Day 48, February 28, 2010

Any tribute to man's best friend is welcome, even if it's to a fictional dog. I just hope no one involved with this license plate sleeps on the roof.

Day 47, February 17, 2010

I realize that some people may interpret this as a religious license plate, but the deliberate space between the D and the GR8SON, and the common method of using an 8 to replace the letter A in vanity plates, leads me to the conclusion that this plate represents D. Grayson, or Dick Grayson, otherwise known as the sidekick to crime fighting badass, Batman. If you disagree, then you clearly aren't as big a Batman fan as you should be.

Day 46, February 26, 2010

Advertising your status as super spies seems counter-intuitive...unless the plan is to make people think you're totally not a super spy because a real super spy wouldn't advertise what he was...in which case: GENIUS.

Day 45, February 25, 2010

You don't want to be late for a date with this guy.

Day 44, February 24, 2010

I think the choice of a vanity plate inscription says a lot about the driver.



For example, this Lord of the Rings plate says, "I'm never getting laid."

Day 43, February 23, 2010

Really, who doesn't love Kermit? He is quite handsome, and charming.



But if I were the driver of this car, I'd keep one eye open at night. I hear Miss Piggy isn't afraid to throw down.

Day 42, February 22, 2010

Because there really isn't more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking.

Theme Week!

It's time for another theme week at You're So Vain, and this time the theme is:

famous fictional characters

This may include characters from movies, tv, books, whatever. The only real parameter is that they be must fictional. So on that note, let's get to it....

Day 41, February 21, 2010

The Winter Olympics are in full swing, and at the moment, USA had more medals than any other country. So let's get patriotic:


Go America!!

Day 40, February 20, 2010

...star bright, first start I see tonight.

Day 39, February 19, 2010

The weekend is here! Exclaim with joy!



Good job.

Day 38, February 18, 2010

Greetings from the country.

Day 37, February 17, 2010

What I love about this is that it's not simply the word "mama," but it's spelled out to sound the way it does coming from a whiny kid's mouth.

Day 36, February 16, 2010

Girl Power.

Day 35, February 15, 2010

work hard

Day 34, February 14, 2010

Today is Valentine's Day, and I'm sure these people are excited:


If that's a birthday, that kind of sucks. If it's an anniversary date, that's sort of sweet, but risky. That marriage ends and the holiday is ruined for life.

But today wasn't only V-Day. It was also the Daytona 500, and I can guarantee you that these people were super pysched:

Day 33, February 13, 2010

Ah, Valentine's Day weekend. When girls everywhere lament the fact that this guy:


...still hasn't shown up.

Day 32, February 12, 2010

I always thought the goal was to dream in color, to dream big.


So...way to aim low.

Day 31, February 11, 2010

Irony 201

Day 30, February 10, 2010

Irony 102

And, Rach, spare me the nay-saying. It's ironic. That's the only explanation. KThanx!

Day 29, February 9, 2010

Irony 101

Day 28, February 8, 2010

If you live in the Northern Virginia area, you're seeing nothing but this lately:

And with the forecast calling for more snow tomorrow, I guess we'd better get used to it.

Day 27, February 7, 2010

At first glance, this plate says, "If You Seek," and that could be interpreted many ways. But I don't think that's what it says. I think it's meant to be read, "IF U See K." Personally, I think that's super badass, but I still think it fairly falls into this week's theme.

Day 26, February 6, 2010

Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

Day 25, February 5, 2010

I guess I should give her credit for expressing gratitude, but when I see this plate, I just imagine the driver is a spoiled brat. Of course she would probably say I'm just a jealous bitch...so there's that.

Day 24, February 4, 2010

Ah, America, the land of tolerance. I'm just going to go ahead and make this a twofer, because these two guys should obviously be friends.

Day 23, February 3, 2010

Again, a quality I would be hesitant to advertise.

Day 22, February 2, 2010

Unless you're say, Beyonce, then you shouldn't refer to yourself as a diva, because in that context, diva usually translates roughly to "obnoxious, demanding bitch." Chances are any woman proud enough of her diva status to brag about it via license plate is insufferable. Just a guess.

Day 21, February 1, 2010

What's the only thing worse than a redneck?



A proud redneck.

Theme Week!

Guess what? It's Theme Week here at You're So Vain! I know, you can barely contain your excitement. Why have a theme in addition to the general theme of vanity license plates, you ask? Because I have two English degrees. I've spent years identifying themes. Also, I like to make my own small attempt to impose order on this world of chaos. Just go with it.

And the theme for this week is: Vaguely Offensive Plates Which Strongly Suggest the Driver is a Douchebag (or Douchebaguette)

Now, let's get this party started....
