Is U***n O********s blowing up your style?

Neo-skater punk rock disco *** isn't marketable, so no.

The two above make such fashions affordable, whereas UO is as expensive as anyone.

The latter is definitely a worse brand of posure.

I pick up the occasional UO piece, they're certainly not horrible. The t-shirts are stupid, but I've found quite a few decent jackets, stocking caps, scarves, etc.

I blame UO for the proliferation of 'witty' t-shirts, uggghhh.

Damn that Ralph Lauren. Motherfucker always blowing up my style.

i like to go into UO for an ego boost.
the people that work there are so damn nice.
and the young women employees are nice to look at.
and the patrons give me a wide berth as i sort through the merch with the air of a scavenger rifling through the pockets of war casualties, looking for small treasures.

I find the same thing with the staff at all the American Apparel stores around here.

I'm still not certain if the rest of your post is 100% snark, but you do have a point here.

They think you're Sean Lennon and they're starfuckers, man.

i went into an UO only once. the staff were nice to me, i think.

same with AA. the one time i went to a store they were alright. once my ex left the store they were much nicer actually....

if only i could be in the position of UO... **** it must be amazing to have all the monies. if only there was a machine that literally turned internet message board hate into actual useful substances. the world would actually be a much better place.

its called a business, i cant theres still people bitching about the fundamental processes of a business after this many years in the USA. Just like the morons in the Nike thread.
