Stop That Now! Part 1

I'm adding a segment to this blog called "Stop That Now!" I'll be writing it whenever I see someone on the street wearing or doing something that is just not right and should be stopped immediately.

Today:
From Top to Bottom, You Can Really F--- Yourself Up Good if You Try

One trip to Bob Evans (where I successfully, but bitterly, stayed away from the biscuits and gravy) revealed two trends that must be stopped immediately:

1) Penciled-on eyebrows. There is a wonderful new way to define eyebrows: Powder and a small angled brush. If you're not using it, start immediately. The look is natural, and you don't get that certifiable Miss Havisham surprised expression. Besides, when freehand drawing comes into play on the face, very few can turn out the work of an accomplished artist. For everyone else, it's like drawing stick figures over your eyes. Stop that now!

2) Pajama bottoms as pants. This is the laziest fashion trend. Ever. Are you so tired that you simply could not pull on a pair of outside pants? Or were you in such a hurry to get Bob Evans hotcakes (which is, of course, understandable) there was simply no time to dress? If I got close enough to you, would I find there was also no time to brush? Keep those fuzzy plaid jammies at home where they are better suited for an America's Next Top Model marathon complete with Dibs and a side of Pringles. Stop that now!

In Defense of the Eyebrow Pencil:

They are easy. They are friendly. They don't drift down onto your nose which has already been carefully shaded and powdered.

And what if I like looking like a clown?
