Some Hipster Girl and the Amazing Technicolor Sack

I was trying to think of something clever to write about for this first post in a while, but then I was just like, "Maybe I'll just check out Face Hunter instead- that usually comes through in the ugly department." And how!

Tie-dye is one of those things, in my opinion, that is simply flat out hideous. No matter what you do with it, or how Prada tried to rework it in some collection a few years ago, it's always going to look like something hippies with bad taste/kids at camp even though whenever we tie-dyed at camp it always just looked like the shirt had just grown mold on it/the sartorially clueless would wear. I mean, every time I see a hippie wearing tie-dye, I think, "Why don't you just tote along a giant bong and tattoo Bob Marley's name on your face and really take it all to the next level of walking cliche?"

(I did think tie-dye was pretty cool at around age nine, and when I went to New York City with my parents, I wore a tie-dyed onesie- perhaps exclusively, from the looks of the vacation snapshots. Even though I was just an innocent child, the idea of this still sort of repulses me.)

Anyway, the point is, I would like to think this is a joke. I mean, if this was a plain white oversized tee with an asymmetrical fringed bottom, it would be a gross outfit, but the fact that it has that psychedelic heart rainbow on it makes it all the worse. Perhaps worst of all, is that probably some tool in New York has that onesie now, and is wearing it out on the town, and being lauded for it, and such.
