OK, I'll admit I kind of liked the brand Ed Hardy when they first came out and there were just a few of his designs on boots and t-shirts. Then it was everywhere, on all kinds of shoes, handbags, jeans, scarves...and not just in department stores, I saw a huge table full of the brands goods in Costco. Then that loser dad from Kate plus 8 started wearing the stuff everywhere and that was the tipping point. Now the label is probably the cheesiest on the planet.

And apparently, I'm not alone in this opinion. Case in point, very similar Ed Hardy boots were sold last year for almost $400 and now they retail for $73. I know because I wrote a post about them. The adorable Juicy couture boots that I bought for myself are also on sale again this year, yet they are still selling for the $197 I paid for them last year.
