Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Can clothes be pretentious?I live in Irvine (a region of the "OC") which is kind of posh. I'm used to seeing $40 plain white T-shirts (nothing on them, not even a frickin' logo or even some rhinestones) and lately I've been seeing $100 half-jackets (if I'm going to pay that much for a jacket I want the whole thing, thank you muchly), a $3500 purse made of fur cut in a zig-zag style, and an $800 purse that had about 20 lbs of chains on it that rendered it impractical (at least to me).
PS: If anyone's seen the movie "The City of Lost Children" you'll know why I started giggling uncontrollably at the sight of half a red and blue striped sweater courtesy of Gwen Stefani. There were also clothes designed by Robert Rodriguez but I don't know if it's the same as the Sin City director or some other Rober Rodriguez
