Media Eff You, Men.Style.com: Get Your Own Headline

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Thu, Aug 23 at 10:36 AM

I am aghast: Men.Style.com has done a Fall 2007 trend report on apocalyptic fashion, filled with all sorts of delightful foolishness, such as a $1,485 Dsqaured jacket with the caption:

As the old saying goes, when living in a police state, wear a police jacket. (Or at least we think that’s how it goes.) And because looking this good is bound to attract unwanted attention, you’ll be happy to know that both jacket and pants have plenty of hidden pockets for stashing contraband.

But the point is: They solicited Portland’s own Urban Scout, and featured his Rewild Camp. As some of you recall, I wrote a feature on Urban Scout back in August of ‘06, wich I wittily titled, “Apocalypse Soon.” Since then he’s had more exposure, sure, but the difference here is that men.style.com stole my frigging headline, calling their whimsical featurette, uh… Apocalypse Soon.

My headline. Mine.

(In case you were wondering what the $1,485 Dsquared jacket looks like.)

I thought Ben Waterhouse came up with that first.

ZING!

Actually, I stole the idea from this other guy.

For $1485 that fucker better stop bullets and zombie-teeth.

If you wait, you might be able to get a elephant-gun proof* Trojan suit from the guy who created the anti-bear armor for $2,000.

I'm not joking.
