The clothing designer’s hiring policy for his brand-new store, located in the former location of CBGB, is allegedly trying to keep the space true to its roots: “All the staff they’re hiring for the store are musicians in their other lives… He’s really trying to keep the space about music.” Why do I have the feeling “musicians in their other lives” is code for “looks like a not-as-well-nourished Julian Casablancas?” Oh, if only G.G. Allin was still around to put in an application. [Gatecrasher / Pic via Racked]

I dressed exactly like Minnie Pearl for my interview and they still wouldn’t hire me. Posers.
“Here, lady–I made this shoe special for you. It’s a POOP SHOE.”
I was in there on Saturday, and I’d say the sales assistants all looked like rocker types, but the people behind the counter looked very fashion-industry high-end. There’s something about pictures of people like Joe Strummer, etc, juxtaposed with a $2000 leather jacket that makes me want to vomit. $185 first-pressing punk rock albums, $200 picture discs…I don’t know. The whole thing has so much potential, but it all reeks of purchased credibility.
Do not invoke the name of GG or he may materialize and everyone in the whole world will be sorry except me because I kinda wanted to see him before he died even though he always promised he’d commit suicide on stage but never did the pansy.
