Stop That Now! Or Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Fanny

It's time for another round of Stop That Now! - my findings of fashion don'ts that must, in the name of all things good, be stopped immediately.

Today:
Why your tush is not the place to showcase your trendsetting bravery.

It's no small fete to take on a trend and try it out in the public eye. And it's no small ass that can handle the appointment of body billboard, parading not one, not two, but three trends at the same time, across a mere 12 inches (give or take) of prime rump roast.

Which is why it was so easy to zero in on this girl's posterior from across a crowded rooftop bar:


While I apologize for the quality of my camera phone and its nonexistent flash, I do not apologize for trailing this woman around the bar with a quest to capture these "all-intrendsive" shorts. Note the three summer trends happening on one piece of fabric: short-shorts + black & white + floral = a whole lot of junk on one trunk. Amazingly, the rest of her outfit was nondescript. It was like the only place on her body she was willing to take a chance on fashion was her gluteus maximus - the one spot most women want to make less obvious.

While it's unfortunate to spend money on clothes then not wear them, at least these shorts can find new life covering a very small throw pillow.
