Its official. 2007 was the year of the blog. I’m sure of it because Kitson on Robertson Blvd. has a giant window display that says so.
To celebrate, they’re hawking t-shirts and other apparel with branding from gossip blogs including Perez Hilton, TMZ.com, Pink is the New Blog, D Listed, and Just Jared.
What? No mention of LAist? (Ha! But seriously, if you want an LAist t-shirt you can buy one online for $2.99).
For some reason, I think this is less an actual attempt to profit from the merchandise than to con bloggers into writing about it and giving Kitson some free publicity. Suckers!
The ‘Hot Topic For The Silver-Spoon Celeb Whore Crowd’ can suck it of course, yet for the Militant himself, it indeed has been the Year of The Blog.
Damn, LAist at 2.99? That means I can get a bunch for oil changing rags or spare in the trunk for emergency tp and other misc clean up.
I’d sooner pay $2.99 not to wear an LAist shirt.
