“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

While piddling through the morning papers, I came upon what New York Magazine predicts are the Nine Trends for Fall Fashion. Sure there were other major ridiculous stories that were begging for my attention to comment on. Like that buffoon in Obama’s Military Office who arranged for the $350,000 photo shoot for Air Force One, a ridiculous story that I commented on weeks ago and wondered then why this guy was not fired on the spot. And there’s the piece about Celebrity Twitter Overkill. I mean…please. These celebrities going on Larry King to say they Tweet to bring voice to Africa or some such nonsense. Have you read their Tweets? You could barf from the mindless self-promotion that goes on ad nauseam. Look, that’s what Twitter is for…call a spade a spade…and shut the fuck up. But Africa? I mean…what?!? It’s hard to center on one story each day with all the utter nonsense that goes on in this world, but I wanted to do my Weekend Update on the “trends” as per “The Cut”, aka some pretentious cow with no clue. Below are their reference pictures and titles, with my comments as to why they are soooo NOT trends that will help save the ailing retail industry, a.k.a. the demise of “editors that predict trends.”
