fashion plate

setting fashion trends is one of this blogger's core competencies. for example, reflect back to the "floral with plaid" craze from the summer of 2005.

that was me. i started that.

"floral with plaid" got so big, that by summer 2006 EVERYONE was doing it. but follow the fad from it's roots: the 2006 crowd was behind the curve, and i had already moved into a more avante garde application. sycophants, "floral with plaid" was sooo 2005.

however, this memorial day weekend (2007), i witnessed something that gave me pause- a manchild, in "plaid with camoflauge". nice job.

to you, manchild, congratulations. but, staying on top in the fashion world is the hard part. enjoy this victory, but fashion moves quickly, and this blogger moves quicker. can you smell what j-pac is cooking?
