You Are Currently Watching: Know Your Trend
Posted In: All Videos, Social CommentaryComments: 95 Responses
If you know anything about me, you know that I absolutely hate stupid fashion trends. Not, like, low-rise jeans or other new cuts of clothes, but, like, trucker hats. Gaucho pants. Remember how everyone in the world had to have a poncho a couple of falls ago? WTF? That was just dumb.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have jeggings. UGH. So dumb.
To illustrate how silly some current trends will seem in the future, I decided to go way, way back in time to talk about a bizarre fashion trend: black patches. These were around in the 1600 and 1700s in Europe. People glued patches of black fabric on their faces, mainly to cover awful smallpox scars. Having been a zitty teen, I can appreciate wanting to cover nasty scarring. But – gluing crap to my face? Now that’s just silly.
Much like jeggings are. And if you don’t realize that now, you will in a decade or so.
The key is to be able to decifer what trends will look stupid in a few years, and what new innovations in fashion are actually, well, innovations that will stand the test of time.
This is not a talent that hipsters have. So, like we did with smallpox, we must find a cure for the heinous hipster disease. Soon, please!

February 26th, 2010 at 10:21 am
[..YouTube..] What the hell is all over your face? You really should get that checked out Lori!
February 26th, 2010 at 10:28 am
[..YouTube..] Hahaha! You’re truly awesome.But I do like SOME jeggings, some just look fugly and some are amazing.
February 26th, 2010 at 10:38 am

