Banana Republic Outlet Nov 19 2011

I have been a happy Banana Republic customer for many years.

Not anymore.

Why? I bought a pair of pants at their outlet store in the middle of nowhere, only to find that they were defective after wearing them once - the side stitching was falling apart.

I’ve been reading ”Goodnight Moon” to my daughter over the past year and she loves it, so instead of saying “goodbye shoes”, I have to say “goodnight shoes”!

Laundry and Clothes Lines Nov 19 2009

This article at Yahoo cracked me up.

Its about how some townsfolk and housing associations are arguing about whether or not people should be allowed to hang their clothes out to dry.

Sunglasses Sep 12 2009

Sunglasses aren’t clothes, but as accessories, they fit into the purview of this site.

I’m looking to buy some new glasses as my old ones (a pair of Polaroid sunglasses) recently broke. I wore them almost everyday for the past three years so I they were definitely worth the seventy or so dollars I spent on them. I tried to fix them with super glue, but it didn’t work. Too bad, because they fit really well and I can’t seem to find them for sale anywhere.

American Apparel Sep 7 2009

American Apparel is a clothing company based in Los Angeles, California. They pride themselves on being “sweatshop free”.

They company was founded by Dov Charney, a grandchild of immigrant grandparents. I just visited their website and a farewell letter dated September 1, 2009 from Dov to employees of American Apparel. The letter made is sound like they employed many illegal immigrants, but I’m hesitant to assume it as true. Perhaps the employees had temporary work visas which have just expired.
