Celebrating 50 years of Los Angeles' most popular fashion: Douchebag Casual

LOS ANGELES, CA - Many years ago, the fashionistas that inhabit the Hollywood Hills, which is not just the highest point in the country, but literally the Mt. Olympus on which the world's Fashion Gods are perched (hence, Olympic Blvd), saw fit to bestow upon the common man a fashion gift that would define the City of Angels, and influence the world: a high-priced sport jacket worn over a thrift-store shirt and jeans, better known as the incomparable Douchebag Casual.
     Originated in the mid-century shag phase, this mosaic of clothing has only become better and more adopted throughout the decades, evolving and penetrating into the business-class stratosphere of Los Angeles culture.  Appropriately becoming a sort of city-wide fashion mascot, no other style better reflects the Los Angeles mentality: a fake, pretty, glossy exterior that covers up a heaping pile of garbage.
     A special fashion event will be held this Saturday, Downtown, two blocks south of Skid Row.  Dresscode:  Douchebag Casual.
