This is some sort of sick joke, right?

Maybe they were counting on a generation unaware of craftshops or the Bedazzler?

Maybe I should get me a pair of pants with the word "Juicy" across the butt.

I thought you has lost some weight, Kevy?

Yeah, but I am still up around 235.

(And since you brought it up, I did lose 35 lbs.)

I suppose I could change my own oil too, but I'm lazy when it comes to things like that. Not sure I want to own a bedazzler either...

[Not Afraid]

No, no bedazzler here either. But, I like to buy and wear clothes out and about, not stay at home and make them and not go anywhere. Its just a matter of my own prioroties.

I'd expect to pay those kind of prices at NICE stores like Marshall Field's or Neiman Marcus for NICE clothes.

Those clothes look like the hideous things my sister has to glue together for her dance costumes every year.

[€uroMeinke]

heh heh - Nice might be one fashion statement - but Naughty often seems to win out

[Not Afraid]

I don't think the clothes are Neiman's are particularly nice actually. They're sort of boring.

See, but that's just it, there was no creativity, from my perspective. It was "photograph ironed onto t-shirt". Like I said, I can appreciate a design that took some creative power to make, even if I don't like it. But not only could I have reproduced most of these shirts at home, I could have thought of them (witness our MA shirts). And if I can think of it, it can't be all that creative.
