O/T: another stupid Von Dutch Originals post

[Mike Zenor]

From the "beating a dead horse" department... as expected, the 15 minute clock is running out for the graverobbing trend ghouls at VDO. Saw this in the NY Post last week -

<a href=http://nypost.com/gossip/40329.htm>ONE TREND L.A. CAN KEEP</a>

"IF anyone ever any doubt about whether New York was more fashion-forward than Los Angeles, the Von Dutch clothing craze now gripping the late sleepers of La-La land should end any debate. Besides inspiring the odious "trucker hat" trend, the L.A.-based line of hot-rod inspired duds has become de rigueur for clueless clotheshorses Britney Spears, Fred Durst, Ricky Martin, Justin Timberlake, Tara Reid - and every other bubble-headed boldfacer without a whit of fashion sense. Halle Berry's husband, the gooey R&amp;B crooner Eric Benet, is pictured in the new Us Weekly and In Touch wearing a Von Dutch trucker hat and t-shirt, accessorized with a "rough and tumble" wallet chain. Apparently the Von Dutch victims actually believe they look good. Thankfully, New Yorkers haven't taken the bait. Spotting Von Dutch duds at a stylish soiree in this town is still rarer than finding a tray of lasagna backstage at a fashion show."


Hey, live by the fad, die by the fad.

There's a difference between FASHION and STYLE.

What's wrong with lasagna?

[Mike Zenor]

Apparently the "lasagna" thing was a crack about anorexic junkie-chic fashion models.

Hey modernbeat, did you get the DVD and the other stuff?

Yeah, but what fun is the purge without the binge?

[Mike Zenor]

Then there's the mighty Orcabetty - all of the binge with none of the purge

...sporting the latest Von LargerThanHolland fashions.

I don't mean to be a dick. But caring about VDO and bitching about it's popularity has become more trendy than wearing it.

Which is worse? Who cares? Let it be already. This is becoming a weekly post. Mike I know you know all this, I'm just posting this in hopes this isn't followed up by the usual 200 VDO Sucks posts from people without cars. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

They are also looking at it from a "runway" perspective. It sounds more like the critic in the above article is more upset that these celebs are running around in Tshirts and trucker hats TRYING to look "down and dirty" instead of wearing Armani, like every self respecting REAL man should. So, I don't think it is the Von Dutch company or business practices this guy is bashing, it seems more like he is bashing their "low brow" look.
He'd probably have written the same article if these folks showed up at the Emmys in the latest Fritz Roswell Rod shirts.
