This is Fashion

i came across this image the other day at work while doing research and despite all the absurd and questionable editorial fashion i expose myself to on a daily basis, this image in particular just really made me giggle. there's SO much stuff out there in the world of fashion that can give rise to an eyebrow or two but this outfit, in all it's pared down sheer simplicity (pun intended), i found to be magnificently absurd. in case you haven't realized it yet, the above is a shirt that evokes a particular form of the female figure which is fancy talk for makes men look like they have titties. you know those shirts you can by on the boardwalk of any shore town, usa with the drawing of the bikini clad lady torso and when you put it on, your head becomes the head for the torso and it looks like you're a scantily clad cartoon bikini lady?? yeah, there's really no difference between that and the above EXCEPT for the notable exception that booby tee up there probably costs $827 more than the $4.99 you'd drop for cartoon bikini lady (but hey, at least both forms of shop keeper would most likely be equally as surly towards you, so there's that...). i dove a little deeper into the "trend" that homeboy up there exemplifies and found the following images that i figured i should also share. enjoy the carnival or fine art or whatever they call it.

Salt N Pepa

Bright Eyes Bushy Tail

tonight i met the artist that makes these stuffed little guys so i had to post about them. they're fucking adorable. check out her etsy story at www.brighteyesbushytail.etsy.com. i can't tell if my favorite is the venus flyfriend above, mugly the monkfish or the sneaky bushytailed fox. adorable. 

Little People

this has been around for awhile but thought i'd share anyways. it's a london street art project called "little people" and it's super fun. a few more after the jump or just check out the blog here.
