I often say that Urban Outfitters is less a retail store and more a sociological study on how much people will pay to look like they are trying too hard. I do pop into our local U.O. every once in a while looking (I am sure) like someone's mom who just drove in from the burbs in her "swagger wagon". All the 18 year olds working there are SO SERIOUS and full of faux angst. It kills me. So, today you get a visual aid of some of the latest and greatest from Urban Outfitters.
p.s. I would really like to sit in on the design meeting where someone says "yes, I love the kitty cat on the mens sweatshirt, such a great look, lets sell it". I have a vague feeling that the meeting goes more like this - "kitty cat on a mens sweat shirt, that is the ugliest thing ever, lets see if people are dumb enough to buy it". Yes, for the record, they do have some normal looking things but those seem to be the exception and not the rule at UO.
