Glamour Kills

Glamour Kills is like the head cheerleader of scenester clothing lines: she’s been with every dirty band dude in basically every band on Myspace, and has all the little girls want to look just like her. She started out as any other clothing line, with a hardly genius logo, and tacky, neon graphics, but it doesn’t matter, just throw JaGK Barakat on Stickam with a GK shirt on, and its sure to be a hit. Glamour Kills’ was one step ahead of the “I want to start my own clothing line” train. They were the first to throw all their shirts at scene bands everywhere, and like “ YOU WON A FREE IPOD” ads on the internet, GK was (and still is) everywhere. A few “ IM A FASHIONISTA ” prints and Warped Tours later, GK has denim (which, I’m not going to lie, looks really nice), bathing suits, a skate team, and from what I hear i s starting a record label that’s going to be a subsidiary of Atlantic, and is supposedly signing ex-Parade The Day, aka Clouds and Cities. (Not that that would really be a release to get excited about). Maybe GK maintains their status in the clothing line world because they’ve got the NY/NJ Scenester L33T crew (see: Action Item ’s Mark Shami, Dang Bang, Nicole Buckley, and All Time Low ’s merch boy Vinny Vegas) modeling their shirts, or maybe its the All Time Low studio blog, jam packed with extra hairy legs and Blink 182 covers. Whatever it is, don’t forget that Glamour Kills still has the same logo as the low carb bread at Whole Foods, and the low carb diet was a) never scene, and b) so 2003.
