There is more Barack-fashion related talk on the blogosphere today as Obama's jeans come under scrutiny. Earlier spotted wearing what are known as "mom jeans" in the good ol' US of A, Barack has apparently upgraded to a trendier set of darker jeans after reporting "I got a hard time from all sorts of blogs who said I looked like Urkel." Urkel indeed. This blog prefers him in the not-so-trendy helmet/old bike/old jeans/old sneaks look... I guess it makes him look more personable and corny-dad-like.
Meanwhile there has been a ridiculous amount of merchandise released with the focus being the candidates, their VPs and pretty much anyone related to the campaign. Anyone. This website is keeping track of their sales and released products as a sort of pseudo-consumerist poll gauging consumer interest in the candidates. Needless to say Obama is streets ahead as consumers are gripped by Obamamania. Obama products account for almost 50% of weekly sales, McCain is sitting at just under 20% by comparison.Labels: fashion, US Elections 2008
