Vans Warped Tour: The Fashion Diary
If you were looking for the Warped fashion trends of '08, this girl pretty much sums it up: Bright neon on the T-shirt and super-short gym shorts. Colorful sunglasses would have sent her over the top. Those were out en masse, too.
I set forth, though, on a mission to find some of the more individual Warped Tour fashion statements. My findings are below.
The Katy Perry
The Jason Voorhees: When 100 degrees isn't punishing enough
The Michael Phelps: Bizarro edition
The Mark Spitz: Still a winner in my book
The Just Got Off Work and Ready to Party
The Joe Francis: Skeezy, yet bro-ish and beachy
The MC Hammer: Aka the best shorts I had seen all day
MC Hammer Pt. 2: The remix for all the guys that said "ewww" to the last picture. That's Charlotte Sometimes, fellas.
The Michael Scott: New winner of the best shorts I had seen ... ever
Comments:
The I heart sluts guy is my fave. So oblivious to his own douchebaggery (thanks, Heather)! Hahaha...thanks for the chuckle, Oz. For a second I thought that actually WAS Katy.

I have to add...the just off work guy is pretty amusing. Where are there even offices around campus? Also, how can I actually get one of those I heart sluts stickers??? hahaha

katy perry looks like a deliciously brolic betty boop, the off-work guy is actaully jack baur , on a most sensitive surveillance job to pinpoint a dangerous hipster cell operating under the guise of the warped tour, putting himself in imminent danger. My personal favorite is the mark spitz I am jealous of the stache

You know that could be Jack Bauer as off-work guy. During season 2 they had to go to Visalia due to it being a terrorist hotspot.

Katy Perry could be Nina Meyers.

No kidding. With that last pic of her on your post she looks like she's ready to kill anyone who opposes her.

The off-work guy looks more like pedophile-guy.

Kinda sad that Warped Tour has degenerated to this.
Katy Perry and fashion reports?
I am so glad I didn't go.
Mike, I have been a loyal reader of your columns for years. I figured you could have found something better to write about than this. . .

Clinton and Stacey from TLC's "What Not to Wear" would have a heart attack if they witnessed these fashion faux pas. I have officially (and publicly) lost my Man Card.
Nick Arrojo could fix Mark Spitz hair and Carmendie needs to help the Katy Perry look-a-like with her makeup.
On appeal: Man Card still suspended...

John:
First off, I appreciate that you dig what I do.
Second, whether you like Katy or not (I don't), she was the star of the show. She was hand-picked by Kevin Lyman to be on the festival before she blew up and got big. And festival attendance was way up this year and she brought out a different crowd. I can't just ignore the person who had the No. 1 single in the country seven weeks in a row, can I? I mean, we are a newspaper -- keyword being "news" and she's certainly a person in the news as of late.
Whether or not, you think she fits into the Warped Tour, that's a whole 'nother issue. But she's certainly newsworthy.
As for this post, this just a silly second-day thing. I did a bunch of other Warped stuff. I just thought some of these pictures were funny.
