Clown Baby started a Clothing Line...

I'm not entirely sure when anyone started to look to clowns for fashion inspiration, but it's been happening for  years. One could write an entire thesis on clown influence in fashion and you wouldn't even have to include Lady Gaga.
This is horrifying. Look, I saw It as a kid just like everyone else and at no point did I think, "Yah know, that guys got it going on".  No! No one thought that, and that is why the above image makes absolutely no sense.  Emmett Kelly was apparently the only one truly inspired by those hobo clown statues or he has some sort of It fetish. I don't know the answer, but what I do know is that this is literally wrong. Where would I wear this to? And no, you can't answer Halloween Party, no one is allowed to use that time old scapegoat. Clothing is meant to be used in social, everyday settings. Could I wear this to beach? To the office? On a date? On a boat? Seriously Emmett, wtf man, wtf...
Speaking of wtf:
Would you hit it? You can answer honestly no one is judging you and if you said yes you're probably alone anyway. What we have above is a hot mess. Listen clowns are fun, this one isn't. He would come to your house and wait around outside on your front yard, giving your neighbors that sad face. Soon the police would show up and he'd give that exact same sad face as they drove him away. It always ends like that for clown boys doesn't it? Never a break. Maybe it's the whole can't-keep-your-shirt-on thing, I don't know, because I'm not a social scientist, what I am though is a person with eyes and this makes them happy and yet truly sad.
Next up:

I feel like a broken record here but: Where the hell would I wear this to? The hat? Can it even clear doorways? So many questions about this look that should have been addressed before it walked down the runway. Clearly Gareth Pugh is not a questions kind of guy. When he says jump you jump, don't try to be a kiss ass and ask how high. If you were to ask how high he would make you wear this. The only thing I find more upsetting than this outfit is this:



Did 'She Who is Over Exposed' really jack this ride? I mean honestly, does this not look like the cheap Miley Cyrus for Wal Mart knock off of Gareth's disasterpiece?  Not surprised, and you shouldn't be either. She Who is Over Exposed is almost more famous for her non-original original ideas as she is for her music. Team Gareth on this one.
In closing, here is the most famous clown in the world. Don't remember her name though... BoBo? Cracksie? It doesn't matter.
