Daniel Saynt’s Fashion Sense Questioned by Readers

We like to claim that Fashion Indie is a fair sounding board for the fashion world and most of the time we are, that is until I start getting grilled by readers for my opinions on fashion and certain areas of the USA!!!

A few weeks ago I posted the photo above with the title “Fashion F*cks: Why Middle America Scares Me” (I’ll pause for a second to allow everyone in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles to laugh their heads off.). Apparently, some folks thought I was a bit harsh for making such a joke.  I could have easily done a similar post with a photo of a passed out hipster outside of Happy Endings in a pool of vomit with the title “Fashion F*cks: Why New York Scares Me” and I’m sure I wouldn’t have gotten as much flack as with this photo. Apparently, some Middle Americans are a little bit sensitive, and don’t enjoy it when a Yankee like me pokes a little fun.

Keep in mind indies, I’m just some dude in Brooklyn, who enjoys stating how I feel about fashion, that’s all.  I didn’t go to fashion school, I’m not trained in style, I’m just some normal guy who’s a bit more addicted to glossies and runway shows than the rest.  I started this site a year ago and now over 300,000 people come here ever month to hear what the fuck I have to say about fashion.  I don’t want people to agree with me (though many do), I just want my voice to be heard.

Thank god I got that shit off my back, now time for a rebuttal too these two assholes who felt the need to question my love of a certain Adidas shirt that I enjoy wearing from time to time.

   Daniel,

   Why don’t you trash that Addidas shirt before you make cracks about fashion. You look like just as much as a retard as the dude you posted.

   The Adidas shirt went out in the ’80s. Oooh, sorry. I should have noticed you are from Brooklyn, the fashion capital of the world. You OBVIOUSLY know more about fashion than anyone else and for DAMNED sure care more than I do or ever will.

   No need to bother replying, I came in through Stumble and if it ever puts me here again I’ll leave as quickly as I can hit the button. Pretentious bullshit…

The Shirt in Question…

Yes, I’m posing. So what?!?

First off to Sammy, really you don’t like my shirt? I like it and that’s all that fucking matters you fucking pimple.

I don’t care if you don’t like my shirt. I don’t care if you don’t like my comments on fashion. Frankly, I don’t give a flying fuck about you, cause at the end of the day, the only thing that matters, is what I think about it.  You see, so many people out there have this view of what fashion should be,  the way we should look. I personally don’t like the way trailer park trash, ghetto people, beach douches from Jersey, Time Square visiting mid-westerners or certain hipsters dress and I make it my goal everyday to state my opinion. Some people agree, most don’t, but that’s okay. Opinions are great, just don’t be a sissy bitch and take them to heart.

So I made fun of Middle America, oops, my bad, but realize that I am only stating an opinion that many people feel.  Don’t like it, who cares, just brush your shoulders off and keep living your life in bubblefuck.  Of course, realize that eventually, you’re gonna wanna leave you’re little hick town. You’re gonna wanna leave your little go-no-where town and move to the Big City, where dreams come true and the amount of money you make has no limit. On that day, give me a call, so that I can rundown everything that’s wrong with the way you dress and act.  Cause in my city, it’s all about appearances and I make no appologies for telling people when theirs makes them look like the illegitimate lovechild of Steve Urkel and Pee Wee Herman.

As for you BlueState, why the fuck are you commenting on this site if you don’t like fashion?  I don’t care if you Stumbled your way here, just leave without making a remark. Unless of course, you really do like fashion.  Could that be it?  Are you afraid to tell anyone of your love of couture? Do you secretly wish you were on Project Runway?  Do you spend a little too much time in your closet wishing you had a fabulous top to match your acid washed jeans?  I think you care much more than you think. Why else would you read the post, read the comments, and then leave your own little bitchy comment?  Don’t be jealous cause I live in the fashion capital of the world, don’t be angry cause no one is dissecting my style, the fact is I think you wish you we’re here instead of living in your trailer park where style has been replaced by NASCAR. You can come here if you want to.  Just make the decision and move, but please, stop being so bitter.  No one likes an unstylish douchebag, but we can’t enough of stylish assholes.
