Dark Beginnings

Posted in by mariagivesyouwiiings | Edit
Every day we wake up and take on the daily grind, popular culture and fads throw themselves at us, from the billboard outside your window to the "punk" who ninjas your seat on the metro. Having spent the last few months in Montreal, I have come to truly loathe all that is trendy. Let me warn you now... this is not for the weak at heart.

I've seen atrocious things. Children and adults alike reading Twilight on their daily commute. Women with hair so big they must know the secret of life. Teenagers so fat that not even all of Richard Simmons' spandex could cover what theirs has simply failed to do. The ever-ridiculous pairing of shorts in the dead of winter - with heels she cannot walk in. Men wearing multiple scarves... as belts?

All of these things have made me question my own style... but we cannot hate the concept of style - we must distrust others as inspiration. Fads have always been questionable at best so put down that graphic t-shirt telling everyone you are on "Team Edward."

We do not care and you look stupid.
