I am so disgusted with Calvin Klein right now! I am really tempted to discontinue Bring-To-Fruition's relationship with the retailer! Have you guys seen this yet? I mean, what exactly are they promoting here?! According to Calvin Klein, the company's "intention was to create a very sexy campaign that speaks to our targeted demographic." Does this seem sexy to you guys...and what exactly are they saying to their "targeted demographic"? Please forward your thoughts!

I am not listening to “E” because what he’s saying is brilliant or insightful, I am listening to him because most of the time I am rendered speechless by his “alleged” voice of reason. (For those of you who don’t know, “E” is my teenage son). Anywho, it was Saturday night, and we had just gotten in, (me from playing taxi to him and his friends, him from youth group, basketball, and bowling). I retired to my office for about an hour or so to answer some emails and finish a writing project. “E” on the other hand, I thought would shower and retire to bed. Evidently, he traded sleep for brainstorming because he was waiting to talk when I emerged from my office. Not really in mom-mode, I figured I would entertain his “talk” by simply putting the “yes and no” in the proper place, so I could go to bed already. Don’t take that the wrong way readers, I knew he didn’t want anything important, I assumed he just wanted to brag some more about his 130 bowling game that he was so proud of. Boy was I wrong!
I joined him in the living room for this “talk”, which went a little something like this,
E: Mom, when can we go to the mall to buy my Father’s Day outfit?
Me: Huh?
E: My Father’s Day outfit?! You know it’s coming up, right?! I need a new outfit!
Me: (Trying to find, and use, my nice voice) What entitles you, a child, to a new outfit for Father’s Day?
E: Because I’m the reason, you’re a father, Mom! I should be celebrated!
Mom: (Rendered speechless, got up and retired to her bedroom. Leaving E and his logic right where they were!)
I really, really, can’t make this stuff up.
I am not going to keep you long, (not because I don't want to chat), but my to-do list overfloweth! There are a lot of great auctions ending today, so if you haven't done so already, get your bids in. I introduced a new brand into the store over the weekend, which I normally reserve for my international resell customers, but I thought I would see how you guys like it. The brand is "Lrg", it's a fairly new brand, created in 1999, but I love their clothing and their message. Be sure to check it out if you get a second and tell me what you think! (Not that any of you are short on words!) =0)
Hopefully, I will get a chance to touch bases with you guys again later, but I can't make any promises, so don't hold me to that! xoxo
