If the NYT was writing about fashion bears over a year ago, you know that the trend was over at least a few months before that. Everyone is so clearly back to waxing...

I can't wait until we start putting the bears into their proper classifications. I believe those two in the picture would be considered Grizzlies.

If they put out something on the level of Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford, or loathe as I am to say it, Marc Jacobs, I would understand, but I looked at their collection on their site, and I hate to ruin the cute and cuddly feel, but are we noticing them cause they eat more than the other designers, or cause their work is saying something about?

"Bear" is a look that's just as fussy and studied as that of any other gay subcult. That amount of schlub takes work!

In other words, you'll have to try harder before they'll recognize you as one of their own, Britney.

But, the Article That Shall Not Be Named did mention that Choire employs 5 writers...so it's obvious that there is a massive conspiracy afoot.

Or She Who Has Been Previously Posted About But Shall Be Named No More, author of The Article That Shall Not Be Named, just can't count.
