I awoke at crack of dawn this am due to my landlord stomping around on the roof looking for leaks that recently made puddles in my bedroom. Having nothing better to do besides wait around in my fleece fuzzy pajamas that say "Joy" and "Merry" (which I am not at this hour) I decided to get a jump start on the blogging.
I checked the WWD Morning Report for juicy tidbits to cast my snark or my oh so important approval upon. I came across an article about another clothing company cashing in on the fame of the Beatles. This time its John Lennon. Meh. It happens all the time. Its not so interesting, right?
But, then I read to the end of the story and I see this: "Rock and Roll Religion has made several celebrity-related fashion deals in the past year. The company launched men’s lines with musician Scott Weiland and actor Charlie Sheen."
What? Back dat ass up! Okay, the Scott Wieland connection is a little weird, but Charlie Sheen?
I'm sure you've heard by now that the Sheen-man spent Christmas in the slammer on charges domestic violence. So how timely is it that I've stumbled upon his clothing line called "DaVinci Collection?"
Charlie Sheen Arrested In Aspen
The line is a collaboration with Rock and Roll Religion's head designer Christopher Wicks and features a collection of those fugly button down patterned bowling shirts Charlie wears all the time.
Says Wicks of Sheen's shirts: “The style is influenced by the martini lounges, pool halls and bowling alleys of the era [50's]. It is nostalgic, yet chic without trying too hard. I think he encompasses that aura and will bring a lot to the design table.”
Isn't this the same man that wears cross trainers and a paired down derivative of the Hawaiian shirt? When it comes to style he's about as chic as the menswear at a Big Lots in an Alabama shopping center.
Though, it does make sense if you ponder it for a moment. Designing the same shirt over and over with only a slight change is sort of like his like watching the actor's heinous show "Two and a Half Men."
The duo of Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen living as single, available men is like one of those "would you rather" scenarios. If you're unfamiliar, its when one person gives another person two options, each as bad as the other and made to choose. Example: Would you rather eat a steaming dog sh*t sandwich or watch "Two and a Half Men" for 24 hours straight? If you had to sleep with Jon Cryer or Charlie Sheen...you get my point. (Though, as far as I know, Duckie wont beat on you)
I think Sheen needs to stop associating himself with martini bars, wine bars, pubs, pool halls, anywhere alcohol is served in general, drug dealers... The only thing Sheen is bringing to the "design" table is a punch in your face after an 8 ball and Beefeaters --and all because the little olives printed on the shirt aren't big enough for his liking or you reminded him that it was actually Tom Hanks who starred in the "The DaVinci Code, " not him.
If you're looking for something to wear in your next mug shot, you can buy his shirts here.
At least they could airbrush out his man boob!?! Photo: Global Rebels
