The Return of the 1980’s

I have never been much of a fashion maven. I don't keep up with the latest changes in style. Truthfully, I hardly even notice them.

That said, it's hard to remain oblivious to the rampant return of the 1980's that current bathes the streets of Los Angeles. Neon. Fanny packs. Mom jeans. Even the immutable scrunchie.

Patented in 1987, the scrunchie was, in part, inspired by drawstring pajama pants. And if you're looking for some trivia for your next cocktail party, how about this factoid. The original scrunchie prototype, and the sewing machine it was created on, can be found in the Smithsonian. Crazy, right?

While plenty of A-listers have found their way back to this once verboten hair accessory, I don't see any scrunchies in my future. A characteristic I share with famed chef Gordon Ramsey perhaps?
