rainbow colored tees - smiley faces... what happened???

mmm, it must be the late summer of love...or something

maybe Hikaru just (re) discovered Acid house?

i dunno, but that vest is tits! i should get that billy tee for my little bro--his name is billy too.

totally brings back the lovely summer style of 88 in the east village.

i agree about the vest, simple rad piece you could rock for a long time

I'm feeling the zip up leather jacket.

smiles, everyone, smiles....

terrible

its what you wouldn't expect from bounty and that is 120% PUNK!

i saw this the other day. i would love to score that vest.

so is good charlotte punk? from their appearance I was not expecting to hear songs that could have been performed by Hanson. When i first saw them hosting 120 minutes i thought they were goth or metal or something.

if bxh toned it down i would be happy with a 110% punk effort!

i mean, i don't hear anyone complaining about cereal references... lol

everyone loves the cap'n crunch related stuff, but i bet the same peeps would be howling if it was the rice crispy dudes!

Only if it were POP. SNAP and CRACKLE are homos.

what is that supposed to mean??

snap crackle and pop are okay as long as they aren't homos?

can't make sense of what u wrote

There was a period in there. Only Snap and Crackle are homos. I happen to know that's true, too.

The smiley Ts are part of a childrens range I think.

Surely the use of smileys by BxH is a nice nod to their close ties with Barnzley anyway?

The other bright Ts look like a leopard pattern to me, which BxH frequently use on their clothing. Its not as if Hikaru's leather jackets are at the duller end of the spectrum.

haha! thanks el word, i thought it was cornbluth being his cryptic self. and i've learned not to rely on punctuation on message boards

btw, NICE KITTIES!!

i find it ironic that ever since the all over hoodie epidemic people have been pulling out all the strings - case in point i never expected to see rainbow tee's from bxh. also b had nothing to do with the smiley tee and i must be ignorant but i can't draw the parallel between barnzley and a splattered happy face?

I believe this is where the term "Awwww SNAP!" came to be...

I think what makes the new shirts punk is that if Hikaru sees you wearing a smiley face shirt on the street he punches you in the face

The nod towards Barnsley and the smiley face is more a slice of pop/fashion trivia more than any real belief that it is any more than a coincidence that he is down with BxH now.

From Paul Gorman's excellent) book " The Look. Adventures in Pop and Rock Fashion"....

"The smiley logo had re-emerged during the short lived 70s Superbad revival of late 1987, when flares and afro wigs were worn by rare groovers bored of the stripped down aesthetic of the scene. One of club culture's leading players, Simon Armitage (know as Barnsley), had made up a set of smiley T shirts which were sold through the Duffer, whose co-founder Eddie Prendergast boasted. "The whole 70s thing - we're probably responsible for that......."

well there you go i stand corrected!

Homos eh? Haven't heard that in a while, not since some well adjusted guy in his 60's was complaining about two neighbors who were "Homo's".
