can't touch this!

You know who's fault it is that McCall's is bringing these pants back, don't you?


I mean, I wouldn't exactly call MC Hammer a fashion icon. So I'm blaming McDreamy, that's who.

If he hadn't gotten all famous on that tv show, his first hit movie, Can't Buy Me Love wouldn't be rerunning itself into the ground on cable.


And if you were a child of the 80s like me, you worshipped Cindy Mancini. She had more wardrobe changes than a Cher performance. And I wanted them all. MC Hammer pants included.

It didn't matter that it looked like you were wearing a soggy diaper and had really limited range of motion.


Cindy Mancini was the fashion icon of 1987 (at least in my school.) And what Cindy wore, we wore. God bless us.

Good thing there's that whole "if you wore the trend once you can't wear it again" rule huh. Or I might be tempted to try this one again.

(gotcha! bwahahaha!!!)
