Dead Cliche
Introducing the newest addition to every urban-dwelling 20-something’s uniform. I figure they’ll get really popular once the trend dies in a year or so in a “never forget” kind of way, you know?

I wanted to make sure my jump over the shark didn’t fall short, considering the disastrous implications. So I figured if I was going to do a cliche parody of an icon-turned-cliche, I might as well use cliche cool-guy tattoo lettering and pump it full of the most cliche pattern possible.
Damn it… I knew I should have given the heart some Wayfarers and a headband… anyway…
Admittedly, it’s hard to stand by flannel and plaid when every 13 year old girl in suburbia is wearing it. But it looks like flannel’s domination over hipstard fashion is finally waning, probably because it doesn’t look “poor” enough anymore. I hear burlap’s the next big thing. 2011 is going to be burlap everything — burlap shirts, burlap hats, even burlap thongs. And after that, steel wool.
