I love J. Crew's kid line for one big reason (adorable, Benetton-esq kids aside): their clothing looks like it is for children. When I was about 7 or 8, I remember the Limited Too was really popular. That store drove my mother insane because the clothing always looked slutty and tacky--like they were teaching six year olds that it was cool to want to dress like a desperate 30 year old divorcee. Crewcuts just looks age appropriate and combines wholesomeness, quirkiness and fun in just the right way. I'm glad that they are doing well.
@Tchotchke: I agree. Crewcuts are a bit pricey, but at least they are tacky/annoying. I'm sick of seeing sexual innuendo (IN YOUR END-O!) on kids clothes. Pink leopard print is bad on every age. Classic clothes work.
I feel SO old right now. Think of the children('s fashion)!
@greengrey: I know! Right now, my pet peeve is Victoria's Secret's line, "Pink". I know they claim its for college-aged girls and young women, but really? C'mon. Their clothing has puppies all over it and centers around hot pink. It's marketed toward tweens and I think it is beyond vulgar to see a ten year old wearing sweat pants that say "VS Pink" on the ass and a tank top cut just so that her VS bra shows.
For the last time, clothing makers: children are not sexy. Let it go. They should be carefree and not worrying about how big their breasts look in your new padded bra.
How can Kim have fans? What does she do that deserves fanfare? She lives her life, and she has fans? Do I have fans? Should I speak to them through scent? Kim, you always boggle my mind.
@sportz.star: I don't think he's oogling. I think the idea of 6 year old girls with 6-packs and chiseled arms is weird and wrong, though. Should someone so young be working out so much?
@FattyCatty: i don't think that he is envying their bodies as much as he is honoring the amount of discipline it takes for a child to be so dedicated to their sport and training.
@twisted_martini: I'm just bummed that the world has lost our real-life Princess Jasmine (in looks, at least--don't think Disney would have put up with one of their princesses coming out with a sex tape).
Geezus people, just stop wearing fur. Regardless of where it comes from, what it is or what animal it's "in" to kill this year ... it's never ever good.
It's especially disturbing to me that all these young designers are jumping on the fur bandwagon now too: Jason Wu, etc. Can't we just get over it already?
@NicoleItchy: I completely echo your sentiment. I'm not a peta person, I'm not going to go throw paint on anyone, or whatever they did in the 80's, but really, I'm just tired by the idea that we can't get fucking relevant.
I mean, just get over it already. To me, it's no different than using fluorescent light bulbs - the old style is over, it's done, and there's no reason to hang on.
Charivari always seemed like one of those "too cool to go in" places when I was young and learning about fashion. But I summoned up the nerve once and they were very nice to me -- I'm sure they knew I couldn't buy anything.
Bobcat fur is in vogue? Really? I don't get it. I don't understand why anyone wears fur anyway--but bobcat fur seems especially silly to me. Bobcats aren't farmed for fur, are they? They're being hunted, right?
@miggery sow: Trapped. I live in an area with an "indeterminate" bobcat population, and wildlife experts are concerned. Because of the nature of the cat we can't get a good count to start with, which means of course we can't get a good idea of when the cat becomes endangered.
Also, you don't need any kind of license to trap them.
@miggery sow: They are classified as "varmints" - I know that a few years ago "varmints" were classified as predatory animals that could be killed at will. It *might* be that you have to have some sort of pelt-dealer permit, but I'm not sure and don't have the heart to research that.
I am confused on the labor laws... In New York, you can get a work-permit for internships at age 14. I had one, so I could be a candy-striper. It allowed for you to work, uncompensated, for a limited number of hours per week. I feel like this would also cover the Bazaar internship, unless this is not NYC Bazaar and other states don't have the same permit available?
I just feel sad for the guy on the floor; it's never nice to be the odd man out. All I do every time I see this is wonder what his deal is.. Maybe he likes sitting this stuff out? It's like he's listening to Morrissey while the rest of them are listing to that one Fiona Apple song.
@Miss. Money-Sterling: I think he the one who smoked pot and ate a Big Mac Combo while the rest of them did E. Now he's just going to pop his jeans button and watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
