I just got really confused. My name is Jenna and my daughter's name is Sadie, and I thought perhaps we had gone Rodarte touching in our sleep last night. Phew, crisis averted.

Unrelated to the topic but related to something in Jenna's post I don't get-- Why is Williamsburg now codeword for hipster? How did it become something of a hipster mecca? Is this Williamsburg, Virginia, the colonial town?

@remedios: No, Williamsburg the section of Brooklyn. If you were to visit, it would be immediately clear.

@remedios: although frankly it would be refreshing if the denizens of Williamsburg, Brooklyn started dressing like those of Colonial Williamsburgh, VA. half the dudes already have appropriate facial hair.

@sportz.star: I've always thought that "Williamsburg Hipsters Set Adrift In Colonial Williamsburg" would be a generative concept for possibly the beat reality TV show ever. Call it "Williamsburg Crossing" and get Attenborough to do the narration.

@Jenna: Oh god, Attenborough. That is awesome. Course if he was narrating it would need a naturalist survival of the fittest theme. Brooklyn hipsters surviving with colonial tools in Colonial Williamsburg. Much like KidsNation, or whatever that was, only with highly educated and highly inept hipsters. It would be brilliant.

@Penny: I've been hacking off the back of my growing out pixie for weeks. I know there are ways to grow out the back without being a circa-2007 fashion mullet but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.

What are you doing???

@J.D.Regent: I used to do the back of my pixie cut with a Bic razor, running it down sections of hair to thin it out and shorten it at the same time. It is was more forgiving than the scissors...

You know, I've already been missing NYC, and then I read this:

"Club Monaco locations in New York City will be serving champagne until 11 p.m., and the SoHo store will have a cupcake truck outside until September 12th."

Well at least the stands Abercrombie takes against disabled people are totally worthwhile and meaningful. Just think: if they had allowed those sisters to do whatever they wanted everything about the store would have suffered! All their customers would have totally cared and thought they were like lesbians or something! Oh gawd, it's bad enough they're disabled, now their lesbians too?!

But seriously, what exactly was the point of doing that, Abercrombie? If I was a higher up in the chain I would be pissed that such moronic ignorance is costing the company so much freaking money.

"Meanwhile, co-star Kristin Davis' line with Belk department stores has been discontinued, and the actress' planned New York Fashion Week show canceled. Belk and Davis say the decision was mutual."

BUT IS SHE BY SHEREE STILL ON?!
Good. I wish more actresses would discontinue their lines (or get fired, either is fine).

Having had to recently deal with some upper-management types at Abercrombie, I can only say that everyone there is just really, really dumb. I don't think that they are intentionally nefarious, I think that the company policy just completely prohibits anyone from making any decision on their own in favor of common sense.

Penny

@TheUptightMidwesterner: Agreed. My company allows no autonomy at the store level, which means that one store freaking out because they have sold out of one item and they don't know what to replace it with snowballs into my having to draft a memo because our CEO assumes every store has the same problem. They are totally helpless, and it's fucking annoying, but it's really the executive management's fault, not theirs. This is the case with most specialty/mall retailers, so I try to cut them some slack. Like you said, not evil at the store level, just stupid and frozen by rules.

@TheUptightMidwesterner: Except they end up violating the law when they do this. State and federal laws require accommodations be made for people with disabilities. After already undergoing a lawsuit for alleged disability discrimination, it is unlikely their hasn't been some research into disability law in upper management. If they are not adapting policy and educating staff about the ADA and state disability laws, then it is because they decided to take chances.

@Lymed: I agree, but they are also trained to look for physical handicaps, and therefore could not or would not consider Molly's autism to be an actual disability. I also firmly believe that is one employee had half a brain and let them go into the room anyway- they would have been fired and we would be reading about Jane Doe, who was fired from AF for letting an autistic customer go into the room with her sister as caretaker..
The company is just so robotic- everyone ends up being fucked in the end.
