I'm not bitter

I'm sure I am not the only one who has noticed the Mr. Men trend. They're very 80's which I of course love, and I have the Stubborn one because, well, I am. But now Junkfood is starting to butcher the look! It's too, I dunno how to say this, modern. The brand is taking it too far I guess. But I'm getting very bugged. They're starting to pop up on hoodies and yoga pants, and now panties?!?! It must stop! Roger Hargreaves, author of the Mr. Men books (yes, they were books first) in case you are too lazy to google it, must be ashamed of these wretched creations.

So I love the simple text and picture shirt, but these must die.

Great pick-up lines:
^What is wrong with Ms. Bad's funky expression???
Unnecessary designs and/or text:

^I could picture this at Limited Too. BFF!^I really hope this wasn't an attempt to mix Mr. Men (80's) with The Beatles (60's).... ^Rinestones. I can only ask WHY????^It's back and it's on a hoodie

Pants!!!:

^Here comes regret.

^Back of a pair of pants. She's on your butt.^Now she's near your crotch.

Now she's ON your crotch:
^Magic in your panties?
^If you scroll up there is a pair of pants where Ms. Chatterbox is on the butt. Kinda funny.

Here, I'll refresh your brain with something sensible:

Bleh, that is pretty bad. I remember reading the books when I was little! I don't want them to be corrupted by mindless bubble-headed consumers!

You are right - the embellishment is totally out of hand. K

I know exactly how you feel about those shirts. A while ago, when people first started wearing them, there was that cute irony but now that *everyone's* wearing them, they're just trying too hard.

WendyB said...

I just feel like stabbing people when I see adults wearing these. The irony was over about five years ago. Move on!

I kind of hate any slogan tee that discusses being attractive, looking for someone, or anything of that nature. 'too hot to handle,' 'i love my boyfriend,' or 'you don't have a chance' shirts are all so silly.

Shes Dressing Up said...

Oh no, designs on gym pants are never a good way to go, especially these!!

Elisa Kwon said...

ew, the pants are (for lack of better word) "ew" :(

Richel said...

I've never had a mr.men shirt, but I've seen so many people wearing them lately! mass-production deters me from wearing a certain item of clothing, don't you agree?

Grace. said...

I would find it a little disturbing to have a little man on my crotch.

These are wretched though, I agree.
