Less terrifying ways to wake up to Morrissey and Marc Jacobs this morning.
If you've ever wondered what we do, when we've got nothing better to do, here's a retro '80s way to spend the day:
This morning at 10am the presale begins to buy tickets for Morrissey at Bowery Ballroom on March 21st. Tickets are $75 and the presale should be all over by 10:01am at which time you could already have found a buyer for your pair on Craigslist for two or three times face value. Assuming you're not seeing the concert with your friends. And if you're not...You can use that money you're going to make to head down to the Louis Vuitton SoHo store which opens at 11am, transformed into some sort of Stephen Sprouse day-glo graffiti mausoleum. The new postmortem collaboration launches tomorrow with the sale of $2850 graffiti print skateboards and a limited edition of 70 rose printed tee shirts at $250 each. If you want to double-down you can then take that tee shirt home and sell it on eBay for $500.So let's say you bought four Morrissey tickets, you'll have spent $300. Sell three and you've got one ticket for yourself and at least $150 profit. Spend $500 on two shirts, keep one for yourself, sell the other for $500, and you're basically up one concert ticket, one tee shirt to wear to said concert and $150 cash all for just taking an early lunch hour. There are worse ways to spend a January morning, like waking up to Morrissey holding your baby or Marc Jacobs wanting you to check his luggage.

Such a better scene is the one above, from one of the too few contemporary Merchant-Ivory pictures, the 1989 film Slaves of New York, in which Steve Buscemi plays Sprouse. (And not once is it mentioned on the We Love Sprouse website Vuitton has up!) You can see him take the stage at the end of the fashion show in which Sprouse's clothes were used.
