FROM POPULAR TRENDS, DELIVER ME, OH LORD!

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY LEAST FAVORITE THINGS





I thought it was just ivy caps, nose rings, neck and face tattoos and earlobe stretchers, now it's "all body deodorant" commercials! 

Men, young and old, in "ivy caps" have always disgusted me for some reason. They remind me of old English men roaming the countryside with a hunting dog. I have no idea why I find that style of hat disgusting, but I do for some unknown reason, especially the plaid ones. To me, they just scream "sad old man!"   

Women and men with nose rings remind me of my childhood when we were forced to put copper "rings" in pigs' noses to keep them from rooting in the dirt and under fences to escape. 

Some tattoos are interesting to look at, especially if they are "quality" tattoos and discretely placed, but I do not understand why nice looking young people would tattoo their necks and faces with graffiti. Like all trends, what is "in" this year could be totally "out" next year. I can't imagine what these people will look like when they are in their 80s and 90s! Are they that starved for attention? Is it just another form of self-mutilation like "cutting?" Maybe they just haven't been around long enough to think about living that long? 

I have watched "Dr. Pimple Popper" (Dr. Sandra Lee), the TV dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon try to repair a stretched earlobe and remove keloids cause by old ear piercings - gross, painful and expensive! 

Now that LUME has invented "whole body deodorant" and put it on the market, everybody has started marketing their own brand of "whole body deodorant." This leaves me with a couple of serious questions. Isn't this just another one of those "trends?" What is so dangerous about spraying your old deodorant "everywhere?"
