abercrombie & fitch gets a brand readjustment

incredible campaign in response to the epic douchebaggery of the brand’s ceo.

Abercrombie & Fitch: The World’s Number One Brand of Homeless Apparel 

This campaign is genius, but that tagline kills me.

My favorite tweezers turned up, after a year of being missing, under our bed as we were moving it to have our carpet replaced!!!

Life changing!

But I swear I looked there to begin with.

Also, this is why my blog is called …and then I found $5, because my stories are pointless and contain way too many useless details.

TL;DR: Yay!

Just used some of my Ebates payout to snag this coral blazer from The Happy Wardrobe for the low price of $34.95. Here’s to hoping I like it in person!

You wouldn’t go up and touch a child that you didn’t know/wasn’t yours without permission, would you?*

Then don’t approach me and pet my dogs without asking me first.

Thanks.

*If you would, you probably shouldn’t.

Yes. Yes. Yes.. OMG YES. For one, hi parents, don’t teach…

I had some guy give me a dirty look because I told him I wasn’t comfortable with his daughter petting June. He did the right thing and asked, but sometimes I’m not sure how June will react. She usually barks at all strangers and even though she’s cute, she’s highly protective. I was reluctant, but I held her head and let the little girl pet June. The dirty look wasn’t necessary when ultimately I was looking out for his daughter’s safety.

We have been really pleasantly surprised by the little tykes around us that ask before petting the pups.

Every parent should teach their child proper dog etiquette. For their own safety.

And my sanity…

Reblogging myself because I’m cool like that.

Jen, the kids I encounter are usually very polite, as you were describing, and ask first. It’s grown adults who do this! Does not compute.
