How To Look Ghetto

I Don’t Think They’re Ready for this Jelly

Everyone seems to be freaking the fuck out about these snaps from the House of Dereon’s new kids collection. Apparently someone doesn’t think “fuck me” pumps and five year olds mix. Personally, I don’t think this message is to far off from the one we’ve been promoting on the Disney Channel or in tabloid media. Women are discovering at a much younger age the need to be “sexualized”. Yes, it is disgusting, but like the Miley Cyrus backlash, this is just another attempt to place blame in the wrong direction. Should you be pissed at Beyonce’s momma for hawking this shit, or at the idiots who buy it for their kids?

Personally, while I do think the collection is extremely tacky, I don’t see anything wrong with heels on little girls. What girl or boy hasn’t attempted to walk in their mom’s heels (It was once, I was 6, and had it not been caught on tape it probably wouldn’t have been as big as a deal as it has become. Especially, love it when Mama Saynt shows it to my prospective love interests. Nothing says question your boyfriend’s sexuality faster than a video of him strutting in stilletoes. Thanks mom.)? Regardless, I think it’s weird to see girls at such a young age in heels, skinny jeans, and make-up, but isn’t this how children are displayed on shows like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Hanna Montana, and High School Musical?

Where should we draw the line when it comes to decency amongst children? Oh, yeah at home. If you don’t want your kids looking like tramps, don’t buy it, but quit being such a mom blogger and freaking out about it on the web, it’s annoying and know one cares about you flipping opinion.

Yeah, this seems bad, but it could be a lot, lot worse..

Apple Bottoms for babies?

How To Look Ghetto: Fruit Loops

The Satchel pointed this out to us a few days ago, but I noticed the look in my native village of The Bronx about a year ago. The beloved characters of Kelloggs cereals are getting some major street cred by becoming the imagery on a new set of street wear. Hoodies featuring Snap, Crackle and Pop, Toucan Sam, and even the rooster from Corn Flakes have hit the street and are being worn by cereal enthusiasts everywhere. This is probably the stupidest thing ever.

I know that most folks who dress in streetwear don’t mind looking like giant billboards for companies like Rocawear and Sean John, but at least those brands bring some level of status (as in, “Wow, RayRay can afford to buy Rocawear. He must be mad ballin yo.” Yes, I just assume that’s how everyone from the streets talk so please, BE OFFENDED), but do you really think people will mistake you for a “playa pimp” if you’ve replaced Tony Montana for Tony the Tiger? Check yourself, before you wreck yourself, son.

 

 

“Follow Your Nose” coupled with pointing to his ass makes me think he’s after more than a balanced breakfast.
