Grown ups who wear disney logo'd clothes and the like..

[quimcunx]

You seem some really *special* people if you ever visit Disneyland -

True. I went there a few years back for reasons we needn't go into here. We arrived on Halloween and decided to wear all black dresses to the park. Everyone was wearing 'sneakers', shorts, bumbags, baseball caps, regardless of age or gender.

However, I found myself gazing idly at a gentleman dressed with sartorial elegance, accompanied by an equally elegant lady. I realised I'd been staring when he caught my eye and smiled at me.

Then I realised it was OJ Simpson.

There was a great pic in thelondonpaper from Christopher Lane's show at London Fashion Week with a t-shirt with a screaming baboon on it which was pretty cool...

For me stuff like WB & HB cartoon characters just have more innate cred than anything Disney put out. Maybe it's cos they're TV rather than movie based, I dunno, but can people not see the difference between having a Disney Alladin t and Bugs Bunny?

want this, so i do:

I love those.

I like the thief one as well. Could be quite useful as a community punishment however in some areas namely Dagenham such an item of clothing would end up as a uniform. It would be easier to make the non thieves wear sandwich boards saying 'I'm NOT a thief'.

Disney is very naff IMHO. I remember being at primary school and it'd always be the same sort who'd come back showing off their disney autograph books. Always the sort with orange parents and the latest trainers. A trip to their house would uncover land of leather sofa's, laminate flooring and a huge widescreen TV (in the days pre-plasma). Dad was usually something like a taxi driver called Tony.

The wolves ones are the worst though tbf. Usually worn by middle aged spinsters.

Anyway that's enough of my prejudices and stereotypes for one post

When were you at primary school? 5 minutes ago? The whole orange look has only come about in the last decade. The UK didn't discover laminate flooring until Ikea opened and unless you're talking backscreen projection TVs, again, this is in the last 5 years.

Adults wearing disney is much to be preferred over kids wearing playboy!

No it hasn't women have been using sunbeds for decades, they still go orange!

And my mate had a 24 inch telly in 1997.

People wearing disney stuff is a bit weird though.

[dodgepot]

don't do it dave, really.

was it iceberg that had all the jumpers with daffy duck and the like on?

who remembers the frost wahs jeans from the late eighties that had the bros logo or fred flintstone on the thighs?

 

[pengaleng]

there really is a fine line with this shit....

band/graphic tops are alright, also retro
brand logo tops are bordering dodgy
cartoon characters are dodgy
and those god awful 'slogan' tops can really fuck off and do one imo.

Yeh but iceberg stuff was cool at the time, Disney stuff is cringey!

 

[dodgepot]

i'll admit to owning a ghostbusters logo t-shirt a few years ago. but then the ghostbusters logo is *very* cool

 

[kained&able]

iceberg that was it. Yeah i would never stoop as low as actual disney thats just silly but something hip hop with a toon on it is surely just about fair enough kinda.

I've got loads of random company-branded places I have worked, but as I've only ever worked for no-mark shitholes the t-shirts have in some cases outlasted the company

 

[chico enrico]

aha! you mean The Insignia Of Those Who Think Themselves To Be Wacky?

before he hired that stylist who gave him the crap keith richards make-over, russell brand used to wear a micky mouse sweatshirt ever day. i once commented on the fact asking didn't he have any other clothes to which he replied "i've got loads of them, could wear a different one ever day".

a statement which could be entered into wikipedia under the word 'sad'.

I really don't think people that wear disney clothes think of themselves as wacky, they're usually really boring?

true! but whereas some boring people simply accept their lot in life and get on with being dull, punctuated by the occassional underwear theft or however dullards get their kicks, there does exist a definite subspecies of Bores who Think They Are Wacky - those who do 'comedy voices', 'the office joker' and other such dolts.

Bugs bunny ties, mickey mouse swearshirts, other 'zany' adornments and vestments - that is their uniform. And a warning sign to other mortal beings to stay the fuck away, otherwise you risk being subjected to a verbatim reenactment of a 'little britain' sketch.

I feel much the same about "G Star Raw" branded clothing.

Well I left primary school about 14 years ago, laminate flooring was around then as were orange people. And widescreen TV's (those huge CRT ones)

Nope. I think you will find it had its precursors in certain areas & aspirational/occupational groups for a long time before.

The oil-industry people round here were well into it 20-odd years ago. And yes, in those days, it was acres of open-plan laminate, sofas that could eat you, "ranch-style housing", projection tellies &/or 3-tube, watercooled Barco projectors. Conspicuous consumption writ-large.

Novel, I know but this for me too.

The guy at the kiosk gave me a Sharpay button badge to add to my hat the other day. Does that count?

 

[moomoo]

Of course they can. As long as it's not got Mickey Mouse on it.

 

[Madusa]

never knew you were such a fashionista, moomoo.

I'll be writing for the fashion mags next I tell you!

*passes moomoo baseball cap with mouse ears on it*

 

[newme]

What about Dangermouse

 

[pengaleng]

dangermouse is acceptable because it's retro.
