No, seriously. Are you ready to feel really, really old?
This cover was shot in 1994.
The target demographic of Forever 21 does not remember a time when Courtney Love was a musician and not just a mess.

Ready to Feel Old?

Eye of the Tiger
I don't get it. I don't.
Won't half the tiger's face be obscured by whatever bottoms you're wearing? Are you supposed to just not wear pants so as to show the full tiger face? Because if that's the case, please don't do that. We all know what tigers look like; we don't all need to know how efficient your waxer is.

Where The Wild Things Are
I love Modcloth. Their clothes are, 80% of the time, absolutely adorable and unusual. Yeah, they end up on the site a lot, but that's only because I spend so much time surfing it for clothes I want to buy, and it's always striking when I find something that is unappealing.
They made it too easy this time, though.
This dress is called the "Chest-ire Cat Maxi dress," and what I hate most about it is that they spoiled my absolutely brilliant pun.
I like how it's emerging from the matrix, just like the actual Cheshire Cat. Only difference is, from the look on his face, this is a Lolire cat, and he's about to ask, "I can haz chezeburgr?"
I guess you can wear this dress when your Three Wolf Moon Tee just isn't formal enough.
And this dress, I'm pretty sure, is available for purchase at that same store that sells the Native American-made blankets and dreamcatchers.

Food for Thought
If you thought the cheeseburger phone from "Juno" was cool, wait until you see this work of art.
That's right, it's a wallet shaped like a taco. A taco that holds your money.
Is your mind blown yet?

Fur Sure.
I have so many responses to this shirt, I'm just going to list them:
1. If it weren't, it wouldn't be called "fur," it'd be called "a pet."
2. Really, you paid $28 for this shirt?
3. No, seriously. Couldn't you have saved a mink for $28?
4. Has anybody ever been swayed by a t-shirt? Is there someone out there who has kicked the heroin habit after seeing a "Hugs Not Drugs" t-shirt?
5. What's the thought process when you're getting dressed in the morning? "Hm, I have to run errands today ... do I wear my tunic and skinny jeans, or do I start a social movement?"
6. The best they could do for the design was something you can make a Neighborhoodies?
7. I want a shirt that says "Meat is Delicious," just to be contrary.

Don't Be Taken In By His Welcome Grin
I was originally going to dub this a costume idea, but it's just too obvious. Especially since, if you're going to go in the crocodile costume vein, you should always go with this:
So, when would this dress be appropriate?
I'm thinking, if you're going to the zoo and you want to cause some trouble.

The Forest for the Trees
I don't really know what to say about this top, but I feel like it needs to be posted.
Sassy model seems to really be enjoying this top. I can't even criticize it, really, because she just seems to love wearing it so much. I don't know what occasion one would wear this to - from her accessories and shiny leggings, I'm guessing some sort of eco-clubbing thing? I don't know. I just keep staring at the top, repeating basic observable facts about it to myself, like: "It's blue. It has one sleeve. There are trees on it. It has satin banding." Beyond that, I can't figure out what to say about it, because it's so literal.
This isn't a pattern of small trees all over the thing. It's not an abstract tree winding its way up her torso. This is, very simply, a picture of trees on a shirt with one sleeve. It is remarkably literal.
I don't know why this exists. I don't know who wears it. But if you know someone who does, or who would, please tell me. I have so many questions for them.
