    Dont worry dude, just sweat it out for 2 more yrs and the 90s shit will start creepin' in. I never liked the Shelltoe ADidas trend. I wore those thangs in 1983 and thet were played out by 85. But some late comers made a song and you know the rest.

    That's not going to be localized if it's on MTV. I'd be willing to bet there are kids in Manitoba walking around like that.

    that brings up a good point, it's mainly the young'uns rocking collars. the folks old enough to remember the 80s know better then to bring out their red michael jackson jacket, zippers and all...

    Y'know, MIA is real hot, and her album ARULAR is dope as hell, but for real, homegirl is like the Jackson Pollock of walking 80s fashion trend disasters:









    Is it always laundry day in blogbuzz land or what?

    they aren't izod, they are lacoste, and although flourescent colors aren't my choice, i tend to wear the collar up.

    The only flourescent I own is Lime Green FLO which I got at the POLO outlet.
    No Fonzie collars and definitely no double polo action.

    ah.. a connoisseur.

    well, if you've been doing it since the 80's then props to you for holding out until it became cool again.

    if not.. hmm.. i guess props to you for being trendy.

    and on the off chance that these reasons don't apply and you use the popped collar as support/aerodynamics/shade or whatever.. then i sincerely apologize if you've been offended.
