Just say No!

Never would I see one of those again, I swore to myself...Unless it was during a US gymnastics competition or an 80s party, I thought. But, I must have overestimated the fashion IQ of the average Mentor citizen. Mentor did have one of the more popular U.S. President of all time (James A. Garfield) and the most fashion forward mall (The Great Lakes Mall), and was one of the top one hundred U.S Cities. But, one citizen here had a fashion faux paux. I mean catastrophe--It was a moment I felt actual embarrassment, and wanted to reach out and grab it! Throw it out, I thought. No that's not good enough, time warp in a phone-booth, bill and ted style, and send it back to the 80's. What could it be you wonder? Doing a double take; I look again and want to ask this young lady if she knows what decade it is? I acknowledge her pretty ballerina bun, but shake my head at what's holding it together. None other than the dreaded scrunchy. This twenty-something adult woman in 2012 is wearing a scrunchy?!?. I guess she had missed the episode of Sex in the City, where Carrie Bradshaw discussed her abhorrence of scrunchies ten years ago? Yup I said it--ten years ago. I should cut her some slack she could be Amish, or never read a fashion magazine a day in her life?!? Whatever the case is I urge the public to reach out to their family/friends and to "just say no to the scrunchy."
