Er... no, I don't know what. What's opening on Flatbush?

american apparel where the movie theater used to be..

I see my q has already been answered. Also, Ewwwww.

I know that most guys have no problem looking at young, nubile, barely dressed Asian things but that fetish is out of control. AA, its ad campaign and its disgusting owner all give me the heebies.

I too pegged my jeans, sometimes with a safety pin. it was what us skater kids did, partly to keep your jeans from snagging your board when you did tricks.
I recon the kids doing it these days weren't there to do it the first time like soooo many of these lame return to the 80s things, don't they know that the 60s & 70s were way cooler?

Ever read Eugendes' Middlesex?

Already spotted, sadly enough.

Ever read Eugendes' Middlesex?

Three years ago. Were there scantily clad Asian tweeners in that book? I don't remember.

Seriously, I thought that book was lovely. But there is nothing lovely about the upchuck-inducing Dov Charney (http://www.inc.com/magazine/20050901/american-apparel.html).

Did Champion sweatshirts ever leave? I wear one on occasion and I'd hate to think it's the equivalent of Members Only...

I think if you own one in every color and wear them everyday, you might be in trouble. In high school the "normal" colors got so tired so we started cutting and tie dying them. The best is when my father bought me a brand new one and I cut it. He thought I was insane.

No, it's just a standard grey. Had it forever, and whatever else you want to say about Champion stuff, it lasts. I also have a bunch of my (non-game) rugby shirts hanging around. I don't wear them, but I figure if I hang on to them they'll come back in style.

And since we're on the topic of hipster clothing, here's a fun fact: The owner of Urban Outfitters is a big Rick Santorum supporter. I personally like my homosexuality with a side of man-on-horse action and will be forced to do all my shopping at H&M from now on.

why does that not surprise me. owner of company that sells 4.20 t-shirts supports crazy conservative senator. it makes so much sense.

there's a special place in hell for santorum.

the part that makes me super mad about this is not urban outfitters - it's anthropologie! how can that asshat own a store I'd willingly sign my paycheck over to?

and this, folks, is why I'm going to attempt to sew my own avant garde dress. even if I look stupid, at least I didn't give money to stupid.

anthropologie too?!

no sewing for me. my mother's frequent trips to jo-ann's when I was a child ruined fabric stores for me. I can barely set foot into one without convulsing.

Are you guys really planning on boycotting Anthropologie/Urbn? I'm just curious.

The ownership was news to me, and I'm a politics reporter. Honestly, I think the most damage you guys could do is to spread the word -- if it's a question of your integrity, by all means boycott, but if you want the guy to feel it then bad PR is the way to go.

Also, I simply will not believe the pegged jeans trend is back until I see it with mine own eyes. It's just too ugly. Why???

personally, I'm waiting for the Jerri Blank tight-azz button/flipped-down jeans to come back in style...or whatever they're called....they'd make my thighs look hot!

Next: Kriss Kross-style backwards pants.

Agreed - I want photographic evidence, dammit! We should start a PH version of Blue States Lose.
