Shopping today in TK Maxx I noticed that almost all the tops in the girls 'young fashion' section were either 'Playboy' or 'Goldigga' branded.

Why do you think garmnents like this are published? Do girls really like them? Is fashion in general damaging? And what can we do about it? In what way does this example of popular culture manifest the ontological void, the trauma of the Real, the ceaseless, futile pursuit of objet petit a which is infact a facet the mutual implication of subject-objects?

You'll have to try a bit harder with this one if you want it to be funny.

Quite apart from any ideological objections one could have to such garments, they invariably look fucking rubbish.

Whilst we were out shopping we went into a sports shop which sold pretty much ONLY those magic bloody trainers. The shop is closing down.

The citizens of Brighton are not fooled.

Jack learnt today (the hard way) that you shouldn't cut the lables out of clothes you've just bought, until you've tried them on. What an idiot.

Jeans. He said he was gunna send me a pic of them on but he hasn't. They just looked like normal jeans in the shop but when he tried them on at home he realsied they were quite a skinny fit. Word has it they make him look thinner though.

I bought these LRG jeans from the internet a while ago:

but the place i got them from didn't show the back. when i got them i noticed the rather large print on the back:


but they actually look really really dope on so i got lucky. fuck skinny fit jeans though, it's all about leaving room for your cock. when standing, i don't even have to dress to either side with the jeans i'm wearing right now. just plenty of room for all. skinny fit jeans though? stop hugging me bits.

I'm not sure those really counted as skinny jeans and if they do then the exception proves the rule.
