The Washington Post fashion writer - known for her ability to plumb the depths of the shallowest subject - recently had a little rant against flip-flops (mostly on women). Also ... sweat rags? guys wearing pieces of gray-ish cloth on their heads?
ah, Robin Givhan.
Do rags?
no, not do-rags, the phenomenon of wearing a small towel on the head after a workout, which became a fashion statement. Givhan made a comment when describing a guy "wearing a sweat rag on his head, although clearly his last workout was supersizing his extra value meal"
Gawds of all pantheons forgive us! They have started now on
rags,
and we are without hope!
Now, are you wearing the rag, or is it only placed on top of your head? Like, a hankie? I am *so* glad I've never seen these, because I think I'd have to laugh.
Do rags do not serve sufficient a purpose to be worn in public.
As I said - her complaint was that they were totally unnecessary and, usually, in need of a wash. Worn in public, in inappropriate situations. And, yes, laid over the top of the head.
And - to drive Gus completely batty - something The Manolo likes. Silly.

I'm thinking they do if you're a cinderwench.
Oh Gus, I don't think I'll be buying a car this year, but I'll keep yours in mind if I change my mind...
Those are definite shoes of whimsy.
So these sweat rags...they don't fall off? I guess you only apply them (if you're not a poseur) after the exercise?
I think I preferred towels and rags in the back pocket.

Those are something my crazy russian neighbor would wear. She's very....odd. Probably mid-fifties, long salt &pepper hair. She tends to hang out behind her apartment in not-quite-appropriate outfits, a common one being a short-short silky robe and fuzzy high heeled mules. Or those clear plastic high heeled mules. And she's always going on and on and on in Russian. For a while, I figured she must be talking on the phone. Nope. She's just ranting in russian to the air. She can be a little unnerving, especially when she starts to wander or glares at you.
FOR THE LAST TIME, I DON'T MAKE POLICY, **** DOES. Ahrg.
ita, I don't think I've seen them. I guess originally they were laid over the head and stuck with sweat and the person not moving much, since they'd done their exercise. And, if you're a poseur and don't move much to start with, I guess you rely on inertia.