February 26th, 2010 at 10:49 am
[..YouTube..] This could be a nice trend. Btw nice hart and star.. did you do that all by yourself? What’s that round thing.. ?
February 26th, 2010 at 11:05 am
[..YouTube..] Ha! So glad I could…um…help you shoot milk out of your nose today!
February 26th, 2010 at 11:10 am
[..YouTube..] I say all power to em! Makes ‘em easier to avoid. hahahah
February 26th, 2010 at 11:18 am
[..YouTube..] ^____^
February 26th, 2010 at 11:23 am
[..YouTube..] All I know is if you wear silly crap on your face, and wear jeggings, you WILL be eaten alive during the first few moments of the zombie apocalypse.
February 26th, 2010 at 11:45 am
[..YouTube..] Interesting, but what’s a jegging?
February 26th, 2010 at 11:46 am
[..YouTube..] and then back to barbarians.
February 26th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
[..YouTube..] the star on your head looks like patrick from spongebob, or at least a shadow of him.
February 26th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
[..YouTube..] LOL … The Resident now in ParisHilton Vision == The instant IQ half cutter …. Good one
February 26th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
[..YouTube..] Click on the resident homepage link in the sidebar for the all new black background of the resident homepage! Talk about conceptional continuity! Outstanding! Join the resident forum and extoll the virtues of dying your pets black, or whatever else is on your mind!*please don’t dye your pets black.The colour black should be given a national holiday, along with all the many, many other colours.
February 26th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
[..YouTube..] Such a dumb bitch like always…
February 26th, 2010 at 12:19 pm
[..YouTube..] OMG!!! LIKE OH MY GOD! I LOVE IT!!! I’m so going to bring this trend back. I’ll start by putting a patch on my third nipple!!! YAY! thanks Lori!
February 26th, 2010 at 12:27 pm
[..YouTube..] omg you’re so annoying lol could you stop talking so deliberately?
February 26th, 2010 at 12:39 pm
[..YouTube..] hahaha this was interesting! I like this know your tred idea! lol and you were really funny in it! You really should become a news reporter!
February 26th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
[..YouTube..] You look so hot with those black patches. How about that lip pucker trend on the internet pics? I´m so freacking sick of that. Sheeple.
February 26th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
[..YouTube..] Hi. I am a big fan of you and follow your interesting articles. I think you are not only smart but funny so you’re like my dream girl. Anyways, I couldn’t help but notice you seem really angry over this theme. What happened? Was your boyfriend looking at some girl with jeggings ass or something? Do you have a boyfriend by the way? I think I speak for all the single guys when I ask.
February 26th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
[..YouTube..] Hello,Lori.If you are into describing face accessories, could you give us the history of the Sharpie / magic marker face thesaurus? You know,where a drunken,unconscious participant, gets their face written on,like a high school crib sheet…
February 26th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
[..YouTube..] I hope there is an next time of Know your Trend, cause that was very cool! : )
February 26th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
[..YouTube..] Know your trend, wtf no 17.WTF (my video) it just makes you want to grab her and say “give your head a shake honey, what the heck were you thinking of?”Was that that like a “valley girl” accent? like omg!
February 26th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
[..YouTube..] Thanks man!
February 26th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
[..YouTube..] leggings and jeggings are amazing! there like skinny jeans but more confortable. and ive been wearing skinny jeans for the past 5 years.. as well as pretty much 90% of the people i know… so, i don’t think it will be going out any time soon!
February 26th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
[..YouTube..] if i see a hipster walking around with these on their face i will know that lori has officially “bucked the mainstream media” ;P
February 26th, 2010 at 4:05 pm
[..YouTube..] Is it true that the vaccine for smallpox came in 1796? Seems a bit unlikely to me.
February 26th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
[..YouTube..] have you run out of ideas??
February 26th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
[..YouTube..] Yes. It is true. Jenner was the one who came up with the idea. And search engines were invented in 1990. But that might seem unlikely, too. ;P
February 26th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Ahahaha! I commented in the forum about the swanky new black front page before watching the video, which itself turns out to be on the theme of swanky blackness! Nice use of conceptional continuity!
Okay, I’m off to paint my room black so that other youtube shows looks even better! I’m afraid resident shows can’t be any better than the better best they already are.
Who am I kidding! A+ for additional blacknesses!
February 26th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
[..YouTube..] That was one of the most annoying accents I have ever heard.
February 26th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
I am so glad you’re so glad, Once!
February 26th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
[..YouTube..] Hhmm? Girls…Ogh!
February 26th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
[..YouTube..] Reminds me of a ten year old standing in front of a mirror ,drawing on her face with a black marker.
February 26th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
[..YouTube..] Your patches are hot
February 26th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
[..YouTube..] Ha, thanks! I think it’s spelled HAWT though.
February 26th, 2010 at 6:05 pm
[..YouTube..] hahaha, thank you!
February 26th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
[..YouTube..] “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”Oscar Wilde
February 26th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
[..YouTube..] Nope, sounds true to me. Google it…
February 26th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
[..YouTube..] I think the patches should be accessorized with a black bikini.
February 26th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
[..YouTube..] These videos.. Ugh. Totally unreal. Why do you waste your time making videos about something so trivial as your vendetta against fashion? You, madame, are a follower of the lowest bourgeois philosophy.
February 26th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
[..YouTube..] Marry with me. I’m not rich, but I love the black color and younger Harry Potter.
February 26th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
[..YouTube..] @theresident Damn it you are taken I guess.
February 26th, 2010 at 10:34 pm
YES!!!!
Very awesome Lori!
Making fun of that nonsense and giving people a dose of history–my kind of video!!!
Keep it up!
February 27th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
[..YouTube..] oh, I meant on your site itself, your profile page. And, for the record, I think you are hot!!!!!! But, we moose, have a soft spot for dark hair women. but, I am ashamed to say in the fall when I am rutting, I bang my head in the forest charging squirrels while looking for a mate. It just happens and not proud of it. I wish I could be just horney like other humans and go to a bar and drink and tip the waitress thinking that will make her like me.
February 27th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
[..YouTube..] But, for now, I will just move about the forest and appreciate a beautiful woman as yourself. Have a nice weekend!! Oops, don’t step there. I left that. Sorry
February 27th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
[..YouTube..] hawt
February 27th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
[..YouTube..] I had to look up jeggins to see what they were. I guess Delaware is a wee bit behind in the fashion scene. We do have cows, though! And chickens. Lots and lots of chickens.
February 27th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
[..YouTube..] @MrCaltec After so many generations, is anyone really original anymore?
February 27th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
[..YouTube..] Hahaha
February 27th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
[..YouTube..] Wow, this is definitely something I’d never heard of before. It’s kind of surprising to hear that people back during the time of Shakespeare did stuff like that.
February 27th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
[..YouTube..] I am sure you have been told this in the past. You are very pretty and well presented but you don’t quite have the intelligence to pull off the irony in your posts. I think you should stick to your strengths – there is still a market for those vox pops you do among the rank and file.
February 27th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
[..YouTube..] love it! great job!
February 27th, 2010 at 5:25 pm
[..YouTube..] @CommentorX Yes, I think its extremely rare. It still happens but is ever increasingly difficult to spot because of the quag of modern day information availability.
February 27th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
[..YouTube..] jeggins?well, that was some stimulating yet useless information. loved it.
February 27th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
[..YouTube..] if you see a hipster, take a crap in their hat
February 27th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
[..YouTube..] i know, right?
February 28th, 2010 at 12:08 am
[..YouTube..] i completely see your point about trends, but whether we want to accept it or not, they have an influence on people who don’t even agree with them. it’s almost inevitable.
February 28th, 2010 at 3:28 am
[..YouTube..] I think this cause me to blow an intensive load.
February 28th, 2010 at 5:48 am
[..YouTube..] Trends are temperamental? Say it isn’t so! I spoke that in a sarcastic tone, a thing difficult on texts.
February 28th, 2010 at 6:38 am
[..YouTube..] Awesome! Informative, hillarious, and such a commentary on the corporate machine pumping out trendy uniforms, etc. Well done indeed!
February 28th, 2010 at 6:46 am
[..YouTube..] hard to know what the point of your channel is.
February 28th, 2010 at 10:35 am
[..YouTube..] hahahaha, yeah – much easier to convey annoying sarcasm in video.
February 28th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
[..YouTube..] Hey how come i never got a reply?! darn it, hah…some people have all the luck,anyways nice informative VID,keept it up sexy mam!
February 28th, 2010 at 2:31 pm

