In the words of Mugatu - "Let me show you ... Derelicte! It is a fashion, a way of life inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crack whores that make this wonderful city so unique."

If I ever needed a picture to make me say "That *HAS* to be Screwtape!!!" that picture would be it.

OMG, can a poor human be more unattractive. (Helen Thomas notwithstanding)

These so called stars can't wear anything original and fashionable. All they do is copy each other and guess a memo is sent down to each of them saying something like: "OK...wear this or that and remember to look as stupid, ignorant and dumb as you can."

They are not the stars of hollywood. They are little personalities and because of that they have to make themselves stand out somehow. Only thing is they all stand out the same way. Stupid, ignorant, classless, and people I am certainly glad I dont' have to look at everyday especially when I can be looking at members of my family who are dignified, classy and filled with respect for themselves and others. hollywood? It's dead. It's over so...maybe them wearing the skulls is a GOOD thing. The funny part about hollywood being dead is the actors/actresses themselves killed it. No big loss.

These shallow twits are so easily thrilled.

Two years ago when my son changed 3 pant sizes in one year, I was buying the pants on clearance at Kohl's. There were so many pants with skulls on them left over.
Since this was the boy's department, I wondered if they thought the buyers (moms) of the clothes would have their sons running around with skulls on their clothes? My son would have loved it. I wasn't buying it. And with all that was left over neither were other parents.

While boho chic is out, death is very in.

I'm sure dresses with suicide bomb belts will be the rage shortly. Hollywood is clearly sinking deeper into depravity. Like watching a bad car accident happen, Hollywood is almost frightening to watch. I might think to leave them to their own devices except for the fact that many will be dragged down along with them.

Please tell me that was a photo shop job : (

What would they say if they saw us now?

Skulls are one of the most popular tattoos. Many kinds of skulls.

I used to have a hot street car I called the "Grim Reaper". It had a little picture of the "Angel of Death" painted on the side. Just the head. Skull with a hood. Sickle too. Just the blade and part of the handle.

Apparently Miss Lohan has not yet discovered double-sided tape either. LOL

One of the reasons I love second hand stores for clothes. You find beautiful things, from great high end stores, and devoid of all the newest fashions to intimidate your kids it seems.

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

I was wear the Jolly Rodger 20 years ago when I was riding a Harley I have several Tats that are "grim" but sheesh... High Fashion Skullys? What will they think of next? Clear panels in the rear end of ladies blue jeans? Didn't they make a movie of that?

[School of Rational Thought]

What next. Skulls on motorcycles and biker apparel?

[I still care]

I am always amazed at how one moment some silly item is "in" and another is "out".

Today the scarf is $800, tomorrow on the dollar rack.

And all it is, is a silly scarf with some pirate pictures on it.

Yikes! Can't she afford to do something about all the sun-damaged skin on her back? Her back looks like an old yenta in Boca...

[31R1O]

Either that or gestapo lapel pins.

[Tribune7]

Reason one through nine, why the billionares prefer girls like Anna Nicole Smith.

[Constitution Day]

AVAST, YE SCURVY DOGS!! ARRRR!!

[IronJack]

I wonder if this is a repeat of the medieval fascination with the danse macabre, a sublimated death wish? Has our culture become so decadent that we secretly long for the grim embrace? Or is it just a bunch of scared children whistling past the boneyard?

[wreckedangle]

What next. Skulls on motorcycles and biker apparel?

Then skateboards and skateboarder apparel. Where will it all end????
