I hate purses as the top-level fashion item instead of jewels because purses suck poo poo and I just want to throw them around. also they intentionally made it purses because it doesn't matter if you're fat, they can just make the same garbage with no tailoring or anything. fashion has become a crap.
Don't forget the part where purses are an excuse for women's clothes having either no pockets or tiny useless pockets. Heaven forbid someone be able to fit more than a set of housekeys in there, they might ruin their silouette! :ohdear:

Maybe I'm being a crabby millennial, but "snowflake" =/= too much compassion. Maybe if they'd gone with SJW since, you know, they're fighting for social justice?

I mean, it's still stupid, but it's annoying that they couldn't get their buzzterms right.

They're using snowflake in the alt right sense, which is essentially a synonym for SJW, bleeding heart, etc.

So much about the world makes sense when you realise for the rich it's like a video game with no specific victory condition (or after it) where you've already won and can gently caress around basically with impunity and no consequences so you do whatever dumb poo poo wrings some more entertainment out of it and the consequences are utterly meaningless to you.

That's what middle class and poorer people do at places at H&M. They buy some clothes, wear it 3 times, and then trash it. The clothes are actually designed to be super cheap and not durable, but hey they look fashionable.

I like fashion, some fashion, but I hate purses. I only own like four and I get grief about it but I hate purses so much.

I'd rather just madeline albright it up and have something gorgeous, well-made, and imperious like a nice st. john.

Given I spend hours in every video game acquiring all the fanciest cosmetic items and assembling coordinated outfits I feel a lot more people than you'd think could get into fashion if there were easier points of entry.

Hell, it wasn't even that long ago when (rich) men were expected to pay as much as, often more attention to fashion than women, then someone invented suits and all of a sudden we had cheat codes.

What happened was off-the-rack clothing became a thing shortly after the turn of the 19th century, but men's outfits were much simpler than women's so women didn't get to just buy dresses or skirts from a store for another 100 years, and the women whose outfits were simple enough that they could have been bought off the rack were generally so poor that they were still sewing their own dresses. The revolution that got women easier access to fashion was to stop requiring them to wear multi-part dresses with stiff bustles and elaborate decoration if they wanted to look acceptable off the farm.

I figure this may be a good place to ask, but does anyone know of a blog or any collection of ads or product labels using nonsense 3D models of their product doing what they allege their product does? Easy example being like shampoo commercials always having 3D globules of miracle shampoo coating follicles to show that they're protecting your hair as well as giving it unbelievable vibrant coloring.

Other easy examples:
-Skin products with globules gently washing away gross texture oils in your pores
-Any health care product showing their good guy blobs bumping/eating/dissolving away bad guy blobs
-Any nonsense graph where the axis aren't labeled showing their product going up for no reason

Not needed but desired: maybe a blog with these that show or link debunked proof of the products doing what they promised, or hilarious lawsuits the companies got into from their promises.

Herzog shows up when you least expect him, like as a villain in Jack Reacher, in a Harmony Korine movie, or in an upcoming Star Wars TV series. I think he lives in California now, so in between making movies and documentaries he takes up the occasional acting jobs. So showing up in F&F is the one of the less unlikely things that could happen.

You could smuggle drugs in Kinder eggs so you can't bring them into the country. Thankfully such careful laws as this are the reason why the USA has such a low rate of drug use.

Kinder eggs are absolutely sold in America, they're a different type than in Europe I think though because of our laws about having inedible things encased in food. The package is egg shaped and split down the middle, with one half having chocolate cream and some crunchy things and one half having the toy prize.

I see Kinder Eggs all the time in the Impulse Buy section. They have a plastic ring so that the inedible part is partially exposed. It’s a pretty good compromise.
