I'd rather have a completely bank white t-shirt for less than $20.

for those of you who want to get in on japanese fashion at the ground floor, and wear what a professional fashion model (such as myself) actually wears in the actual world, start here.

Well spoken.

The real question is: are those the kind of girls you want to be attracting....?

Ape is tired too. BBC is where its been at recently.
And everyone who is out there screaming 'conspicuious consumtion' I fail to see how spending $175 on games is much different than buying games. I spent over two bills on PS2 launch games back in 2000, and I sold all of them within 6 months, got 30 bucks back, and will never play or see those games again. That Dior scarf that I bought around the same time for roughly the same price....yeah I still rock that all the time.

I meant: I fail to see how spending $175 on games is much different than buying CLOTHES

That's ridiculous to pay $175 for 2 shirts.
I could buy >20 shirts for that amount of money.
Hell, I could buy a whole new wardrobe...

It would be so much cheaper if I just pirated games and played it on my modded systems but I don't.
Sure, you might argue that behind the discs are networks of game writers, coders, publishers ect. But its the same with fashion (maybe not with Bape- I'm not sure since I don't really like that brand per se). Behind every shirt, dress, pants is a whole history of designers, PR- Marketers, models, publicist, little asian kids ect. Its a whole different world that isn't at all that different.

Step one: Buy $7 plain white work shirt.
Step two: Pull the design into PS and then print it.
Step three: Go to any nearby shop that puts images on shirts, or if you have access to a vinyl printer/cutter do that.
Step four: Put on your shirt that didn't cost you shit by comparison.
Step five: Take remaining case and blow it on some games, or for you more stylish folks, a cheap strip joint and a few lines of blow.

Exactly what I was thinking. Anybody with half a brain could make this exact shirt for dirt cheap...but then again the people buying these items probably don't even have half a brain.

Though now I can't buy anything since money isn't worth shit now.

Then again, I was the guy back in high school who was an "individual" because I'd rather take $10 and get an entire wardrobe at Salvation Army or Good Will then spen $50 on a shirt made to look like it was washed 8,000 times... with rocks in it... and a gallon of bleach.
Weird guys like us will just have to suffer in unfashionable hell like the mouth-breathing troggs we are, eh?
@NeVeRMoRe666: Nothing like snorting a line off of Peach's ass ;)

I swear, you could put a designer label on a bottle of hobo piss and sell it for thousands.
