[sonick]

True Religion has out-guido'd them

I met the managing director of a $27 billi capital fund and he was wearing RR and square toed loafers. I should just become a stylist.

Victory?

 

[jet]

only the battle my friends not the war

like k mentioned we need uggs, flip flops, and square toe shoes to vanish then we may claim victory

While R&R isn't my style, and I actually think they're quite ugly, I certainly don't take any pleasure from a company going under and potentially putting their investors/creditors out of $$ and their employees out of jobs because of it.


*While I hate to see anyone suffer because of aesthetic-related choices, my "no fat chicks" rule still stands. Sorry.

Does this mean that the guidos and the douches have discovered raw jeans?

No, just that they've moved on to something else.

Yes. Which is nice in a sour-grapes kind of way, but bad in an american-teams sort of way.

R&R business is 90% women's product, it just means their female customer base has maxed out their credit cards on bad jeans, manicures, tanning and botox.

Tacky Hoes can't afford no more "spendy" denims.
