As if an entire block of Christian Audigier properties and a giant LCD billboard advertising the same weren't enough for poor Melrose Avenue, the street now must lay claim to even more skulls and flames.

A new Ed Hardy Outlet has just opened at the corner of Melrose and N. Kings Road, promising a vast array of tattoo print sweatsuits and trucker hats at 50-70% off. Somehow, we have a hard time believing that Alexander McQueen, whose LA flagship is just next door, would approve.
