I Don't Give a Bleep About-Designer Clothes

I really can't see myself spending $200.00 for a pair of jeans that say, "apple bottom."(and have a picture of an apple on the right cheek). First off my bottom does not resemble an apple, a large grapefruit, but no apple. Why are we falling prey to this blatant commercialism. I can see when kids are in school and their is this peer pressure to fit in, however not as adults.



I had on some slacks the other day (they were really nice-good fit) and one of my co workers complimented me. She asked where I bought them from, I told her K[mart. You would of thought I said from the garbage dump. Her nose crinkled up, and she said, "I would never shop there." I mean I could of lied and said Macy's, would that have made her feel better.


What messages are some parents giving their kids when they run out and by 200.00 Michael Jordans? Dang, isn't that man retired? So why am I putting a retired basketball players shoes on a 6 year old who doesn't have a job.




I am sorry to rant like this, but I grew up in the Jordache and Sergio Valenti jeans era and as long as my mama gave me ONE pair of something trendy I was cool. When my mother lost her job and could not afford even to put food on the table, I realized that their were indeed more important things in life.
