Isn't Brett Favre the existing face and butt of Wrangler? Did I hallucinate the past several NFL seasons and their attendant commercials? (God, if you are a Raiders fan, please say yes.)
Oh Jon Gosselin. Christian Audigier associated himself with the Rock of Love contestants, but offers you no clothing line? What does this say about you? Is this maybe a clarion call for some serious soul-searching?
(Apologies for alliteration. Whoops, did it again. Honestly-- unintentional.)
As a lifelong Mainer, my heart warms every time L.L. Bean is mentioned outside of my home state. It gives my blueberry-picking, lobster-cracking, potato-farming soul a pick-me-up. I mean, the store is hilariously over-priced and over-run with people, but it is near and dear to me all the same. Huzzah for Maine!
@ProjectZoe: LL Bean jeans on sale are a sweet sweet thing. Every summer, my gfs are all "we have to go shopping for khakis and jeans" and I'm like "no I don't" and they say "again?" and I nod smugly, saved once again by the Bean catalogue from the torture of stores in the summer.
@ProjectZoe: My parents live in Massachusetts and every time I visit, I make them drive me two hours north to Freeport. Love LL Bean! I bought a winter coat from the store and brought it to DC for the inauguration. I stayed toasty all day from 6am on, even in 20-degree weather. Their cold-weather gear rocks.
@badmutha: They feel like housecats, too. I found an ocelot coat at a garage sale once. I touched it and my stomach turned. I'd rather have fur on live, purring, shedding kitties.
@so5minutesago: Perhaps not, but then te blogger didn't exactly accept the forgiveness, and apparently has an ax to grind. So the legal wrangling continues.
I'm upset about the Jon Gosselin + Christian Audigier line not coming to fruition. I had a lot of jokes ready. Some were so good, I put them on flash cards. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until Jon embarrasses himself with something else. At least I won't have to wait too long.
@BabyJane: No doubt -- no point in having a spokesman who can't display the goods on his popular show. That may explain Jon's attempts to get out of his contract with TLC.
Alex Carleton at LL Bean has the potential to be very awesome for those of us who would like to be very, very warm but also have a bit of style in the dead of winter.
@hortense: I loved Eddie Bauer when they had the higher-end, AKA line. I managed to get some beautiful, classic yet WARM dress pants, skirts and sweaters from them that I'm still wearing almost 10 years later. Unfortunately the regular stuff at EB seemed to go down the tubes after they dropped AKA.
@BritneyCanadaWhore: That may be enough to induce me to start the downhill slide to hell and buy a pair. I'd wear fleece-lined anything in winter. Hmmmm... fleece-lined panties, anyone? A fleecy muff for your muff?
Per JcPenney, I'm going to say I'm totally fur free. I'm also against eating fish eggs, so no high-end caviar, and because I'm eco-conscious, I'll make a stand and not buy myself any more cars or use private jets. My social awareness score is skyrocketing.
"Ever since Anna Wintour adopted Adele as her new fashion protégée, we've been secretly fantasising about how their styling sessions might have gone. 'Go on, Anna - get a hot dog down you,' we'd mused Adele might have scoffed."
I clicked on the link to read the Adele article and it was annoying, to say the least. Jezebel spoils me into forgetting that some other publications really don't have the ingenuity to imagine women having conversations about anything BUT weight. I'd be more stabby, but it's St. Patrick's Day, and I'm giving myself and everyone else a little leeway....
