They were all strongly gendered. All the girls' shoes included a lot of pink; almost all the boys' shoes had skulls. So did some of the socks; and, naturally, almost all the tee-shirts elsewhere. Also, most of the skulls were accompanied by daggers or revolvers.<br /><br />This strikes me as somewhat inappropriate for small children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-8665242303541156852010-07-16T13:37:01.081-04:002010-07-16T13:37:01.081-04:00UPDATE: My dad loves him some garage sales.

This morning we had breakfast and he was wearing a baseball cap he picked up at a garage sale with a winged logo, fleur de lis and hard to read text asymmetrically placed on the front of the cap.<br /><br />Maybe if 80 year old guys wear this, the young people will stop thinking it's cool.

However, they're still clogging up the shops and I'm still seeing them every day, so evidence suggests that they are still, in fact, trendy.
