The Sins of the Fathers.....

The sins of the fathers are vested on the children, or, in this case, the mothers. This takes my running category - Bad 1980s' Fashion Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome to a whole new Meta-level. Madonna, the originator of so much iconic 1980s fashion, who unleashed hundreds of ridiculously unflattering looks emulated by awkward teen-agers as best they could drawing from slim pickings at their local malls (as I can attest, it was quite challenging to emulate her "Like a Virgin" or "Desperately Seeking Susan" looks drawing solely on the Limited at the mall in a small town in SW FL in the 1980s), is now witnessing her own daughter's fashion shandeh. (note: to my horror, I have been spelling one of my favorite Yiddish words, shandeh, incorrectly!!!) Yes, no amount of Kabbalah water or Yogic meditation can negate little Lourdes' over-sized Elvis Costello Ray-Bans worn as seeing glasses (been there, done that), or the over-sized t-shirt, or the all-black attire, and of course the sullen expression and stringy hair. Although something a bit more asymmetrical or multi-hued might be better- it does seem to be veering, God help us, towards a Mullet?
