“ships me 15 bottles of wine a month”
Good gosh, I hope you have some help drinking all that my friend. I see why you picked your screen name. lol
Beat ya by two posts.
It's BRILLIANT advertising. They just convinced a bunch of luxury shoe shoppers that they can get great deals at Payless for quality products.
Also, if you read the article, you would see that everybody "scammed" got their money back AND got to keep the shoes.
Everybody was a winner here. Except the "luxury" shoe stores on Park Avenue that might now see less foot traffic (pardon the pun).
Just a thought, were there any men's shoes sold to men by this "luxury" shoe store?
Snicker ...
Come on over, there’s plenty for everybody!
That’s what came to mind right away, along with the so-called fine art, stocks sure to soar, thousand dollar perfume, and on and on.
I’ve been in Payless stores. They’ve got a few good brands, and a lot more inexpensive cr@p. My bet is Palessi wasn’t trying to pass off some of the inexpensive cr@p as designer.
Fake fakes?..................
Oh well. They can call it what ever they like.
Happened to be in a payless last weekend with the wife and saw a pair of hightop converse on display, cost...$55. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t check but I’m sure they were made in some pacific rim country. When I was a kid my parents used to buy ‘em for me for $8....’course that’s been a while. lol
Were the Kardashians customers?.....................
I go with the 3 dollar wine........................
But if they did pass the inexpensive cr@p off as designer, these “influensters” are total morons....
Appreciate the offer but Connecticut would be a bit of a commute and going home would be especially interesting after all that wine. lol
Ninety-nine percent of all shoes bought in the USA are made in Chine, Vietnam, or some other factory sweatshop. Those $200 Italian loafers? Made in Bangladesh or someplace similar.
But whatever. I am still blown away at how millions of American have essentially made everyone named Kardashian a billionaire. Absolutely incredible.
One of the most enduring lessons that life has taught me is this:
You will never go broke underestimating how shallow people can be.
Check out the picture accompanying the article. Do you see any actual men in it?
I had several pair of All-Star high top converse as a kid/teen. I wore the crap out of them. To the point my Mom would have to throw them away in secret, because falling apart and stinky I’d still wear them.
Obviously, these are the same fashion leaders who helped convince women to pay over $100.00 for pants that are ripped up to look like they were found in a dumpster.
Coming soon: cosmetic arm adornments that look like needle marks so everyone can seem to be a junkie.
Just a variation on the Folgers coffee commercial, “we secretly replaced the coffee these fine diners normally drink with Folgers Crystals...let’s see how they react.” Kind of corny but it makes the point.
