Trend Warning: Camel Toes
I was going to call this section “Trend Watch.” Then I realized that I’m afraid of most returning trends.
Take the camel toe, for example. I was strolling through a mall yesterday when I noticed a store boarded up for renovations. The entire facade had been plastered with gigantic images from the store’s catalogue, blown-up to decorate the storefront until it reopened. That’s when I saw it: The world’s biggest camel toe.
I couldn’t believe that anyone would have chosen that image for a print campaign, nevermind for a billboard-sized advertisement. I don’t what the retailer was trying to sell, but it was more intimate than a limousine ride with Britney Spears — and almost as disturbing!
Trends come and go, and I honestly love the fact that what’s out today will be in tomorrow. Still, I tend to shy away from clothing that reveals the private parts in all their anatomical splendor. Call me old-fashioned, but I rue the day when vaginas are the new black.
