@..now it's just Aesop's Foibles.: The thing that really confuses me is that the reason she's so cute is because of her simplicity and innocence. She is neither of those things when made into a diamond ring that costs more than my house.
Also, if I had that much money, WHY would I spend it on something branded with Hello Kitty?

How many pairs of Hello Kitty sneakers do you think will end up in Mariah Carey's shoe closet?

And yes, you can sell clothes for less than $10 and make a profit without using sweatshops!

Maybe she can try Khols next? I can't think of any store that would agree to sell her stuff so cheap.

Yeah, you're right about the belts tightening. But lots of discount stores have done really well in this economy (look at Wal-Mart, and even Target is doing okay). There had to be some poor business decisions behind the bankruptcy, because in my small hometown, people loved Steve and Barry's, and would buy up anything that had the Steelers logo and the local university on it, no matter what. Even those terrible pleather bomber jackets; nay, especially the terrible pleather bomber jackets.

A bad but interesting chain effect: mall owners paid out a lot of money (hundreds of millions, nationwide) so that companies like Steve and Barry's would locate in their malls--the idea was that these anchor stores would lure customers in. So, with S&B out, that's a pretty big blow to mall owners and to other retailers.
