I’m Over It: Creative Recreation

Edited by Corey Moran

Creative Recreation got out to a promising start with me, but now they just annoy me. When they first started generating buzz I was really into them, and they were a great “indie” version of Nike almost. However, after years of production and season after season of way too many pieces, I have grown tired of them. They are just too tacky, and the fact that I see more and more ghetto kids wearing them doesn’t help either. Each season they come out with what seems like 100 new sneakers, in some of the dumbest color and pattern combinations I have ever seen. I will say every once in a while I see a pair that I think is pretty cool, but that’s after I see a couple hundred ugly pairs. I think they need to cut back on production, and focus on making less models that are higher quality. You had a good run Creative Recreation, but now if you would please fade into the background or move all your sales to Harlem that would be great.

I’m Over It: Designers Doing Cars

The new Citroen 2CV by Hermes

Louis Vuitton Vespa

Volkswagon Beetle for Barney's NYC

Louis Vuitton car

Bugatti by Hermes

On Monday Rebecca wrote about how she wanted the new Fiat 500 by Diesel, well after two more designer/fashion inspired cars were spotted today, I am officially over this lame trend. The new Hermes Citroen 2CV and the Volkswagon Beetle for Barney’s are pretty damn lame if you ask me. As if the orginal car isn’t expensive enough (with the exception of the VW) now you have to pay the added super premium price to have the left over fabric from an old Hermes line stiched over the seats. The only really cool vehicle I see here is the Louis Vuitton Vespa, mostly because you can actually see the signiture monogram print. If you like Hermes or Diesel enough to buy their collaboration cars, save your money on the car and spend it on their clothes where it should be spent in the first place.

Thanks to Selectism for the images.

I’m Over it: Moustaches

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Yes, we’ve recently Trendsparked them… but  Jezebel has just given us the 6 reasons why they are not sexy, and I must agree. Here they are:

1. If he has has curly hair, you’ll realize you’re kissing the guy from Welcome Back Kotter. Or Gene Shalit. Not sexy.

2. If the dude is blond, you might be tricked into thinking you’re hooking up with Westley from The Princess Bride. But you’re not. Also, it looks like a broom. And that’s not sexy.

3. This style could be called The Keith Hernandez. It is also: Not sexy.

4. Some staches make guys look more mean. America’s Most Wanted: Not sexy.

5. Pat O’Brien is up for the Goulet award. But you just can’t date a man with a stache like this. He will leave you a voicemail that says, “You are so fucking hot. I am so fucking into you.” Not sexy.

6. End of story.
