Black and Blue

I recently found out something very interesting.

But first, a little intro. I'm one of those believers in looking sane and being comfortable in what you wear. I know it's crazy but our kind still believes that your clothes should suit you and be chosen to go with your particular body type and appearance rather than something a random self-styled fashion expert insists every girl just has to have but which ends up making you look like a constipated gorilla. In other words, I'm not really very hip. And one of the perks of being completely out of the hip and fashionable circuit is getting to feel good about your wardrobe on a regular basis instead of rushing out to shop every two hours to conform to the changing fashion scene. Also, it's a blessing for the wallet.

Anyway, the "interesting" thing was this: Black and blue are the new 'in' thing.....Now the first sane reaction to this would be: Really? In this heat? But apparently, everyone's wearing them. So that got me thinking. If that's really the case, then some rather unconventional people have found themselves as fashion icons. These are:

Fashionista No.1: Edward Scissorhands

If you've seen the film, Edward not only sported black clothing almost throughout the movie, he even had a hairdo to give any model a run for her money.
