If that’s true, you are fucking lucky. They make the most low quality, plain type of everything - t-shirts, plain a-line dresses, tights, and they don’t even hem a god damn thing. It’s shoddy.

And that’s the worst part for me: nobody went “crazy.” The people of Germany didn’t have a collective psychological episode where they blacked out and woke up to find that, with the connivance of large segments of almost every other European country, they’d somehow slaughtered millions of innocent people.

I hated that company so much for taking a good concept - quality, affordable, responsible clothing - and making it impossible to support it with its blatant sexism and racism and, we eventually learned, with Charney’s egregious behavior.

I don’t know how universal this was, but I knew a lot of staff in the hottest part of AA’s heyday in a few Canadian cities and those stores bled money on theft also. There was a line in the employee handbook/training that said that floor staff were required to wear AA ‘by any means necessary’, or something to that…

Of course he had surprisingly a lot of women in high ranking positions - all the better as a cover for sexual harassment. Victim’s self-doubt or friend: “oh he totally didn’t mean anything by that, he has all those female executives”. And Dov himself, “see, I respect women, if I didn’t respect women would I have them…

Totally agree. And I can’t tell you how many people said to me at some point, “oh, I’d love to buy American made clothing, but Dov Charney creeps me out”. Literally in the dozens. I’m sure the company would have been much more viable with someone in charge that didn’t have such a gross vibe (not to mention the…

It’s really a shame that the guy doing it had to be a sexual predator obsessed with being one of the cool kids. Because nothing that took the company down had anything to do with its manufacturing and structure, aside from the fact that AA stores apparently had terrible inventory control because Charney thought…

I know it’s fairly common for an abusive parent to single out one child but how horrible for all the children involved. I hope all 3 are getting the psychological care they need to process this ugliness. I’m side eyeing the father a lot here. A 12 year old doesn’t get down to the weight of a 2 year old overnight. My 3…

I feel like we have decades of research demonstrating that AT BEST physical punishments are no more effective than alternatives and are associated with troubling outcomes. You’re essentially teaching a child when someone smaller and weaker does things they don’t like, that a physical reaction is appropriate.

I feared my father until the day he died; his “whoopings” were that brutal. I guess that’s the point. It was so commonplace and normal when I was coming up, but if I have kids, I can’t see myself hitting (spanking) them. It feels morally bankrupt if you are trying to teach them positive values and respect for others.

Yet if you did the same thing to an adult, it would be assault.

10,000 mcg can be too much for some people. Biotin is not without side effects! I would caution against starting that high.

JK Rowling took her country’s safety net and gave us Harry Potter. That is a more than fair trade any day.

Honestly, my trouble in life is forgetting moments. When you are a slightly anxious person, you don’t want to read that stuff later. Soooooo embarassing.

I mostly keep a diary to let out the things that make me angry. Nothing “amazing” in there LOL

my dad buys my mom a journal for christmas every year. i mean, this man spends HOURS driving to different stores to find the perfect one. she mostly writes little blurbs, like “1/11/2017: rainy and foggy, i had the day off and [husband] is working in the basement. we are having dinner with marvin and marilyn tonight.”…

There was so much Dorit bullshit last night so it’s excusable but you failed to mention that within that conversation about how a record gets made Dorit treated Erika as if she is some sort of dilettante, calling her music career a hobby. This woman with seemingly no accomplishments, no job and 5 nannies completely…

Agreed!

I believe they are fairly common and nothing to be ashamed of. It’d be one thing if she was over the top worried but I can’t shake the feeling that it is completely because she’s on the show being filmed. Like my daughter had a big strawberry birthmark on her forehead just above her hairline. So many people acted like…

That’s exactly what I thought. It’s a show about people who should be embarrassed but, are not. I’m going to hate watch the hell out of this.
