ZiaHates

I'm not sure hate is a strong enough word. Loathe, is probably correct. Today's rant, is brought to you but the letter S - for Scrunchie.
I quite simply cannot understand the appeal of the things... a bunched up bit of material (usually the nasty cheap scratchy variety) obscuring what might have been a classic sleek ponytail. They are unspeakably cheap in appearance and might ruin a good outfit, if I had ever seen a scrunchie accompanying a decent outfit, which I have not. The scrunchie is normally an unattractive addition to the 'Croydon Facelift' - the overtight high ponytail favoured by Chavs wearing white tracksuits and fifty creole earrings in each ear.
They bring to mind all the true horrors of the 80's - although a lot of these horrors are enjoying a revival at the moment... the peplum skirt, the boyfriend jacket with rolled up sleeves. I can't be convinced that these items are a good idea, not too long ago we were killing ourselves laughing that we wore them the first time around, why the sudden change of heart? And more worryingly I've heard from several sources the perm is on it's way back. If so I shall simply have to hide under the duvet until it's all over, I'm certainly not taking my style influence from 'Saved by The Bell.' Not again, anyway.
