The High Cost of Fashion...


Now, from what I can gather by reading the description of this, it's a custom piece, and you can have one made specifically for your um, needs. Now, I'm certainly not impugning the skill it took to create...this, but the cost for this particular piece is $650.

Six hundred and fifty dollars.

 Six hundred? Fine, who would pass up that deal, but six fifty? Sir, you go too far! Oh well, if you have some insatiable need to have the Energizer bunny traveling through Mario world along with a disgruntled Gummi Bear and a pink...thing emblazoned on your chest, then I suppose no price is too high.

"Well, it won't keep you warm, and the neck hole will actually allow your whole body to slip through it, causing embarrassing, if highly comical moments, but I promise you, it's the height of fashion."
I have no idea what either of these cost, but I will assume "too much."

 Fashion is Stupid
That pretty much covers my thoughts, and by the looks of his face, his too.

You'll notice in that first photo that I've added a...uh, a "crotchular addition." You see, that particular pair of pants comes in 'anatomically correct,' and while that's all well and good, I don' t want to bother with any kind of mature ratings on the blog. Now, I suppose those pants would be alright if you were say, a Ken doll, but I don't think most guys want to go walking around with a fake set of dangly bits bopping around in front of them. What's the price for one of these gems? Your dignity.

Oh, and yeah, apparently all of that is manly high fashion. I know the one on the top right just makes my heart go all a twitter.

Anyway, if you must, click the link for the full Monty.

I like to call this one "December on Bourbon Street."  I suppose if it's a little too nipply, er, nippy outside you could still give the illusion of showing off the goods. You know, I'm thinking a specific pair of pants paired with this sweater could make for a really confusing outfit. Manoush says it can be yours for only £130. As far as the design? I will never believe this wasn't intentional. My only question is why they chose 'pancake on a nail' for placement?

...and that's all I got.

...except for this...which, I actually, really, really like.

Out Of Control Turtlenecks!

It's finally autumn. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and everyone's breaking out the cold weather gear. One staple of which is, the turtleneck. Now, a turtleneck is a versatile  piece of clothing; it can be dressed up or down as the occasion demands. Elegant or casual, you can't go wrong with a simple turtleneck.

Right?

 
  I said simple! Geeze...nobody listens to me.

"Hey fella, you got a little something on your ne... Oh, it's part of the sweater? Right, sorry. Hey...did you make it from one of those pot holder kits we used to play with when we were kids? No? Oh, it's designer? Dolce & Gabbana? Really? Do they have one of those pot holder kits?"


WHY? WHY, would you kill a harmless Domo for fashion? WHY? Shame on you Mason Martin Magiela!

why?
Where is PETA when you need them?

I feel like she's hiding something terrible under there.  Like, if I was to unbutton that cigarette-like tower covering her face, I'd see something terrifying, like this:

 God bless you Steve Buscemi...you and your horrible teeth.

Now, not every turtleneck tragedy comes from the turtleneck itself. No...sometimes it's more of a 'user error.'

Speaking of errors, here's this total douche "celebrity," Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino of Jersey Shore. Before he became a (sighs to self to have to use this term) star, he was just a normal guy, hanging out with the fam...taking some pictures. Mike, welcome to your awkward family photo...

CODE BLUE, CODE BLUE (and white and grey) we've got an overdose on ribbed turtlenecks here! Everyone stay calm! STAY CALM! We've got (say it with me!) THE SITUATION under control! (Well...maybe not. I think someone needs to invest in a Bro.) But yeah, wow. That's just...that's just a whole lot of turtleneck for one family. Remember Situation kids, you can have too much of a good thing...or well, too much of a thing.
