Today you’re in for a treat! Mr. Perry, my husband, presents…a guest post! Enjoy!
As a departure from the usual witty writing and unusual photos, I’m bringing you a guest post on a trend that is sweeping the nation*!
I’m not going to try to argue that Taiwanese are more into trends than Americans because that’s a lost cause (see “put a bird on it”, “crunking,” or any of the other trends that people have flocked (or danced) to, for no apparent reason).
There do, however, seem to be several differences in Taiwanese trending as compared to American trendsetters. For one, by the time most trends gain popularity in the US, a substantial portion of the public is already making fun of the trends and their followers (see Ugg boots circa 2001, Crocs circa 2005, cork platforms circa 2011, and designer rain boots circa 2013).
