Tommy's Terrible Trousers

Do these pants look familiar? It seems Tommy Hilfiger's latest suit was inspired by...

Michael Keaton? Tim Burton?

 

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Forget Lydia Deetz and go haunt Mr. Hilfiger for awhile.

I think this is the perfect opportunity for a contest. 

Come up with a funny caption for the photos above. Post that caption and your email address in the Comments section, and the author of the funniest one will receive two ties from my personal collection. You have until Wednesday at 11:00PM (Eastern).

PS: Raunchiness is encouraged. Your line should be befitting of the Ghost with the Most.

At Home with the Hilfigers

The Hilfiger house should be condemned. 

Hey, Tommy, what's so preppy about a girl in a bikini and ski goggles?

Not that I'm complaining, exactly... but not a [place expletive here] thing!

Meet the Hilfigers and Run

With each new season's ad campaign, I ask myself why Phillips-Van Heusen just had to save the failing Tommy Hilfiger brand. Recently watching the new fall video, I felt ever so compelled to highlight several of the preppy-mansion-party-people.

A few of my least favorite buzz words come to mind.


Max - Authentic is everyone's least favorite frat boy looking stoned with with sloppy hair and ski goggles. Oh, and the ascot. Right.



Francis - Iconic in that sexually ambiguous hair cut. Maybe Max should lend this guy his facial hair.  Just below is Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas. Separated at birth? Hmm.

Luis - Tradition shines forth from another ski bum toting the whole late 90's ski goggles and fuzzy hair thing. Who knew Tommy Hilfiger drew inspiration from Seth Green? 

Emily - Heritage on cue from Annie Hall. Well, close enough.

Yes, I realize Ralphie uses these buzz words all the time and to his brand I hold great loyalty, but still I despise the grossly overused verbiage. If you're going to put an emphasis on WASP/prep/trad/whatever life, stay away from all this frat boy/beatnik/ski bum/hipster shit stuff. No, no, shit is more appropriate.
