Its hard for me to tell sarcasm through internet words. Regardless, I kinda want to make one of these. More fun then shopping for the stuff.

Constructing the self through clip art

A friend who maintains a street style blog asked me to put together a collage illustrating the sort of fashion that I typically wear. So I’ve spent most of my day off scouring the Internet for pictures of clothes that look like “pieces” that I actually own. Aside from the watch and the camera, which I actually own, I could never justify the purchase of anything else in this image. Spending a week’s worth of my wages on a shirt and tie isn’t the sort of thing that I’m able to do, but pretending that I can makes for fancy graphics.

Oh yes, I even got to craft some fake soundbytes.

“If I have to label my style, I suppose that I would describe it as either post-emo modernism or Banana Revolutionary.”

“No man over the age of twenty-five has any excuse to wear a poorly fitted t-shirt and jeans in public. “

“If you’re a man who doesn’t carry a bag, it tells people that your life so unremarkable that you can carry it your pockets.”

“That watch is a cheap Chinese import, and it’s more ironic and irreverent than a fake Rolex. Which I also own.”

“When the economy is booming, the thrift store finds are better. I think that its a combination of a fashion industry that has the money to risk on forward designs and consumers who are more concerned with keeping up with the trends than they are with keeping up on their bills. When the economy tanks, people aren’t buying entirely new wardrobes, so the thrift pickings are slim and prices are also much higher.

“Men pay way too much for clothes, because retailers know just how much we hate to shop. Not only is there a glaring lack of choice that keeps prices up — just consider how few square feet of store space is reserved for mens clothing — the culture of shopping alienates men to the point where most of us are willing to drop money once we find something that fits us, just to get out of the shop. And so retailers don’t have any incentive to price things moderately.

Fuck yeah, fashion blogs. Fuck yeah.

do NOT SAVE MARIO'S GELATI

Seriously. Mario and His son Constantin or something are asshole who treat their employees like shit. If the store went out of business it would be best for everyone.

This is on Hastings by my old place. I always wanted to post a picture of it but never got around to it. Hilarious.
