Fortunately, flairs finally seem to be dying out. Thank God.

Jesus Christ, stop it--don't you realize that the 80s are next if the 70s revival dies? I swear that if lace-trimmed anklets with high heels come back in fashion I'm going to start beating the crap out of people on the street. In fact, I came perilously close this past weekend when I saw some 30something wearing purple jelly sandals right out of 6th grade--the only thing that saved her was that I didn't think it was polite to bitch-slap someone in front of her toddler.
