Eh.

I guess having a vagina, to designers, automatically means that pink and purple are in my top 3 in color choices. Listen, don't get me wrong I love the whole spectra of color just like the next person but I shouldn't have to be limited in my closet to what pallet i can choose from. I tend to try to stay away from the main line labels because they are all the same. Apple bottom, Baby phat, Dereon... the list goes on and on but even the underground labels are starting to piss me off. I love these labels because they do something different but end up jumping in the same box with the rest. It never fails. I celebrated and stalked the internets to find Luxire when it was first launch and got a couple of the key pieces, but as always it sulked in to the typical label and made it undesirable to me as well. So I pressed on and decided to try Married to the Mob .It seems as if they are moving down the same path.

I don't feel like I ask for much. Just typically tshirts. Not baby tees. Tee shirts. If Sons of Liberty, Frshness, 10Deep, and so on created a girls line and stuck to the same design methods as they do for the male counterparts I'd be in designer heaven. but, sigh, I seemed to be asking for a miracle of some sort. Although when lines come out for girls they seem to start out in the right direction they all end the same. tight baby tees, familiar cuts (halters..) with their monogram of some sort all over the tee. Come on people. Get creative.

another design flaw that irks me is the sneaker. it's tending to get better. but it seems as if i want a sneak i have to get something that is some sort of florescent color. Look. its 2009, not 1985. Day Glo is out and so is this scheme. Females like dank, strong color scheme just as much as the flirty ones. So why does every sneaker that I see remind me that I was once 7 years old.

I guess at the end of the day I have to continue to do what works as of now. Buy little boy's clothing and pray that I can find everything else in men's smalls and stalk stores for 7 1/2s. Jeebus Crist, who knew shopping could feel like a full time job. There is no reason why when it comes to "urban" clothing I have to feel automatically disappointed and blinded by all of the streetwalker-ish and bright clothing that lines the racks. Oh well, one day I wont have to worry anymore.
