I guess I’m just plain old fashioned and “out of the loop.”  I USED to be “hip” and “cool” and “with it.”  Apparently I’m not anymore!  I can remember when “fat” was not a good thing.  Now, apparently, “phat” (which SOUNDS like fat, so I don’t know which is which) IS a good thing.

My niece’s 21st birthday is coming up, and she has her finger on the pulse of fashion.  She has posted her “wish list” on her blog of what she wants for her 21st birthday presents.

Along with the “outrageous” requests (new car, new laptop, etc) she has put some more reasonable requests, such as new pierced earrings, new pj’s, new shoes, new handbag, etc.  She was even thoughtful enough to post the link to exactly what baby phat handbag she wants, to make sure she gets EXACTLY what she wants. She really likes the baby phat styles, says that they are the “hippest” trend going.

Wasn’t that thoughtful of her!?
