Fugly Friday - Cover Edition

Today's fugly comes to you from no less than the cover of Knit.1 magazine.

Hat hair wasn't bad enough. Now we have full head-cover hair. Exactly what I need this winter.
Now look. I get the helmet liners if you perhaps, say, wear a helmet from time to time. Personally, it doesn't really come up much for me. But what is going on here? Not to mention that there's a version inside in silver that has weird ear circles. Judging from last week's fugly as well, I'm beginning to suspect there's an impending alien invasion and the designers just haven't informed us yet. Shouldn't we maybe add some tinfoil?
Although there are a few cute things in this issue, most of them are just pretty darn weird. And that's considering that this magazine is usually on the cusp of poor taste. It's worth browsing in the store for a laugh. But if this is what the "hip 18-35 year old knitter" is supposed to like, consider me tragically unhip.
