Pancho Villa
You might have noticed the trend in women's fashions that includes a lovely throwback from the '70s: the poncho. At first I was not a big fan of the poncho because, seriously, this poncho is fugly and don't even get me started on this one. But I was shopping last week and decided to give ponchos a chance. Turns out ponchos are a fat chick's dream come true. They cover things nicely. I bought three of them.
Still, I wasn't sure this was a fashion trend that I wanted to buy into. The ponchos hung in the closet, begging not to be returned to the store. Until today. I finally caved and am right now wearing a black knit poncho with fringe. It is similar to this one, but not as fringey. The other two ponchos look like fancy silk scarves (sort of like these, but nicer) and they are going back to the store, but I may buy another knit poncho. I can't help it. I like the poncho. It is warm and comfortable without being frumpy.

Ponchos may be a fat chick's dream, BUT according to my latest Glamour Mag (or maybe the one before the latest), they are not big titted chick's dream. Thus I must eschew the poncho trend. In hmm... maybe middle school or jr high (which would be middle school DUH) maybe elementary school, my mother knit both me and my sister a poncho. I remember wearing it all the damn time because, yes, they are toasty warm.
