Keepin' Up With Fashion


What's hot in fashion this week? The new hot look is wrapping a blanket around you while shopping at the Wal Mart. If you want to get real edgy, try a blanket with jammy bottoms and slippers. For real, I saw this at the store. It works better if you're shopping at the Wal Mart late at night. It's retro, like the Shoney's Buffet Mega-Mullet. You laugh, but these people are cutting edge, man.

I felt especially out of place at the Urban Outfitters store the other day. I wore regular guy pants that breathe a little, leaving ample room for my stuff. I also had my over-sized jacket and and my Target shoes. I realize that I wasn't fit to make an appearance, but getting out and seeing the outsourced fashions of young 20-something prefab hipsters is always good, especially since I'm in the fashion industry (souvenir apparel - it's a stretch).

My theory is that Jack Skellington is responsible for these new bird-leg boy jeans that are so popular. With no room for the nuts, they are the new form of birth control/population control. In the old days, the hair-metal ladies would spray or soak the jeans to make them more flexible before squeezing into them. Nowadays, the hipster bearded blokes just have stick legs that fit right in (some might still have to spray - who knows). They might not be able to walk with bended knees like Jack Skellington, but that doesn't stop them getting from point A to B in their stilt leg pants. So, Jack Skellington is the new Sid Vicious. All the kids look to him with their eating disorders and their misfit angst and their skinny legs and giant heads. That's what I say.

Why in their nut bowls of course!
