"In or Out?": What fashions, makeup, or hair styles are completely out-of-style for Fall 2008?

Ok Fashion and Style, and Pop culture Gurus: What women and men's styles (hair, makeup, fashion, shoes, bags, etc.) and trends are completely out of fashion, what is retro and cool, what is timeless/classic, what is trendy for Fall 2008, and what do you forecast for Spring 2009? I'm going to start: IN : natural, healthy hair, individualized cuts OUT: Emo Hair, forced overstyled hair, too much heat IN: recycling, Hybrid Cars, reusable grocery bags, clean power OUT: Gas guzzlers, H2s (they were ugly anyway), Escalades IN: Obama (even if you don't plan to vote for him, he IS very popular with the news media) OUT: Bush (eh, soooo 2000) IN: the Bob (timeless, the roaring 20s anyone?) OUT: the mullet (not back yet - be patient...give it a few more years) IN: Hoverboards (I wish) OUT: being bored (you know you watch you tube all day at work...there's no excuse for boredom) IN :Youtube and Facebook OUT: Myspace IN: Getting a Life OUT: "WOW" (You know who you are. Come on, those graphics are terrible.) IN: Barbie (yeah we like Bratz, but come on, this babe is timeless) OUT: Beanie Babies (well, my dog still likes them to chew on) IN: Eating at home or going out for Hot Wings! OUT: Overpriced chain restaurants IN: Family owned coffee houses or making stuff at home OUT: Starbucks and $5 coffee (who has the money for that after buying gas) IN: Staycations (lol) OUT: Vacations? IN: Superhero Action Flicks (Batman, Indy, Transformers, etc. retro?) OUT: Natural Disaster Movies (Wanna rent Dante's Peak on VHS?) IN: Not watching those horrible reality talent shows OUT: American Idol IN: Thrift stores and Urban Outfitters OUT: bling, designer junk, and $350 jeans IN: Tote bags OUT: $1500 designer bags. (If you're going to spend that much, go buy a computer) IN: Getting out of debt OUT: Credit cards IN: Taking trains and carpooling OUT: Commuting really far IN: Classic Rock (classic), 80s music (retro), 90s music (retro) OUT: Emo (what IS it anyway?), and just about anything they play on the radio right now IN: Jeans that look good on your unique body. OUT: Acid wash jeans (no, not back yet), Skinny, skin-tight tapered jeans (These are my pet peeve. Sorry, they don't look good on anyone except the one genetically engineered and photo-shopped model in the advertisement. You can weigh 95 lbs and they will look bad. They look awful on guys, too.) IN: Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, RC Cola etc. OUT: Burple (you know you remember that), Tab, Squirt, Crystal Pepsi, Slice, New Coke...ok maybe those are retro...how about DECAF sodas...now those are definitely OUT Ok, that was fun...you get the point. Most creative wins!
