I found the post! Hopefully this link works, I'm on my phone...

One of the best ways I ever saw cultural appropriation explained was a girl on Tumblr claimed she bought a band shirt because it was pretty and she had never listened to the band and didn't understand the symbolism on the shirt, she just thought it was cool. Cue a crap ton of the band's fans screaming about how dumb…

Same. And this is so true. It doesn't help that there was the HUGE kerfluffle about price changes after the old CEO came back. People pulling off tags and pitching HUGE fits. It got to the point where I literally just started sassing with a "this happened because you all want sales and coupons. Did you think they…

I just want to point out that the first time we did this was when this blog launched in 2007. The result was the Faith Hill cover of Redbook, which led to many important discussions about how and why ladymags "fix" women — a conversation that remains vital.

"Chanel's atrocious pre-fall collection, shown in Dallas last month"

We already have to bear the shame of being his country of origin!! Don't make us have to live with him as well!!! Can't we exile him to the moon or something?

That is indeed a problem. My impression was that he genuinely was trying to get Lena's take on an artistic decision and just phrased it really poorly. However, he really should be able to own up to the mistake.

And the problem in capturing the younger demographic is that there's just so much competition coming from every side.

O my. I hear you about pleasing the older folks and them not liking change. I worked at a pharmacy, so most customers were older. We changed the colors on our receipts and labels and people flipped out. So I can imagine grandma would be very angry walking into a whole revamped store.

The thing that really sucks is those Million Moms are gonna try to take credit for it.

I work at JCPenney. The turn around did not go well, frankly, because a lot of JCP's base market was old women. And even though JCP has been returning to their old style, the old ladies have been no end of ranting about how TERRIBLE JCP was during the year with the new CEO. I'm not knocking having some older styled…

I was writing my dissertation at a starbucks (as opposed to working at a starbucks, which comes after the PhD. ZING!), and the staff was super nice to the homeless folks who were sitting inside on an unseasonably chilly day in San Diego. They gave them waters and totally didn't bother them.

Was it that one on third near Union Square? Because those bastards have dashed my bathroom dreams multiple times. I think it's so so teeny (there's some law about # of chair minimum) they aren't required to offer a bathroom to patrons.

Age definitely has something to do with it, but you have to constantly work the scene. You have to hang out in Hollywood, go to all the parties, make sure you don't disappear...ever. Sandra Bullock is almost 50 and Jennifer Aniston is 45. Both are working consistently and neither ever disappears for more than a few…

Until she dresses in a Catwoman costume and crashes an audition, she hasn't hit rock bottom yet.

Oh for fucks sake. Why does anywhere decent have to be run by fucking assholes? Are we going to find out freakin Arby's is the most liberal establishment that gives money to PP and and has their own LGBT+ charity? Actually, that would be awesome, I and I guess I would eat there then. But I won't hold my breath.

Honestly, it's a huge missed opportunity. You have the perfect entrepreneurial bait, a client base who is literally already there all day without you even trying. The owners really couldn't think of a single way to commodify this? I can think of paid senior education/seminar programs and bingo right off the top of my…

If they need someone to help assist him across the border...

But McDonalds is incredibly cheap even by fast-food standards. You could get two cheeseburgers and a coffee for $3 using the dollar menu- I don't know that there's many other chains that can compete with that. Also, I think that for many people their circumstances are such that they honestly can't afford to worry…

dollar menu. some people really cannot pay for a 7-12 dollar meal per person some place else.
