Game 1: Topic: Current Girls' Fashion
The other day I was walking on campus and I saw a girl wearing those over-sized, novelty sunglasses that you likely imagine clowns wearing. However, the closer I got to this girl the more I realized that she was wearing these sunglasses, not as a joke, but in an attempt to be fashionable. The glasses stuck out from the sides of her face approximately 6 inches on either side and the lenses faded dark to light from top to bottom. But this was not the only peculiar thing about her "fashionable" attire. She had shoes that looked like slippers, maybe oriental slippers, but these slippers looked like they had be Bedazzled. They had cheap looking rhinestones on them and looked like slippers you might find at the dollar store. To top off the outfit, she had a WWF professional-wrestling type belt on, around her stomach and over her blouse. She also seemed to walk like she was walking down the runway at a fashion show (you know--arms swinging slightly behind her body, head slightly turned with chin up, and swinging her hips like she was trying to put out a flame on her backside). I looked around to see who was watching--because, in a weird way, as she walked I knew that she was walking this way so that people could watch her. Although this girl's appearance may seem like something you'd find on the 31st of October, it's not--and there are many, many similarly dressed females walking around campuses, high schools, and middle schools across America.
Current girls' fashion is a deep and endless topic. So I'd like to focus, not on its current state, but on who's to blame for it. I've narrowed it down to three people--who I like to call The Unholy Trinity of Horrible, Horrible Role Models for Young Women or The Ridiculously-Dressed Axis of Evil--Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan (in that order). These three "ladies" are much like Medusa of the ancient Greek mythology--any person (in this case young woman) who looks at these three immediately turns to stone (or in other words, their hearts turn into stone and they care about no one but themselves--particulary, about how they look). A friend of mine has referred to girls who are under this narcissistic spell as Chufettes (pronounced: choo - fetts). Paris, Britney, and Lindsay (or Prindsay) have inspired a whole nation of chufettes who have become robots that only care about buying expensive, ridiculous-looking clothing, and then matching that gaudy look with a personality that is quite peculiar. The chufette look, created and perpetuated by Prindsay, poisons the personality of the girl wearing the look to the point that her personality becomes shallow, pointless, and boring. This malady is very easy to diagnose, but very difficult to treat--but always results in girls selling themselves short by attracting only the most stupid of boys--or Chufes.
