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."
Comment of the Week
OlympusNYC asked in the 'Brompton Gets Its Bricks On' post:
“Any details on the building going up at 72nd and 1st?”
A few details have come out, via the company overseeing the site. The structure going up on the southeast corner of First Ave and 72nd will ultimately be an apartment building, which is being built and will be solely dedicated for the nearby hospital Sloane-Kettering. No word on whom at the hospital will be occupying spaces there, but it should be done in 2008.
