DBAG 101

Ya'll, do you know what i is not feeling? Douchebags. Oh, don't play like that. If you're living in the 21 century and young, then you would be fully aware of these folks, but if not i've come to help a "brotha" out, and have concocted a wonderful list of the things that make a DB man.




These db men know how to have fun.

(no specific order YO)

1. spikes up hair (frosted tips is a plus)
2. wears db brands "Ed Hardy", "J.Lindeberg".. and the like
3. a frat boy
4. when out of school, he still behaves as a frat boy by doing frat boy activities
5. for fun, he enjoys making fun of the althipsters, altmusic, altshows, altclothing, and altbars
6. only dates sorority girls (see #3)
7. knows what the terms alpha, beta, meta, theta, mean..
8. on a weekly basis goes to the following bars/clubs: oil city, the ranch, iHO aka iron horse, empire, hudsons, the globe, ... etc.
9. on a weekly basis enjoys letting everyone know how much he hates the "skinny jean" and believes any man who does is "gay"
10. hates when girls wear skinny jeans
11. listens to techno/trance/top 40 hits. ONLY.
12. owns a sports car
13. if he does not own a sports car, his room is covered with sports car posters and owns a kabillion sports car magazines
14. will question you if you do not own/wear "Ed Hardy" and the like
15. lives for pub crawls
16. in high school joined the cheer team because they thought they could "get girls" or better yet, "get laid"
17. three things matter: beer, partying, and sex.
18. plays hockey or american football
19. has an extensive collection of polos in every color and preferably striped
20. has at least one photo on their facebook and/or myspace page of them shirtless
21. lastly, a real db man tans




I have often wondered whether as a child, did these future dbags know that they would someday grow up to be dbags of the world. Better yet, did their parents know that they would be the proud parents of dbags. Or is that maybe it is the parents fault.. by dressing them in future dbag attire. Is being a "douchebag" an act of peer pressure as smoking or alcoholism would be?
Do db bros have stereotypical names like Ryan, Joe, Brody, Nick, Bryan, .. etc.

What do you think about dbags or the dbag look for that matter?

You Wanna Be Startin' Something... You Better Be Starting Somethin'

I'm about to say something, ya'll: I'm a lady and i'll like to remain a lady.

You know what? Its about time this god damn city has its own Street fashion blog. I'm not talking about some obscure one where only a selective group, or lets say your friends, follow, i'm talking about the big kahuna. The blog that can affliate itself with the other big street fashion blogs of the world (street peeper, glam canyon, facehunter.. etc etc). Edmonton needs some love too, and as the capital of the province, we are ignored for our neighbouring city Calgary. Don't get me wrong, Edmonton has good things going but in comparison, it's Calgary "where the party's at". So, lets just think of it this way; by creating a blog - a fashion blog that is - Edmonton can finally get the attention it deserves.



These kids are Edmontonions.

Why hasn't anyone made a blog yet about our street fashion? Is it that we are not worthy enough to make these kinds of blogs just because its "Edmonton", and because the big cities think of us as just"plain ol' town folks". Well, my folks im about to change that. I see plenty of good candidates that can occupy my blog usage space. We need to show our fellow competing cities that we edmontionions are fashion conscience as any well damn city in the world.

So rise up, and drink, roll yourself a doobie, or whatever it is you cool kids do, and lets get this fashion blogging started!


Ya'll, do you know where i can get a good camera for inexpensive prices?
Mine broke.

These folks know how to dress.
