Harem Pants: why aren't you gone yet and didn't we learn anything from Mr. Hammer?

Smashonistas, I fear we are entering an era of fashion, a slippery slope if you will, where we are going to look back and say "what was I thinking."  I am such a slave to fashion that sometimes I don't see this coming.  Remember the mid to late 90s when everyone was wearing those terrible black sandals a la "Rachel Green" that looked like someone had thrown a glob of rubber on your feet.  Remember? And curiously enough we couldn't get enough of them. Or what about those horrible Holly Hobby dresses from the 80s that my much OLDER sisters used to fight over but now claim they never wore.  I am not going to lie, I love the 80s and 90s influences I have observed of late but I draw the line at MC Hammer pants.  Didn't we learn anything from Mr. Hammer?  I know people claim that supporting his 40 something member entourage's outrageously lavish day-to-day lifestyle is what forced Mr. Hammer to start living out of his car but no my Smashonistas, I say it was the pants.  Sadly, Mr. Hammer assuming filing bankruptcy was a reality check, the entourage may be gone but your pants will forever haunt you. Seriously, what's next Birkenstocks and overalls? Of course no real Smashonista would ever be caught in Birkenstocks that's the equivalent of Uggs, modern day fashion suicide.  Look I know these harem pants have been circulating around the fashion world again, for the last couple of years "08" to be exact.... but I thought they would be LONG GONE by now.  Alas no.  And apparently some genius had the great idea of throwing in a print.  Yikes.  Wonder if the Olsen twins had anything to do with this?
