I don’t know. Crocs are still popular. Michelle Obama even wears them.

@Chal: I think there’s probably a good bit of cross-over between Hummer drivers and Ed Hardy wearers.

@Burn! I feel the same way about the Hummer– great asshole indicator.

Coming soon, just for frazgo: Ed Hardy branded Crocs.

I must say, although I despise all the gaudy Ed Hardy (and my other “favorite,” Affliction) branded threads that have been vomited upon the pseudo-hip in L.A., all that crap does serve a purpose. It’s an advance warning system. When I see a hyper-colored and bedazzled hat, shirt and bag on the street or in a crowd, I am able to discern from some distance that the person clothed within is, in all likelihood, a colossal douchebag. I am able to give them a wide berth, thus minimizing contact and making me a much happier person. Thanks, Audigier!

Maybe it was Ed Hardy.

Or maybe the guy was on his way to race his Ed Hardy Formula 1 car at Laguna Seca, and got dressed halfway to save time.

Maybe Ed Hardy is paying him a whole lot to be a walking head-to-toe advertisement. Let’s hope so.

Re. Ed Hardy, an article in Los Angeles mag a couple months back had a long article about Christian Audigier (sp.?), the “mastermind” behind the Hardy and Von Dutch fads. Audigier, (who is French) was quoted in the article saying something to his designers (who do the actual designing) along the lines of, “Make it garish and tacky because Americans have no taste and love that look.”

Which kind of compounds Lucinda’s comment.

LA mag article is here; it’s a good read: http://www.lamag.com/featuredarticle.aspx?id=15304

Flipflops are the new Crocs. As a nation, our fashion screams “slacker.” This is why the foreigners are winning at everything.

FORWARD! WITH SENSIBLE SHOES FOR PROGRESS! FOR AMERICA!
