High fashion for the truly irritating…

April 25, 2007

I go through thousands of fashion photos, looking for just the right ones to use in this blog, so that you can be up on all the haute couture trends right here. No need to look anywhere else. Clothes designed for police decoys, pioneers, ventriloquists - you read about all of them here first.

So now, the fashion industry is aiming for a previously untapped market: the terminally obnoxious. I mean, it makes perfect sense! The obnoxious, the insufferable, the unbearable, they all have money, and if they have their own distinctive wardrobes, it helps the rest of us avoid them.

Oddly Enough Blog

Are they remaking Flashdance?

There should be a circuit that electrocutes the runway with the flip of a switch. Every time a model came out wearing something ridiculous or made some kind of moronic gesture (like homeboy up there), I’d just flip it. Man, that would be funny.

Curitiba Police theorize that young Diego didn’t understand the gang signs he was flashing on the night he was shot to death.

Excellent. Now turn your head and cough.

 

Diego celebrated by screaming “COWABUNGA, dudes!”; the surrounding generation, however, completely missed the reference.
