Yes, it's that time again when Beulah pretends she knows something about fashion.  Keep in mind that Beulah is still developing her style, after being relegated to the Old Navy and Eddie Bauer XXL for so many grueling years.  However, there are indeed some things that should not be done.  If you, dear reader, are wearing any of these things, STOP!

Let us begin with my favorite source of hate.  I usually take a walk through Marshall's in El Centro Lloyd, just to see what horrible things they have.  Here was one of them a few weeks ago (click it to enlarge for full Hallowe'en effect):

and, in case you forgot who brought you this hideousness:

then you can just look down and see HIS HOLY NAME emblazoned on your left breast.

Aside from that, I have been seeing a rise in incidence during these hard economic times of men bringing out their late-90s-era square-toed shoes.  Please, please, do not do this.  Back then, these shoes were a sure sign that you had 'the gay' especially if they had a pilgrim-like buckle on them. However, now they are just a no-no.  (This has reminded Beulah that she has a pair that need throwing out; however, they were not the clunky type.)  I saw two such men in a headhunter's office this morning.  If you are opposed to throwing them out, then by all means, costume time is upon us, so make use of them.  Get yourself a pair of culottes, a ruffled collar, some white stockings and a funky hat or powdered wig and go as your favorite 17th or 18th century character.

Oh, and in same headhunter office, I saw the other extreme.  A pair of shoes that came to a point that was at least a good three to four inches past the toe.
