It's So Simple When You Know





Well this one goes out to Shark. I haven't posted in awhile and I have an excuse. I am working 2 part time jobs and I work a lot so I really don't have much time. I got my wisdom teeth out this week so I am typing this with one had while the other hand is holding a heating pad to my face.

Todays post is gonna be a rant on a fashion accessory called the "keffiyeh" aka Shemagh. The keffiyeh is worn by Arab man to keep the sun off them and used when dust storms kick up to keep sand out of the eyes and mouth. British troops saw the Arabs wearing these and many militaries have been using them since before WWII. It has recently been seen as "cool" and now is being jumped on by every Hipster in the nation. WHY PEOPLE WHY? Rachel Ray got smoked for a Dunkin' Donuts add because some people few the Shemagh as a sign of Palestinian Solidarity. Like we have pictured here. Look at the cute emo kid wearing one! Oh and then we have that girl modeling her Shemagh with a Pink Floyd shirt. SHE HAS PROBABLY NEVER EVEN LISTNED TO THEM!!!!! Let the real troops model these bad boys. Like this dude right here! In closing, Hipsters need to die!

"while the other hand is holding a heating pad to my face."

Hahawwww.

I'd feel uncomfortable wearing one of those. And they don't even look appealing.

The emo kid should stop sulking and go fight in the war so he can THEN wear one, right?

I hate fashion trends. They are always taking practical clothing and turning them into something impractical. Sigh...
