“... and staying true to our core mission of protecting the environment and American jobs.”

.... Of all the crafts in the world that could be parlayed into something lucrative and taught in an apprenticeship, they picked medals. Medals? MEDALS?!? WHAT?

In other words, busywork. If you’re being  taught a skill that’s already been automated, you’re wasting your time.

Agree on BR. It’s a godsend for those of us who actually have to go to an office and dress up. I’m wearing one of their dresses now— fitted sheath dress with cap sleeves. You aren’t going to find anything like that at Old Navy. Or if you do, it will be jersey material and/or the fit will be bizarre. The clothing world…

Truly. I still generally like Banana Republic stuff for the office, but GAP stuff is mostly like, “What if Old Navy clothes were more expensive and less flattering?”

They used to have very cute staples in the late 90s and early 2000s before they decided to go balls to the wall with color. Granted, I love anything black and white with a small splash of color in more classic cuts.

I love BR; it’s a good place to get cheapish work staples that last. Heck, I have shoes from them that have lasted years through inclement weather, though I’ve had to have some of my heels reheeled.

I’ve just not been able to determine, at any point in the last 10 years, who Gap thought they were making clothes for. I still enjoy their Gap Body stuff, and when their athletic stuff is on sale I’ll take a peek, but their regular clothes are just so fucking bizarre. It’s like hey, what if we took regular t-shirts…

Its as Anne as the nose on plains face.

Egg?

Also, quite the publicist who thinks that she need to explain to Harper’s Bazaar what NYFW means.

I read your comment as Ronan Farrow and Jon Lovitz. Yikes!

“Incredibly short sighted and stupid”

While the apology is spot on (and quite good) I’m not convinced a very good publicist didn’t write it for her.

I’m going to go with the latter. Also, presenting a more genuine face to the world is probably a no go. I don’t believe for a second she’s an easy going gal who just wants to hang with her computer and her dog. Whoever the real person who’s made all these clueless, poser choices is, she’s probably not all that…

This woman has a set of Balls & Galas on her to expect us to accept this bullshit Mea Culpa.

Good gravy people when are you going to stop looking for “magic weight loss” solutions. The only way to do it is to change your eating habits and exercise. The majority of weight loss is going to come from your eating habits, loss from exercise is going to level off at a certain point.

Hot ham water.

My favorite use for this stuff is to get rid of fruit flies. Put a 1/2 inch or so in a small jar, roll up a small cone from paper that will fit in the top of the jar - keep it a couple inches up from the cider, set it out and watch those little buggers go in and be unable (too stupid?) to get out.
