THE WORST ALBUM ART, EVER!

What the Hell? Hey, it's Satan from South Park!
Dr. Funkenstein, indeed! Is this the Cinnamon Girl , Neil? Looks like ya snorted too many lines, pal.
Looks like my 8-year old daughter painted this. She can do better, actually. The artist was Bob Dylan.
Wrong on so many levels...
I just really don't get it. Doesn't fit the Beatles' image, not even when they were experimenting with drugs.
This gets my WTF award.
These are my Top 7 favorites from the Worst of the Worst, in descending order from the top of how truly bad they are!

A CONVERSATION ABOUT JEANS


























There is a buzz about high-waisted, straight-legged, light blue jeans, a/k/a "Mom Jeans", possibly coming back because fashion icon Kate Moss has been spotted wearing them, Jessica Simpson's image wearing them was splashed all over the Internet, and even Barack Obama was photographed wearing them (the male version, of course). With the exception of Kate, most everyone who wears mom jeans is ridiculed. There is a reason, though. They look out of date and are unflattering to most women. As for me, NO WAY would I ever wear those jeans again! I really don't want to feel & look like Erkel in Family Matters. The worry I have is that when a style is "in", it is very hard to find an alternative. Consider the latest trend in jeans--low waisted, and super low waisted--all worn TIGHT. Since these jeans are ubiquitous in American fashion today, some of the biggest fashion crimes are committed when wearing them: muffin tops, cameltoe, plumber's crack, thongs showing--you get the picture. If you don't know what the previous terms mean, look 'em up in the Urban Dictionary. I love to observe people and when I look around, the biggest female jean fashion mistakes I see are committed when 1) Older women want to look "hip" and younger; 2) young girls and young women wear everything that's "in" without taking into consideration their body shape and size. I don't care if older women want to look fashionable and young girls/women want to stay trendy, but PLEEASE! Look in the mirror before buying; and for God's sake, no one, I mean NO ONE wants to see your pelvic lines, thong or other unatractive things spilling out of your low low waisted jeans!