February 28th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
[..YouTube..] Satire, I assume.
February 28th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
[..YouTube..] Have never heard such nonsense in my life….I love it!
February 28th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
[..YouTube..] haahaaa

March 1st, 2010 at 2:09 pm
[..YouTube..] I’ve learned so much today!
March 1st, 2010 at 3:30 pm
[..YouTube..] your sarcasm is massively inconsistent.really hit or miss with you. this one was really lame.
March 1st, 2010 at 8:55 pm
[..YouTube..] you should do one for ppl wearing their pants around their knees XD
March 1st, 2010 at 11:00 pm
[..YouTube..] What would it be like to be entirely independent from one’s culture?No cool cultural references to make yourself seem sexy in conversation? No problem. (Get a dog!)
March 2nd, 2010 at 6:49 am
[..YouTube..] resident, u r getting old do something…..or marry someone and enjoy family….
March 2nd, 2010 at 8:40 am

March 3rd, 2010 at 4:32 pm
[..YouTube..] Stop it Laurie.Just stop it.
March 3rd, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Gotta love the YouTubers.
March 5th, 2010 at 8:25 am
[..YouTube..] @KiRILL943 Well I think it was funny & very interestingly informative. I don’t think Russian humour is particulaly well-known!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:39 am
[..YouTube..] @flumoxed38 You are too stupid Australians are the same as Americans.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:41 am
[..YouTube..] hahahah)))) In this woman instead of brain hamburger))) You are all Americans fucker.
March 6th, 2010 at 3:04 pm

[..YouTube..] Those were lesions from the plague
April 22nd, 2010 at 10:08 am
[..YouTube..] @SeansUncleRex Disagree here. First time watching theresident – have looked at three videos now and found them all to be interesting with the quirky information presented in an easy to understand and memorable fashion. It takes smarts to condense material such as this into something that we can all digest effortlessly… Anyway good work to the resident.
May 12th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
[..YouTube..] I guess anyone who survives smallpox, should be able to wear whatever they want on their faces.
June 8th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
[..YouTube..] Lol that was very informative…
July 4th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
[..YouTube..] can you start a trend where idiots stay off youtube…
