Our pal Xtina, whose musings about fashion in the Mission we looked at yesterday, published an epic followup this morning, titled “classy clothes don’t make u classy”:
there was a girl at edinburgh last night wearing $600 opening ceremony shoes.
an hour later i saw same girl peeing in the garbage can in the women’s bathroom. [link]
Really needing to piss is the great leveler I guess.
UPDATE: The shoes in question.
I thought Kelly Kate was off peeing in the wilderness?
Whatevs! Allus guys peed inna trough at Candlestick, yo!
Who seriously recognizes a brand of shoes and knows the retail price? Who’s even looking at anyone’s shoes in a bar to begin with?
I look at shoes in bars all the time. I love looking at shoes. I only know the retail price for Converse All-Stars, but I imagine people that spend more time buying shoes than I do know more prices.
Not that much down with the gays, am I right?
Me. It’s not that uncommon of an interest/skill. Fun fact: all of the luxury brands (either shopping bags or merchandise in use) in Midnight In Paris were Fremch fashion houses- Dior, Chanel, Hermes, etc.

Why are you ALWAYS so cynical? I’m sure if in context you recognized some climbing harness, or some ~*~cool~*~ breed of dog, or a $75 ceramic Sutro figurine, you’d know some specifications or details about it. It’s not so hard to fathom that people have knowledge about the things that interest them.
A+

Flawless victory.
Me? Actually, I’m rarely cynical. Just genuinely surprised that people have that level of interest in shoes. Apparently SF is home to a vast underground shoe enthusiast community… you learn something new every day.
“Rarely cynical”? Nearly every comment you leave on this website is, to some extent, negative or judgmental. I wouldn’t call an interest in the fashion industry “underground”, just as I wouldn’t call Barneys, which carries Opening Ceremony, a low-traffic OR local shop. This is San Francisco, interests are not uniform & homogeneous here- how that has somehow missed your field of perception, I’m unsure.
Damn girl, you are on fire.
Updated the post with a link to the shoes in question, fyi.
THEY’RE ON SALE!! I guess that makes them $200 shoes now
Those count as “classy” shoes? I would think just the opposite.
For real. I’d be surprised if a girl wearing those shoes *wasn’t* peeing in public somewhere.
wow. those are the kind of shoes all the girls in the xvideos are wearing these days.
those shoes are hideous. peed on or not.
calamari pasta, heavy on da shrimp
Knowing a pair of $600 shoes is not much better than owning them.

Half the people i saw in france were wearing chuck taylors
