    Observations for today:

    • clothing with brand names plastered all over it is vulgar and tacky
    • I saw a bottle of Dove body wash in Woolworths today for seventeen dollars …honestly getting fisted would be less painful than buying that.
    • apparently it’s going to get to 38 degrees on Sunday? We’ll see. Some of these forecasts lately have a habit of being very changeable.

      I really dislike clothes with brand names all over; gives me serious ick about the person. Like, stop paying to advertise a company that doesn’t give one shit about you (general “you”, not you you lol)

        Agreed and they haven’t thought put anything into the design. They’ve gone some idiot will buy this if we slap our logo on it.

        I understand why poorer people buy name brand name clothes.

        They can’t take the risk that something they buy will be crappy as they can’t buy again. So they buy brand names where they know what quality they are getting.

        They do the same for food too.

      I’m very sus about that Saturday forecast too, but I’ll be planning to have a quiet day at home with the AC nevertheless.

      As for body washes - people are asking to be ripped off buying them at RRP at Colesworths. Either go to Chemist Warehouse/Big W or wait for the inevitable 50% off. Or if you don’t mind grey imports, go to The Reject Shop.

        Like we all know Colesworth is a rip off but when I saw that price tag I thought it was particularly egregious.

      Could be a good weekend to plan for a doona, blanket and rug wash marathon. Possibly go through the linen cupboard and give EVERYTHING a wash & do a general audit thereof. Then donate the unused and unnecessary items.
      Re clothing with brand names - do band t-shirts count as such?

        A band tshirt not as bad. There’s usually some effort of design involved and most bands aren’t multinational corporations. They actually produce something meaningful.

        if you have any of those old ugly dancing bear tees that no one wants and which are very unwanted and unfashionable I would take them off your hands but only if you ask nicely
