    I have to admit, I clicked on this after briefly glancing at the title without reading the description. I expected to see Burton dressed up as his various creations. This is cool too though,

    I hope this catches on. I am so tired of putting skulls on everything. I was in Old Navy this past weekend with the kid and in the baby section they had infant clothing with skulls on it. Sure it's cute but come on.

    Pet Fashion Peeve:
    A guy can't buy clothing for his gurl because there is no conversion table between men's and women's sizes (outside of S,M,L).
    From youth, guy's clothes are about actual, physical measurements (eg.,pants 32x30, shirts 16x32).
    No femme has ever been able to explain to me the difference between misses and petite sizes (or why they are even broken out that way) or the arcane numbers used (She's a size 8).
    Is this a part of the 'feminine mystique'?

    Stupid goddamn actual future. Really, how did we end up where we are today when we had this as a launching board. Sure some of the stuff is a little silly. But for my money having women walk around looking like Box from Logans Run would be far less silly than something like this.. [www.collegelawstudent.com] which I see all the time.

    As for the Shutter Shades, considering they're about 30 years old already probably some hip hopper 50 years from now will bring them back again.


    I love the posing in all this because the whole thing makes me think of "Blow Up" and how who ever directed this fashion shoot probably balled all these ladies and then sort of but didn't solve a murder.
