It blows my mind how somethings become trendy and popular.  Take burberry for example.  I mean give me an effing break.  It’s doo-doo brown plaid that looks like it should be a flannel shirt in my grandad’s closet, not to mention it’s priced like golden fleece.  That doesn’t stop people from shelling out Client #9 type money to look like Bear Bryant throw back day.  It’s every marketer’s dream: a popular name with the label whore crowd.  Seriously, does anyone really think burberry shit looks good?  If there was no such thing as burberry and you showed a group of stylish, trendy girls a burberry jacket, they would laugh you back to the Hamptons.  Some heroin-riddled stick figure wears something on a runway in New York and suddenly it’s a must have in North Carolina.  So good to see people thinking for themselves.  Same thing for Louis Vuitton.  Please tell me what the eff is “cute” about dark brown leather with Ls and Vs all over it?  I saw a girl the other day wearing a burberry scarf, carrying a Coach purse and dragging a Louis overnight bag (I know this shit because I have a “trendy” girlfriend).  I wanted to slap her so hard those Ls and Vs turned into Fs and Us.  I’m pretty sure the gear on her person cost more than a semester of my college tuition.  Just know Ms. Trend-follower, next time you think you look good in your $700 purse, you don’t.  That shit is fugly as hell.
