New Vocabulary

Perfect for describing the bandwagon-hopping types who've adopted the turban as their headcover of choice, a "turbanista" is anyone who would buy one and appear in public. The word first showed up on The Ugly Earring blog, but will likely come to wider use after appearing in the New York Times today: "Turbanista Mary-Kate Olsen...strangely wore one atop her long white tresses and ended up looking more like Axl Rose." Use it while you can, because this new phrase may not last very long -- it's only as long-lived as the trend that inspired it.
