$\"topshop-coat-is-killing-it\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

It has now been confirmed that this jacket from Topshop is killing it. That means you can look forward to a slew of fashion bloggers modeling this item with hands-to-face. \u00a0 Too bad if you don’t like money fur or even fake monkey fur. \u00a0 Girls will be stampeding to get at this jacket. Stand back!<\/p>\n

Now, how do you feel about the word “drop<\/strong>” when used in this context? \u00a0 I personally cannot stand it, but it’s usage is increasing by the minute. I didn’t like it when new records were about to drop, and I like it even less with fashion. \u00a0 The word “drop” is just wrong, unless a stork drops the records or jackets like a new baby. \u00a0 Drop is better when preceding the word “dead.” \u00a0 Why can’t we just say “it arrives on August 28” instead of “it drops?”<\/p>\n

I chose August 28 because it’s my birthday! Yay for me! \u00a0 If you want to make me happy, you can help me compile a decent Hit List . \u00a0 I’m deferring to those who inexplicably don’t want to kill Bono, so I’ll be starting off with Sting<\/strong>, Ben Stiller<\/strong>, and Lou Dobbs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here’s an appealing version of the It Jacket, by surrealist photographer Madame Peripetie<\/a>, who has a masters degree in Applied Linguistics. I have to think she doesn’t like “drop” either.<\/p>\n
