After a Jekyll and Mister Hyde type of weekend (Saturday was as exciting as Jennifer Aniston's
hair parting, whereas Sunday was more like Angelina Jolie's
wild rogue leg), I decided to soothe the entry into Monday by prentending I was Blair Waldorf.
I put on a Gossip Girl soundtrack, perfected my bitchface and started scheming about Monday's office shenanigans, i.e the ins and outs of how I was going to permanently borrow one of those fabulous black 'n red pads without the stationery cupboard colonel noticing.... And trust me, Colonel Papier Mâché will defend her cupboard monotooth and nails.
But I got interrupted mid-scheming by what I thought was a non potty-trained Justin Bieber taking a leak doggy style. You see, from far away, it looked like one of his delusional 'I weewee on Society' type of infantile tantrums.
But,oh. It turns out I was wrong. It is actually Romeo Beckham taking a leak on Society for being so ridiculously obsessed with celebrities. This is Burberry Prorsum's Ad Campaign.
I mean what in the watery hell is this mess (
I live in Britain, hell is watery)? Is this supposed to be High Fashion? The purple foil trench coat straight out of Vanilla Ice's "pervert in the dark" wardrobe? The constipated model dude doing his best "i'm holding it in" face? The kid doing a Stevie Wonder is Surfing with the Alien impression?!
What really gets my mullet raising under my beret is that, were these ads featuring a random kid, they would be lambasted for what they really are : a shiny, tacky, cheap mess. Even the background looks like it has been recycled from the Green Lantern's bathroom.
But since what we have is nepotism disguised as edgy disguised as inspired...You get Bieberry Possum! And dear, you know you are doomed when even my trashy hillbilly self finds your brand tacky...!
On this note, I am going back to browsing the latest Mullet Shapes for Spring Summer 2013. I am going fishing...gotta catch some (Chuck) Bass this year!
Yours Sharply,
