Vice’s “DOs & DON’Ts,” revised by someone who is not high or cool

via Vice [original]

Sorry, sorta annoyed by Vice‘s “Do and Don’t” series, in which urban fashion is qualified under so many layers of kitsch and irony that the DOs often seem provocative for its own sake, and somewhat unbelievable. I try to appreciate this, as some social commentary, far more than the Dos and Don’ts of corporate fashion glossies like Us and People, yet it feels like Vice here is the emperor chasing our image with mirrors, telling us of special fabrics only they can see, until we too see it. Be careful: punk sounds a lot like drunk, and only one can be dissent. Dear people, there’s always a sale at Ross. It’s okay to be invisible.

      I want to back stephen. I have always thought good looking NEVER goes out of style. Ever. Middle finger girl looks OK to me. She’s hot. She could drive an ice-cream truck to my house, with music going, and I’d ask her out.

      That’s the problem with runway shows.

      They wear ridiculous Darth Vader-Ass clothing, but they–they models–are crack, smoking crack hot.

      So it skews things.

      What Blake said, esp. those last two lines. Pure gold, Jimmy. Gold… lamé (sorry, I couldn’t help myself). Hey, where’s the contra side, though? I wanna hear from Tim Jones-Yelvington. Tim? Thoughts, please?
