From the Rafters

I'm coming late to this, but since I commented on the phenemenon of idiotic t-shirts over the summer, I thought I'd just say one thing about the Abercrombie and Fitch shirt debacle. On the one hand, it's very good that girls realized they could use their wallets to command a clothing giant to stop being (quite so) offensive. But on the other, I wish that a slightly different perspective had been voiced. Where are the people out there saying: "Why would I want to wear something that makes me look like such a nitwit?"

On the plus side, perhaps the "girlcott" is a sign that people are more willing to shop socially and that there is a lot of promise for sites like Buy Blue. My sister-in-law has just informed me that there is a special Buy Blue Holiday Shopping Page coming. Here's hoping it makes a difference.
