Dude, Where's My Glove?

More than a year ago, Paris Hilton gave the fashion world something to snicker about while bouncing from party to party wearing nothing more than "finger covers" [among other things]. And, much to the chagrin of many, what appeared to be a scissor-crazed wardrobe malfunction at the time has finally poked it's stinky little pinky into a few fashionable places.

I can see why a professional pool player would opt for a pair of 3-finger pool gloves to keep his/her hand steady [okay, that's a lie] but I am truly stumped by the "partial glove" trend in which only the fingers are covered or one or more fingers are exposed. To me, they give off a "mime had a baby with Michael Jackson" vibe, but the jury is still out on whether or not the trend will catch on. (Now, give me a pair with only the middle finger exposed and I'll wear them to my grave!)
