So recently, anyone with eyes has been noticing Urban Outfitters inspired versions of American Apparel garments which are generally just crayola modified Hanes inspired garments. Urban usually under-sells AA by a couple bucks meaning that plain black tee will now only cost you 14$ instead of 16$; today I was informed of an over-priced American Apparel wannabe in a round-about way; let me clarify. Daily Candy alerted its dull-witted dear readers (the DC is on my shit-list for using 'thingy' to describe male genitalia in todays newsletter) that Kova & T are offering latex leggings for this fall! for only 113$! Balenciaga inspired and already sold out! Well here's the beef. #1 Balenciaga's Spring 07 latex leggings were real latex, not a nylon spandex blend like Kova & T's #2 Balenciaga's were teamed with garments that gave the liquid legs an outer-space-android-sex-ring vibe NOT with flannels, bed-head, and band tee's like Kova & T's are showing. What is a brand that has a customer base rooted in flannel, band tees, bed-head, and converse? American Apparel. So make like yours truely did in June and get thee to AA to pick up some black lame leggings for 44$. Because do you really want to spend 113$ on an item that has the shelf life and general wearability of a head of lettuce?
