Tuxedo Touches Give Skinny Jeans a Fresh Spin (?)
October 17th, 2006 by kilwag
Yeah, I don’t know what the hell that means either, but it’s a direct quote from the November issue of Teen Vogue, which has a crush on skateboarders. They’re so dreamy, you know?
Two instances of skateboarding in Teen Vogue’s November 2006 issue. First we’ve got a fashion spread with a puzzling tip for skinny jeans. Skateboarders wear skinny jeans, so they shot it at Owl’s Head skatepark in Brooklyn NY, and they even mention it in the spread. It doesn’t look nearly so cheery on Concrete Disciples.
Next we have teen athlete and sponsored skateboarder Alexis Schempp who is reportedly 13 years old. I want to preface this next comment with a disclaimer. I don’t mean this in a pervy sort of way, but she doesn’t look 13. It’s like they pasted a woman’s head on a teenager. Hmm. Schempp? I’m sure she never hears any Three Stooges jokes.
Hey. It’s Kirsten Dunst. I hear she rules in Marie Antoinette. Wow, I need to study up on the layering effect of minis, shorts, boots and tights. How did they know?

The way alexis stands on her deck, isn’t that the official “i can’t skate, but i like to pretend” stance?

Wait a minute, are you doubting the journalistic integrity of Teen Vogue magazine? Well that takes some nerve!
I gotta give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe because my first skateboard was actually my mother’s too. It’s true!

It would be out of the question for them to actually put a picture of her skating… This has many levels of irritation.
October 18th, 2006 at 12:19 pm
Yeah, it’s typical, but then they couldn’t show her all made up. At least they showed her. I don’t know that the Teen Vogue has much of a crossover with girls that actually skate.

Jon Benet Ramsey was actually an adult midget undercover for the FBI in the bible belt. Probably assasinated by religious-right deathsquads. Another example of supposed children made up like painted hussies.

Alexis Schempp apparently is a real skater. well, a real street skater anyway. But still cute as a button!
October 19th, 2006 at 10:59 am
But still cute as a button! … as her grandmother would say. I’ll bet she loves that.
Maybe she’ll read this and we can get an interview out of her.

November 2nd, 2006 at 3:11 pm
i meant why is everyone hating on her? my bad..
November 2nd, 2006 at 3:37 pm
We’re not hating on her. We’re dissing the editorial choices made by the magazine. In fact we’re hoping she contacts us for an interview.
November 3rd, 2006 at 7:36 pm
All of you need to SHUT-UP thats like my best friend i actually know her unlike you guys who know nothing about her
ok♥

Oh my god! Like, you need to, like actually like read the post. Then you’ll like totally fer sure realize we’re not like making fun of her at all.
November 14th, 2006 at 1:13 am
Google her and you’ll see Alexis has been skating for some time and doing well. – Ari Macropolis also shot the photo – Skate history right there.
November 14th, 2006 at 2:04 pm
People! We’ve already established that she actually skates. What we are making fun of is the editorial decisions made by Teen Vogue magazine, and not Alexis Schempp. Alexis… still waiting to hear from you directly!

April 6th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
Kieran, don’t be a putz. Nobody said she couldn’t skate. In fact everyone is saying she can.
April 7th, 2007 at 12:38 am
kilwag, why argue wth the mentally challenged?
April 8th, 2007 at 12:15 am
Too many words. If we wanted to read, we’d go to the library.
May 17th, 2007 at 10:08 pm

September 21st, 2007 at 7:53 pm
why are people sticking up for someone who isn’t being made fun of?
oh yeah, because our educational system is failing miserably.
November 21st, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Alexis is the real deal. Make no mistake. I have seen her skate from day one. She has a good work ethic and will continue to thrive in the sport. Skater girl indeed.

May 12th, 2008 at 7:08 am
Girl skaters rock; it takes alot of time and commitment to get good at skateboarding…BUT…lets not start with the whole ” u r not even sponsurd” garbage. i know some peopel who have been skating for years, and are able to do everything from handrails to handplants but they will never land a sponser because of job, school, location, etc. No offense to Alexis, but if she wants to come to Okinawa I will totally take her up on the game of S-K-A-T-E challenge. How’s mini-ramp sound? Paper, scissors, rock for trick set. You down?
June 2nd, 2008 at 1:16 pm

Lulu, Shut the fuck up and take your stupid ass back to elementary school and learn how to fucking spell……

This thread still cracks me up for the simple fact that my parody of these retards was completely lost on them.
I blatently mocked them and not a one picked up on it, in fact NEW RETARDS are still posting the same incoherent babble.
Great.Our future genre of skaters comes complete with a teenage lobotomy, fuckin brats. c u latr, sk8tr kids
