Target offering David Bowie-inspired clothes for men
The universe has apparently decided to answer the question of whether I could possibly love Target any more by having the store offer a line of David Bowie inspired clothing.
My first thought was, of course, that trying to sell some of David Bowie's looks could be difficult...
But the stuff they've gone with is largely from his Berlin period, "The Man Who Fell to Earth" and his later period, "I dress this way because I'm married to an International Supermodel" look.
Pitchfork media jokes that this is "a far better idea than a Low/Heroes/Lodger inspired line of coke-straws."
On the whole, the clothes really look good. This trench coat may have to come home with me...
Bowie won't be the first artist of his generation to sell clothes at a department store -- some years ago Brian Ferry of Roxy Music was the spokesperson for Marks & Spencer's "Autograph" line of clothing (a job that seems to have been disappointingly taken up by Take That). But he was savvy enough to get his music marketed alongside the clothes in Target stores.
You freaky old bastard, you...

I might have to beat you to that coat.
Also, everything else.
It's like Target called me and asked for my wallet.

If you like Target so much, why not work there for $7/hr. Level One employees are ineligible for promotions. Executives (MGT.) must have four year degrees. WAL-MART with Urban Outfitters marketing team. Disappointed in billionaire Bowie. Those clothes just scream average and emo anyway. BRING BACK THE UNIONS! BOYCOTT THE CORPORATE PARASITE PYRAMID SCHEME!
Don't shop at this trendy big box if you have any sympathy for the working poor.
