And I say, it's all right.... wait, no, no it's not.

It's summer in the 'Burgh! Well, kinda. For the first time in a long time, the frigid temperatures have broken and the sun is starting to shine through the steel curtain of clouds that ominously hang over the city from September to May. Maybe the poor little critter they yanked out of his home on February 2nd was right and it will be an early spring. It truly is a beautiful day, birds are singing, the skies are a blue-grey instead of just grey, The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun" is echoing in my head. Little Darlin', it's been a long, cold, lonely winter, indeed. Maybe a little too long. So long that there may be some of us who have forgotten how to dress in a more temperate climate.

The first person I would liken to an ostrich. Perhaps it's because I've been brain washed by the Sy Fy original series "Face Off" (cheer on Megan, the Burgher!) But the girl that walked through MCN looked more like an ostrich-human hybrid than anything they could do on the show. She strutted through the store donning a black ruffled, poofy skirt, black tights, gold shoes and giant, bug-eyed sunglasses.

The next was a dead ringer for Brittney Spears... when Brit was attacking cars with umbrellas. This girl unfortunately didn't have her head shaved to complete the look, but did have a wife beater that was too short, a skirt that was too short and then a flannel shirt tied around her exposed midriff. I guess it was a lumberjack school girl look?

The ever-popular Ugg boots and shorts are back. Again. When are those stupid boots going to go away? They look like they were designed by a child who couldn't draw shoes. And if it's warm enough to be wearing shorts, you don't need boots.
