in poor taste

I'm sure they they thought of combining the likeness of Barak Obama and Abraham Lincoln it seemed like a good idea for a tee shirt.  Alas, anybody who knows the legacy of old "honest abe" would see how this is problematic this is.  Maybe I'm thinking too much about this, maybe they purpose is some irony.  But, if the purpose is to liken one to the other... its like combining Bill O'Reilly and Lupe Fiasco. If you don't get it...do the knowledge, starting here

RIP

Yves Saint Laurent stands outside his ready-to-wear boutique on Bond Street in London in 1969.

Today the fashion world lost one of its finest.  Designer Yves Saint Laurent passed away today at age 71 at his home in Paris.  If you don't know, this man revolutionized women's pants proving that they could be sexy.  For 50 years this man was one of the best designers in the world and anyone who claims to be familiar with fashion should have at least one YSL piece in their closet...


His presence in the fashion industry will certainly be missed
