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!
Here’s a few more snaps from the window display…
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.
