Fashion Faux Pas
Common sense dictates that there are just some things you never wear in combination with other items. For example, one doesn’t wear polka dots with stripes or with plaid. It would be just plain wrong. Or you don’t wear socks with your sandals unless you’re old and devoid of any fashion sense. Or any other number of items. As said items will clash and make you look like you walked blindly into your nearby thrift shop and randomly picked an outfit out.
Or in the case of Rachael Ray, you can’t wear a keffiyeh (a scarf) otherwise you’ll earn the ire of right-wing bloggers who think they’re the new fashion police. According to this group, she had crossed the line with her choice in attire as the keffiyeh represents terrorism and extremism as the keffiyeh is typically worn in the Middle East. The problem was “symbolism”.
So our new fashion police are keeping is misinformation slovenly masses in check. Whatever would we do without their helpful advice about our clothing? Perhaps go on with our lives without worrying what Ray wore in an ad produced by Dunkin Donuts (sic – should be doughnut, but that’s asinine American “English” for you).
Apparently it’s not fashionable for these bloggers, like Michelle Malkin to exercise common sense and realise that there plenty worse than a simple scarf that is worn by a chef in an ad for doughnuts. They will continue to delude themselves into thinking that the keffiyeh and other “fashion statements may seem insignificant, but when they lead to the mainstreaming of violence – unintentionally or not – they matter“. Too bad they’re woefully out of touch with reality.
