pic nicked from here In a stunning scientific breakthrough, researchers have discovered a relationship between owning alcohol branded clothing and teenage drinking. There’s not yet any word about what owning a bandanna covered in pot leaves may indicate. But wearing a beer shirt does say something else about a young man. It says: “I have …

The fashion blogosphere is engaged in one of its periodic kerfuffles. Although nowhere near as good as the occasional outbreak of hostilities between Dandyism.net and Lord Whimsy, this recent call to arms is still vaguely interesting as it points to deeper issues. The New York Observer wrote an article about fashion bloggers uniting to gain …

The libertarians over at Reason Magazine have posted an interesting little documentary on Che fashions. It’s a bit partisan but so are those shirts. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0b_ezFDn5s] Che doesn’t represent rebellion. In Cuba, the government has his picture everywhere. How rebellious is that?

Yesterday, the Queen of Fashion Week, Her Unfortunate Majesty, Robin Kay, got all fucked up and delivered a rambling speech that ended in her being gently removed from the stage. Today, the city is all a-twitter with the scandal and …

All of these people are innocent until proven guilty. Their clothes are another story. DON’T WHO?: Jimmy Jorgge WHAT? Drugging and sexually assaulting his date. We should not judge Jimmy Jorgge’s crime too harshly. If you were named Jimmy Jorgge, you might sexually assault people too. But his name does not excuse that shirt. And, …

I detest the Green Movement. Human consumption has wreaked a good deal of havoc on this planet and on the humans who inhabit its surface. The Greens seem to think that we can meditate, shop and party our way out the mess. Well, we can’t. The party is over. It’s a big mess and a …
