Going all teger on us? My response would be the same, refer to last paragraph.

I was just kidding, was just referring to how teger (and apparently BB1) sometimes seem to like to keep offering counterarguments for the sake of continuing the discussion is all. I'm all good with opinions and don't mind the back and forth in all honesty.

Uncontrol's shift key and/or caps lock appear to actually work, so he's not quite there yet, tonio.

i like your fit pics because of the incongruity, you have a gentle visage and yet it is contrasted with dark shadowy tones of despair, and while it never works together i somehow enjoy it each time. also something about your facial expressions reminds me of sloth from the goonies

It's because I wanted to have a serious discussion about something without it degenerating into grown men calling each other cunts, oh well!

The post club-kids eccentric designer boutiques are another category like Kokon to zai, 7 NYC and that Antwerp crazy place which names escapes me at the moment...

I'm going to bed, but when I check back in the morning, I expect willy to have created a "Sloth wearing Julius" Photoshop work of art.

OK, I'll play:

She sounds like a naturally aggressive person who enjoyed a comfortable upbringing. That she's a woman doesn't really matter.

However....

Retailer Files: What is the reaction of your male customers when they find out the owner is female?

Nicole Miller: We have more of a problem in the industry. I'll be in the store and the sales reps will come in and won't even look at me. They'll talk to whoever the salesperson is, as if they're the owner. I got a comment recently by someone pretty highly-regarded in fashion. They said, "˜It must be challenging for you' and "˜I bet you don't understand that.' The women's industry is full of men. It's not like I'm a men's underwear model. It's funny. I'm pretty good at turning it around in a way that makes them feel very uncomfortable without saying, "˜Excuse me, that's very insulting.'
At the very least, I would suspect this is a regular grievance for Miller. But then, who's to say it's not the behavior of industry folks who are at fault here? Pinning this on Miller being overly-defensive because she's a woman in a position of power is too tricky without more evidence.

Can you tell I've been doing jury duty all week?
