Ostentation

I’m not talking directly at anyone here; I’m talking to everyone, probably myself.

There comes a point where being ornamental and flashy becomes just ridiculous.

As I mentioned in another blog, I just don’t understand the absolute lack of usefulness and need. I understand you could be like “Kevin, you’re saying that fashion is absolutely worthless? That’s dumb. Kevin, you’re a stupid arrogant jerk that plays lameass yugioh.” Yeah I could understand that, but I’m not completely saying everything is stupid; there are just somethings that cross the line.

I know a lot of people wear the picnic “muffler” scarves nowadays. All I’m going to say is that it’s summer in California, and if you’re wearing it, what the hell? Even in the winter, it’s never cold enough to make me go “My neck is particularly cold.” But in the summer? Now that’s silly.

Oh and wearing hats backwards or sideways or whatever. I don’t really have to explain this one.

And I know when you’re wearing sunglasses indoors/at night/anywhere where it’s not sunny you’re just like Tom Cruz in Top Gun right? Or the terminator? Or Kanye West with his shutter shades? But really, unless you’re Stevie Wonder (and there’s really little chance that Stevie Wonder can read my blog), don’t wear them indoors; it’s just stupid.

Bandanas and headbands to make you look cool like Paramore are lame.

There’s just a point where people can see that you’re trying way too hard. Who do you have to impress with these shutter shades and Jordans and gold chains and Paramore headbands and whatever you waste your time preparing yourself with.
