Haven't you seen the Mad TV skit on A&F. It is hilarious. It's spoofs that whole ideal image about them standing around looking beautiful and modieling the clothes.
the one where that lady gives birth next to the dressing area???
Get off your high horse....
So if you were a woman you'd be "high maintenance"?
I hear ya, when I was young and single I dressed to impress but again I was never into the "style" thing but I still get my GQ every month so what does that say? Money is no object at all when it comes to my style.
Actually I like to shop at a lot of name brand stores too.......but for some reason, Batman is just coming off as a little stuck up that's all
Oh No Im Not Stuck Up At All Ma'am I'm Just Saying I Know How To Dress And I Know It....i Guess That Does Sound Stuck Up...but Hey Im Not Stuck Up Or Conceited Just For Future Reference
Bravo Joe Chalupa.
CC's BS reasonings are the rEASON kids are spoiled and out of touch with reality nowadays.
the "pick your battles' is BS.
Your a parent. YOUR in charge. If the kids don't like it? TOUGH, YOUR THE PARENT, THE BOSS!!
For godsake, you parents that want to be their bestfriends, get over it, your parents not friends.
I use to love when my parents gave me the "if your friends would jump off a building would you too" speach
And how many do you have? I'm sure you speak from experience....
And you probably were the first in line to jump, you sound sheepish..How is that Vette and Lamborghini, they make you look so cool....
Depends on who you're trying to impress, I guess... From my experience, if you're over 21 and wearing A&F, you're probably being laughed at.im not high end i just know how to dress and money is no object when it comes to my style
Typical T-Park...
The child in question graduated from UT in 4 years with a 3.8 GPA, then did 2 years in "Teach for America" teaching underpriviledged kids in the Valley, Then went to Law School at a top 5 school, was on Law Review, and is now working for a Blue Chip law firm in Washington DC doing Federal appellate work making more money than you will ever dream of making.
Spoiled and out of touch my ass...
You wanna train your kids to push the go button on the tilt-a-whirl then show them who is boss and make all their decisions for them and you will get what you deserve.
God damn i love being picked on its the greatest feeling in the world....truth is i wear the A&F shirts like just to lounge around, i'm more into the button up nice shirts and some nice jeans with nice boots. Oh and as far as sheepish goes nah i dont follow any crowd i like to make my own.
Batman has just confirmed my assumptions.... he's the kind of guy that spends loads of money to look cool, loads of money to drive something cool, but when it all comes down to it, he's not.
Live life for yourself, dress how you want. If you like the expensive style, go ahead and waste your money! I'm sure your child doesn't need that money to pay for college huh?
I absolutely hate the fact that A&F charges so much for crap that looks old. No thanks, I'll break in and fray my pants myself. And those stupid torn hats! Don't get me started!
hey Kori, can Bat get another spur for being an original member of the A&F crowd?
trust me i dont spend a lot of money to look cool, i have my own sense of style i dont look at poster's or magazines or models to get my sense of fashion. I just know what i want when i go in a store and i simply pick it out, if the shirt or jeans or pants are nice, ill take it. I'm sorry if when i was growing up my family was kinda broke and i had to get my damn clothes from wieners or my shoes from payless and now that i can afford to buy such luxeries for myself i do so....damn you bas s really know how to make hasty conclusions on people before you even know there background, and as far as my son goes, the same goes for him too i buy him things i never got at his age.Batman has just confirmed my assumptions.... he's the kind of guy that spends loads of money to look cool, loads of money to drive something cool, but when it all comes down to it, he's not.

Yeah okay, if ya say so now.
Batman is cool and I admit, yes I'm comfortable with my sexuality, looks good and there is nothing wrong with that and I'm sure as he grows older and has kids his view may change.
Like I've said before I don't want my kids to be obsessed with "style" but also want them to have the best things they desire but just not to lose sight of what is really important in life and being "in style" is not one of them.
Now granted my oldest is only 11 but I've seen some of her friends who are already into the "look" and wear hip hugger jeans and make-up and she has sleep overs the issue of dress and makeup come up but she handles it very well indeed and I pray that she continues to be that way. A big heart is more important to me than a big purse.

so you're saying you came up with the A&F on your own without ever looking in a mag or on MTV? And you're not a fashion designer, why?
So what is the difference between a $30 pair of Levis and a $120 pair of A&F, they don't look much different to me! Let me guess, you make sure your shirt is tucked in, just so people can see your jeans are A&F, huh? And I'm sure if your shirt isn't tucked in, you make sure its tucked in just in front, so your Louis Vuitton belt buckle shows, right?
I shopped at Weiners, Payless, Montgomery Wards and the 50% off store(who remembers those!
Another good example of someone with an opinion on how to raise kids without actually having to do it.
I don't make excuses for buying my kids nice things, and I'm not going to apologize or feel guilty for doing so, either.
It's my ing money, and I don't like pulling something out of the washing machine the first time and it's all ed up because I chose the cheap route. That pisses me off more than spending a little more on better quality.
I too didn't have many things growing up but it wan't until I got older that I realized that my parents could have gotten me more things but they wanted me to grow up humble and not expect things just because the Jones' had them and I'm very glad they did so.
I agree with Batman, to an extent, that I'd like to give my kids things that I didn't have growing up but I also don't want them to be in the "me first" way of thinking. Too many young people have the feeling of "en lement" when they haven't earned it yet. If you have the money to do it than by all means do it.
It's just not the way for me. After my kids turn 18 they can do as they please...well to an extent anyways. I'm 44 and still do as my parents say.
Parenting is the hardest job in the world. Do what works for you.
I'm not apologizing for raising my kids the way I want to.
Damn right it's my money!
Okay, I'll get off my high horse now.
Damn you seriously are only reading what you want to read, in case you didnt see what i said, i like shopping at ross too where the prices are like 10 bucks for jeans and 12 bucks for shirts...that are still name brand...so you're saying you came up with the A&F on your own without ever looking in a mag or on MTV?
