people just wear them all the time.
