This is some sort of sick joke, right?

{Quoting:Alex Stroup}
But me not understanding why someone would pay $100 for a t-shirt is not the same as me condemning it. Even if in less serious moments I mock it (as I do people who watch Joey; even though I mock I don't really care).{end quote}

I've been mocked before for watching this show!!! Are you a curmudgeon???

Back to topic, sort of:

Knockoffs, copies. If it doesn't effect the performance, I go for it. But, we do the swapmeet a lot and I never buy their 'copies' of anything. Even little things. Mostly because I know they are not made to the same standards and will not last as long as I'd like and also I am concerned about what it is made of, normally also not to standards.

A lot of things the copy just won't do. If it is clothes, I do understand that a more well made dress will more often be made to fit better, lay better on the body, and move better when you walk. They often show in the fashion mags 'knock off's' and an outfit for up to a grand and here you can buy it for under $200. But, is the material the same? Will it really fit the same? And, you have to ask, does that matter?

For me, {back to topic} that t-shirt wouldn't work for me. I have other shirts the same material and I have found the lesser expensive thicker shirts look better on me. So, that is even more of a factor than the price. I have a $200 pair of jeans in my closet. If I don't eat for a while I can fit them. I think I'll eat and wear my $20 Levi's.

Thanks Lisa for the quote from Seinfield, I can hear him say it. And, I can hear Joey saying about the mocking 'Aw, come on!!!' then 'Hey, how YOU doin'?

Happy Friday!
