Some people  will actually use perfectly good money to buy jeans that have been ripped in advance, aka "distressed". These Armani jeans are $305. The only thing that is truly distressed in this situation is the sanity of the buyer. If you truly want your jeans to have that "lived in" look, then you can buy jeans and  live in them. If, for some strange reason, you can't manage this, then go to your local GoodWill shop and buy some used jeans. Or send your jeans to Attitude Media, with a check for $200, and we'll rip some holes in them. Lots of options here folks.

This young woman in a Chicago fast food joint is color coordinated head to foot, from shoes to shades. Is it our favorite look? No, but we love the fact that she made an effort, even if she's dining alone at Chez Macs. 

Showing just the sort of lack of editorial integrity for which we skewer other publications in our Media Notes section, we'll use this area to promote Attitude Media tee shirts. Mother would be so ashamed.

We're willing to accept as a token of affection from our humble readers this car, which we spotted in the Potzdammer Platz neighborhood of Berlin. Is it subtle? No. Is it ostentatious? Yes. Still lovely. But only if driven by a 92 year old bon vivant. Not if driven by the 27 year old spending his father's pawn shop inheritance.

Is anyone really so stupid as to pay $3200 for a backpack? We're not generally socialists here at AM, but if the rich are going to spend it this way maybe eating them is not such a bad idea.

This necklace looks just as cool today as it did when it was made in India in the early 20th century

Driving a motorcyle in Manhattan? Not for the faint of heart.  But leaving this cool bike parked in Bryant Park? Sure, a working work of art in a city full of art.

This is not the beginning of a bad hair day.  This is the beginning of the end.

Fur on men is always dicey. If he's a trapper in Alaska, maybe. If he's a rapper in a city, no.

There is no need for commentary here. Just don't do this. We don't care who you are. Don't do it.
