OHHHHH Melrose

I don't get the whole Ed Hardy thing. I really don't, and who the eff is Christian Audigier?? Is he the dude that bedazzles the shit out of Ed Hardy flash tee shirts and hats? EW. Well anyhow, the shiz is all over Melrose, and I can't stand looking at it anymore. The Beverly Center recently made a huge Ed Hardy window display, and it looks like a kid threw up and colored on it at the same time. Not to mention, the mannequins wearing it are far from anatomically correct...Who is buying this shit? Why is it still around? Well i recently found out who's wearing it. I've only seen a few people in LA sporting it. (Pamela Anderson types, David Beckham types, you get it). I recently took a trip down to Orange County for a friends birthday, I ended up with a few friends at a bar on Harbor in Fullerton. Every single chick on that entire block was wearing Ed Hardy, bedazzled shirts, skanky skirt and heels, gross dyed and straightened hair and fake tans. I don't get this look. I don't like this look. I believe some refer to it as "bro hoe". One of the girls started a fight with a bouncer and threatened to cut him after taking off one 6 inch heel and a hoop earring. She yelled, " No one talks to my man like that!" I look over and she's referring to this Joe Dirt lookin stoner kid sitting on the curb nearby. Wow.. what a power couple, they deserve a nickname like "brangelina". For the next 20 mins this girl did nothing but talk about how she was "soooooooo totally going to kick some guys ass". Which would have never happened because she could barely walk. ( It could have been the heels, could have been the crabs..who knows?) Anyways, I rant along. Back to Ed Hardy. It's sad really. Saddddddd. And you would think all the shops on Melrose would be trendy or at least up to date. As I walked up and down it today, i noticed about 5 shops I would shop in. That included all the second hand and vintage shops. The rest were all "Affliciton" and "Ed Hardy" or knock-off of both. I haven't seen more bedazzled shit since the third grade. Even the pants. It's gross..WHO IS BUYING IT? why is it here????? they can't be making money. God help us transform Melrose. Good news though, Kill City is opening up on wonderful Melrose Ave on Saturday, right next to Creatures Of Comfort. Check it out!

  1. haha you rock. My sister bought me an Ed Hardy shirt for my birthday. I do wear it occasionally, to show that I am grateful. When I wear it.. i feel liking smashing faces and "afflicting" pain upon the masses until they "tap-out". Please don't hate me.
