The Next It Thing.

I have a confession. When it happens, (and oh please let it be happening,) I will not not not be sad to see Zombies go. Oh sure, I admire them as a trend, and have to respect their ability to evoke both future grinding inevitable apocolypse and that by-gone analog scary era of way back, like, at the same time. But sometimes one just must LET GO .

What could possibly replace them? Hmmm. Let's see. Something with that Hello Kittyesque universality.....something that can be used as a halloween costume....

Cactus? Martians? Pippy Longstocking! no...



Lederhosen!? Don't you find lederhosen sort of frightening and dead sexy at the same time? I do. Maybe that is it: Lederhosen or anything or anyone donning lederhosen, past, present or future. Especially if that anything or anyone is singing.

Oh! Cringing and appealing, cringing and appealing. Can-not-Turn-A-way!!
