Little Lord Fauntleroy
Pictured here is eight-year-old Arlo Weiner — son of “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner — who gets his own little fashion profile in this month’s GQ. It is, in a word, awful. Here’s how Arlo describes the above outfits — and keep in mind, HE’S EIGHT YEARS OLD.
“This is my Valentine’s Day outfit. The jacket and the pants are velvet. I love the tie because it’s really two ties stacked on top of each other.”
“My mom got the jacket for me—I love it because I love Frank Sinatra and this is like something he would wear. I wore the jacket with the pants because I like the different plaids together. I thought the blue in the necklace brought out the blue in the pants.”
“I have a lot of black outfits these days, so I needed the red ascot to add some color… I’ve worn this to school about 12 times.”
“This is my favorite outfit. The tie is a regular tie, but I tied it like that because I’ve seen it done that way in old English movies. Even though the tie and the jacket are different colors, they’re both striped, so I thought they looked right together.”
I don’t have any trouble making fun of kids, even though I appreciate kids who embrace individualism. But damn, don’t let your third-grader be a foppish dandy. Little boys are supposed to like dinosaurs, ninjas, explosions, and beating up girls, not pretending they're an extra in a musical. $50 to any nine-year-old who kicks this pompous little snob's ass on the playground. And five bucks extra for every dodgeball that hits him in the face. With a name like Arlo Weiner, this kid can only become a grade-A dickbag as he gets older...every skinned knee, rejected grade school crush, and spilt tray in the cafeteria will be deserved.

I'll try not to like Mad Men any less, but this ain't helping. The more i think about it though, why get mad at the kid? First there's mom/dad to hate on bigtime for somehow connecting their kid to a magazine article, then there is every one else in the chain of how this happened, publicists/agents, editors...just stop people, think about the importance of this in the scheme of things. This is one kid. There must be far more interesting kids in the world to put in your rag.
