glad to know that we've been calculated to be greedy. i suppose the evolutionary process also requires innovators such as "Product (Red)" so that those who still have feelings of guilt left over can get rid of them by buying clothing AND donating a percentage to a good cause!

Hey,does this mean that I'm a freak,I do not want what other folks wear,or its not a big issue in my life.I wear what is comfy not what so and so wears or the movie stars or what eve,geez I guess I'm not human!I also hate to shop for cloths for myself,or anyone.Strange?Well I live happy and contented my children all know how Iam so,guess I will live on and be happy.Sorry,style no way not in my life time,no way.

What does this mean for all those people who don't buy within the trend lines? Are they genetic decendents of people who invented fire and the first spear or are they a gentic line doomed to failure because they don't stick to the huddled mass in fear for their very lives?

Maybe, if you follow trends, it means you can't think for yourself.... so, no you don't need to feel guilty about buying clothes but you might want to evolve a backbone.

YOU CANNOT EVEN TRUST WAL-MART. ANY MORE. NOW HAVE A GREAT DAY. WHEN YOU CAN AFTER LOOSING YOUR PET DOG OR CAT.

I could care less @ trends & actually am irritated by anyone who DOES follow them - bunch of sheep. I say, think for yourself - if you LIKE something because YOU like it - then wear it or buy it. But I personally think that groupthink & group behavior when it comes to 'taste' is just an oxymoron. How can you say something is 'your taste' when 97% of the world is wearing it or has it? You can't - it's unoriginal & boring. I'm with the other poster - wear what's comfy. Plus, if you stock your wardrobe with 'classic' clothes you won't ever have to worry about not being 'in style' to begin with because the classics never go out of style!

L.....LOL!!!!!!!

That last statement is so NOT TRUE. I, personally, am not a slave to fashion. I do not like to wear what "everyone else is wearing. I strive to maintain my indiviuality and care not what others think about it. Because it is popular is the main reason why I will not purchase it. I don't care to be like everyone else. All I can be is me. Society does not dictate my wardrobe, nor anything else in my life. Therefore, it is not beyond my control

Ya well guess wat? I LOVE clothes and usually what is put in the stores is what the newest trend is even at Walmart. So, there is no avoiding trends.

NEXT THING YOU ARE GOING TO TELL THE MASSES IS THAT EVERTHING THAT WE DO IS ACTUALLY TAUGHT TO US, AND THAT WE ARE ALL LIVING IN SOME MIND CONTROLLED INSTITUTIONALIZED SOCIETY, WHEREIN NO FREE OR ORIGINAL THOUGHT EXISTS.

I'm just glad that no1 actually commented on grammer this time
:_DD

this comment is for Monica (#9)...who's grammar would we be commenting on anyway?

Monica,

Did you mean "grammar?"

Dahlia (#10),

I think you mean "whose."

Whose is the possessive form of who (or, occasionally, which). It means "belonging to whom or which."

Who's is a contraction of who is or who has. Notice the apostrophe replacing the missing letters.

Incorrect: Who's department do you support?
Correct: Whose department do you support?

I think behind all this pop culture imitation, there's a little originality. We cooperate what we see into our own style.

How sad..most people "know" what looks good on them, and alot of us use our own minds to decide what to wear. If RED is "in" should people that look awful in this color wear it? That's sad. Just look at the trashy clothing that people like "Britney" wears...they would be right at home "picking up men on the streets." (most of her rags cost a fortune..haha) Ahhh TO BE IN AND ACCEPTED. WHAT A JOKE!

How are we impressing anyone if we all ook the same? I work on a college campus, and this is not to be man-spirited, but most trends do not work on everyone, yikes! All around me, all of the people are dressed exactly the same. I like Ugg boots around the house, they are really comfy, but if I see one more girl wearing them I'm retiring mine until they go back out of style. And while I'm at it... college girls of America, just because they calendar says April deon't mean we have to start wearing our sudresses, flip-flops, and tube tops, please! It's spring, not summer just yet. Thank you!
