oh jesus i hate brothel creepers with a passion

I don't hate them, but I don't really "get" them, either. I think that whole wave of style came and went without my really noticing until people resurrected them for rockabilly/jive/whatever purposes.

I wore creepers in college. Ha. Can't ever imagine wearing them now and I never thought they were really all that comfortable to walk in.

i've never heard of this.

why are they called this? do they have crepe soles or are they made for stealthy movement or what?

yes it is because they are quiet in the whorehouse that is London.

Hugely trendy again in London thanks to Agy Deyn (along with big fat Docs).

I always have a pair of very tall black ones on standby.

suzy i am disappointed in you ;_;

Wait a minute Docs and Creepers are being brought back? Hmmmm. I had a massive collection of Docs at one time. I should have saved them! lol.

oh man.

If anyone wants to investigate this further (but I'm pretty sure you won't) and if I remember correctly, I got mine at Trash and Vaudeville in NY. Is that even around still?

that dress is good, that pink

xp Yep.

I saw someone wearing little white canvas sneakers like Keds that were styled like creepers, with the black piping and black weaving and black laces. I sort of liked them. Don't rly like the real thing, though. Too hard to bike in.

yeah me too! i don't have them any more. :(

trash and vaudeville will still be around after nuclear war, along with the cockroaches and keith richards.

You know, I was going to say something like that earlier. Thank you for making me laugh with a mouth full of salad.

haha, the rockabilly look is pretty "jive" imo.

plus it's another thing that will still be around post-armageddon. jesus will come back to earth with a full sleeve of tattoos, accompanied by some chick sporting bettie page-like stylee

HA. I figured as much but the last time I was there was when I bought those creepers which had to be at least 12 years ago so you never know.
