The story
- Not so long ago, my friend Kevin cleaned out his wardrobe, which, due to his pack rat nature, was crammed with clothes he hadn't worn in more than a decade. Among the discarded were 25 sweaters that can generously be described as "hideous." Or, as one critic put it, "Bill Cosby would not wear this." Kevin's defense? "I worked at Marshalls in North Olmsted, Ohio, during high school and got a 15 percent discount. It was cold. It was the late '80s." The horror, the horror. Click here to see them, but be warned. Your eyes. The burning.

Since CNN covers all the important events in the world, it was only a

blushing. See the clip here.

Poetry in motion
Aimee from Montreal
writes: "Attached is a picture of me in a vintage sweater from 1988
that I have yet to throw out from my wardrobe. I even wrote a poem
about it:
Pink and turquoise accoutrements
sheathe my bangled soul,
There is a sweater in my heart
I can never throw out."
Thanks Aimee! That's beautiful.
