An Observation on the Mutation of Style
I feel perturbed now.
I've been watching television, because it's Monday and my husband is off learning about accounting, and I just saw a commercial for Care Bears. The commercial was utterly devoid of irony. This means that I saw Care Bears invented, become uncool, be resurrected by indy-punk-post-ironic Gen-X types, become noticed by Hot Topic and spread throughout every mall in America, and eventually become mainstream enough again to be marketed as a straight-ahead toy for kids without any self-parody whatsoever.
Fashion, you are a fickle thing.

...and no, I will not be taking my toddler to see it, even though this was the first I heard about it. The Care Bears game inflicts quite enough horror on me as is, thank you. And Robert is still scarred from Dora The Explorer's Fairy Tale Adventure.
Just in case you cared.
