Onward into the Past

I wouldn't be opposed if every week at the Beauty Bar was like this past one. For the most part at least. The part where the show was packed, the after party was crazy, and a mysterious limo appears to pick people up. All those things are welcome every week.

While studying an old time looking mailbox the other day I began to wonder...at what point did it become cool to make things look older than they are? One of my favorite examples of unnecessary aesthetic aging has to be the fake shutters on houses. It's been a few years since shutters served a purpose on a structure, what with introduction of glass into frames. But to this very day many houses have the aluminum rectangles on either side of every window giving the appearance of shutters, shutters that if you closed would still leave about an average of six inches of uncovered window area in the middle. I'm not going to discuss jeans. I'm not some fucking relic. Gotta have that denim right, and no amount of aging is gonna make your ass look any better in those things. I'm now no longer interested in this topic, but lack the drive to even highlight and delete it. Thesis: It's weird how we (people of earth, specifically America) like certain stuff to look older than it is.
