We love brand names




Why is it that people would be thousands more for something as little as a brand name. I see it all the time, girls will walk in and buy little Juicy and Couture accessories for like what, $100? or walk into certain clothing stores and buy a $75 tank top that doesn't cover half their stomach. Why would they do that? I'll tell you, it's all for the logo. Because logos represent something, money. It's all about money, and wealth, and presentation. If I were to wear a shirt from Walmart, with a logo clearly represented Walmart, people will look at it and think, hmm unexspensive, not cool. But if the same shirt were worn and had the logo of like Locoste, people would automatically think that shirt is cool. I think it's riduculous. To spend so much money for products that have the same qualities of generic. Riduculous.


I see this type of competition with people at my school all the time. Mostly girls, trying to out dress other girls, trying to get the perfect, preppy image. It makes me sick to my stomach, as I watch them fight for something pointless. And it's not just women in my school. But all schools, and cities all over the nation. New York City is a city that jumps at to me as a city where it's all about big brand names. Designer clothes, big brand names. Like the show The Real Housewives of New York, or even just any of those Real Housewives shows are all about money. I'm just kind of tired of it.
