There used to be a time when I would believe a store is just that..nothing more now we live in an age of constant paradoxes built side by side sleek dress shops slick looks as corporate models brush by brushed steel and glass mega stores the upper floors are for the Armani line me... I have nothing against fine garb there is the creative process yet here comes the contradiction a part of me can live with the 10 dollar shirt the other recognizes the need to pay for quality and to have...at the expense of somebody you say? high end clothes...somebody will fill the niche and the 'others'..there are less dignified 'friperies' friendly Salvation Army type outlets... still I veer through the high arched complex glitter that reinforces a complex as old as the book of Job clothes don't make the person yet so many are bent at becoming better people through repeated store front worship?

Touche' And is it really necessary to wear a name, other than your own, on the pocket or sleeve of your shirt? I think not ... good thought provoking read here. |

And I bow humbly before the alter of Armani... Where I sacrifice my hard earned dollars. A very true and interesting write, Martin...  ~ bumpity bump up to the top againIt fell down way too fast and didn't get enough replies... so, up it goes... ~ retail grinsLyra |

Hi Lyra, I get paralyzed on my way to the Armani floor..that's a good thing Tammy, I don't know about blessing the consumers... I know you mean that as a figure of speech. I do know that thanks to millions around the world we have the standard of live we enjoy and won't easily give up  Thanks for sharing your thoughts though. Retail Hugs to both of you!!
