Top 10 of 2007

I was going to do a top 10 songs or albums list for 2007, and all I got was Arcade Fire's "Neon Bible" and that girlfriend song by Avril Lavigne.

(Yeah, I don't care if she ripped it off someone, I still like it.) Being the lazy sod that I am, instead of researching the names of other songs or albums that I like, I decided to make a list of top 10 movies from 2007. I came up with "Juno" (excellent on every level - funny, touching, witty - you should go see it), "Superbad", "The Simpson's Movie", "The Bourne Supremacy", and then I realized that I didn't see any other movies in 2007. (At least none that I can remember.)

So, I am doing a list that truly means something to me. Something that I am passionate about and dedicate a lot of time researching and reading about. Books, you might be thinking. Or poems? TV shows? (Yeah, wiseass, tv means a lot to me, but that's not the list I'm talking about.) No, my top 10 of 2007 list is about fashion trends. And not only will I do a "best of " list, but I will also do a list of trends that I hated and hope never to see again.

Without further ado...

Top 10 best fashion trends of 2007
1. Wide leg pants (Need I say more? Ok, I will. So flattering, so comfortable.)
2. Matte make-up (bye-bye greasy, I mean "dewy" skin)
3. ballet flats
4. longer tops (hooray - my ass crack is covered)
5. higher waist jeans (no muffin top!)
6. clutches (I retract the mean statements that I said previously about clutches - if I pare down a bit, I can cram all my crap into a medium sized clutch)
7. bangles (not the band, the bracelet)
8. 3/4 length coats (did they ever really go out of style?)
9. long gloves (although I haven't been able to find any that I like enough to buy yet)

10. the return of boot cut jeans

Top 10 Worst Fashion Trends of 2007
1. Skinny jeans
2. CROCS (ugh, I shudder just thinking about them)
3. Empire waists
4. trendy 80s sh*t - or - all of the clothes on Urban outfitters' site
5. Wide belts (and really any belts at all. I hate belts.)

6. fauxhawks
7. winged eyeliner (you too can look like a crackwhore with a name that rhymes with Swineflouse)
8. extensions (do I need to mention who this is aimed at?)
9. Chanel ankle alcohol moniters (Oh, Karl, really - that's so passe)
10. ridiculously large purses (If your Weimeraner can fit inside it, it's too damn big)

So there you have it. Do you agree, disagree? Did you see more than four movies in 2007? Good for you. And Happy New Year.
