A follow-up to last week's post on the pink collar pop. After a Burritoville sighting, a few comments, then a "Comment of the Week" post, we were debating the age-old question: "If someone is walking the Upper East Side with his collar popped on his pink Izod, does that make him a douchebag?" I don't qualify as an expert, so I checked in with the brains behind hotchickswithdouchebags, DB1, who answered an inquiry from me to settle the score once and for all. DB1, if you will?
From hotchickswithdouchebags, via the "Ask DB1" post:
"The Pink I-Zod (and its compatriot, The Pink Polo) does not in and of itself confer inherent douche status, but it is a warning sign of potential douchebaggery. Like the growl of the Amur Tiger of Uttar Pradesh or a hooker named Candii saying "Hi!" it presages potential disaster if you make the wrong choice.
Any popped collar, on the other hand, confers auto stage-1 douche status
Without exception.
And Pink I-Zod Popped Collar reverberates across the douchological spectrum exponentially, scaring old ladies, causing milk to go bad and punching a really, really cute possum in the face."
Probably you will look like a douchbag. But if you like your Pink I-Zod and you don't mind that everybody think that you are a douchbag. You can wear it without any problem.

There has been a huge invasion of the pink popped collar here on the west coast. Apparently, it isn't solely a problem on the UES, but a huge infestation in the Marina of San Francisco. Is there some type of pesticide we can use to rid ourselves of this problem?

They have a place for this douchebaggery on the UES... it's called Dorian's, and you are all invited.

By your estimates - I'm a certified douchebag. I would like to thank you for emphasizing the douchbagginess associated with popped collars and hope this keeps my millions upon millions of emulators at bay, so that I alone may continue (although, I don't know exactly if/when it was ever *trendy*) popping my collar. Also, just to beat you to it - I have started the hetero male in Crocs with socks (shorts and hoodie) combination to overtake the socks and sandals epidemic. Thank you for your eyes and ears - you may return to envying me... Seriously.
