It irritates me that they have their logos as part of the "look" of the things so avoid them. <BR/>I do buy things that have writing on them sometimes unlike a friend of mine who refuses to buy or wear anything with writing on it let alone logos!<BR/>The other issues (other than advertising) is that many of the companies use child labor to produce their products and add to their profit margins that stinks even more so.see mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02987821650335460107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912740197445297127.post-74493748977639822622008-08-08T12:13:00.000-04:002008-08-08T12:13:00.000-04:00Cool, Barb.

Luckily, with my three being...Yes, I remember that! Luckily, with my three being homeschooled, they really don't know brand name from generic. Although, I will say that clothing at stores such as Walmart don't have the quality they should and buying from those types of stores is a huge waste of time. You will just end up replacing them after 5 washes. So I see both sides of the debate on this one and sit on the middle of the fence.Little Ole Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557841288195717535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912740197445297127.post-24923015987967063712008-08-07T14:12:00.000-04:002008-08-07T14:12:00.000-04:00Can't agree more.

Reverse snobbery, maybe? But I also feel if they want me to advertise, they'd better be paying me instead of vice/versa! Always felt that way, but then, my parents brought me up to celebrate my differences, creativity and originality so wearing what everyone else had just wasn't that appealing to me. <BR/>JMHO!<BR/>Courtneycourtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618347070399093071noreply@blogger.com
