Baby Diamond, that was exactly my point. It’s not hating Lilly that bothers me. The disproportionate amount of hatred it gets compared to similar less conventionally “girly” stores.
What do you mean Lilly shouldn’t be able to price their own merchandise? Stealing the intellectual/creative property of another company is flat out wrong. Part of the reason Lilly is so expensive is because the art that is their designs merit fair compensation.
I find it so odd that Lilly Pulitzer, as a company, is so demonized simply because of its clientele. Wal-Mart is affordable and offers a range of sizes, but that doesn’t make them an inherently good corporation. What they do the the communities they are in is way more fucked up than what Lilly does. The disproportionate slack companies such as Lilly receive seems, at least to me, to stem from their unabashed appreciation of all things girly. Which is obviously really really shitty.
TL;DR- Artists deserve fair pay, stealing is wrong, and the crusade against all things deemed “basic” by the general public wages on.
Maybe it isn’t what you intended the article to be about, but you spent a good portion of the article giving your opinion on the two videos as well. If you didn’t want it to be discussed, then you shouldn’t allow comments on your posts.
Taylor pulled the gender card, which is a cheap shot. But it started with Nicki pulling the race card. As a woman of color, I think both are annoying and agree that giving it publicity is dumb.
I hate that you had to spend an entire paragraph pandering to the PC police because they’ve even overrun TSM. Missing the brutal honesty and humor from a few years back
Nate definitely needs to be here
I love her confidence in saying what she believes, despite knowing it is coming to come under fire from the general public
Scrolling through all of those comments is like looking at the ghosts of “bless your hearts” past
Snaps for finding the middle ground between a funny and betchy response that I just spent a solid twenty minutes trying to craft in my head
Yeah college courses are definitely not easier than high school…
Underrated comment
Out of all the guys I’ve ever dated, the one who hurt me the most was a nerd. Being smart doesn’t necessarily make you nice!
Real talk though, my super liberal college’s political theory course freshman year had an entire lecture on “speciesism”

Whether you have it or you don’t, talking about money in public is always tacky

I think you are ignorant to what the word ignorant means, but message received.

Old but still gold
If the merits of an article can be outweighed by a more accurate title, maybe the article needs a little more substance

Just started crying in the middle of lecture
Used to love you, Lucky Jo
Yikes, only top 5%? #NotNetWorthMyTime
The way these comments are being voted is so fucked. Commenters who are articulate and clear are getting lost behind people calling each other sluts.
Not srat.
