can we all agree that flash mobs are over

~

Flash Mobs are ridiculous and seem pretty pointless to me. . . I don't know, I'm cynical and enjoy when my activities have a purpose. The Flash Mob phenomenon never really affected me and my life - until last weekend.

While in NYC over the weekend on a lovely stroll around the city we decided to walk to Union Square. Unbeknownst to me there was a [stupid ]Flash Mob pillow fight(FMPF) that encompassed the once tranquil square. The FMPF enveloped me and left my hair and lungs riddled with feathers and nasty old pillow particles.

Now, some who read this post may believe I'm being silly. But I must explain that these pillows were disgusting. I understand that you would not want destroy a brand new pillow for an impromptu FMPF, but these pillows were just unsanitary. People should have been embarrassed by the stains and filth on their pillows. If you don't believe me check out this Time Magazine article here.

can we all agree that the hipster 'stache is over

~

I don't live in a hip(ster) location so perhaps this is already over...yet one look at etsy (63 pages of handmade mustache items) tells me it's alive and well. I never got this trend to begin with, but I feel like we should all agree that it's over.

can we all agree that cupcakes are over

~

Please. If I never see or eat another cupcake or read about a bakery that only sells cupcakes (diversify people!), then I'd be delighted. 


What I can really sink my teeth into is the work of Wayne Thiebaud . His colorful, imaginative pop art is the kind of sweet treat I'd like to have. The best news of all? It hurts your wallet, not your thighs.
