How low known clothes brand have came just to promote their clothes? I was just reading a newspaper article, about the latest Christmas calendar of the brand Abercrombie & Fish. Perhaps you already have heard of it. I was stunned what I read!!

The catalog is racy because of their photos and texts about group sex and masturbation.

Inside the catalog people could find a group of naked teenagers sleeping under a Christmas tree, surrounded by gifts or teenagers on a country side, crossing a creek without a shirt.

The magazine says: “Sex as we know it, includes one or two people, but why not more? The ménage a trios is usual configuration. An orgy could include a certain unlimited amount of lovers. Groups can me mixed or the same sex, friendly or anonymous. A pleasant alternative and very secure is group masturbation”.

The magazine talks about the importance of having many sexual experiences when a person is in college and includes a letter to Santa Claus in which they forgive the people whom they have offended in the course of the years, among the ones “girls who wears

G-strings, vegetarian people, Mrs. Claus and the impotents.

Even though the catalog is aimed to those after 18 yrs old; many people are against it because they are promoting sexual promiscuity because it does not matter if that catalog is sold to people above 18yr, which does not mean anything. A person of 20yrd could buy the catalog and then show it to people underage, once it is bought.

These same clothes brands have had many problems in the past, and it was call a racist some years ago, because they would not allow black people to work in their stores.

In addition, this brand launched on 2001 G-strings and thongs for 8 yrd old girls with the word “kiss me”.



Even though USA is already used to sex, people believe that Abercrombie & Fitch has gone too far with this catalog.

Im no prude but I believe that kind of advertising is very inappropriate, kids learn too fast what they see on TV, magazines, etc.

I think K-Mart started carrying Joe Boxer about 2 years ago.

I bought some of those flannel drawstring pants by JB from K Mart they were less than $10, those type of pants generally sell for around $20. Good quality!

Yes it's a great opportunity for you to travel around Europe. If you haven't been to the UK yet, do go there. Ofcourse I'm not impartial. ;) My DH, who's American, loves it &

I had a "friend" once who had a dd go into modeling. She pushed her dd into it and was quite proud of the things she did, which included nude modeling.


In addition to the modeling, her dd was working in a strip club at 17 (lied about her age). She also shared a bedroom with her brother in an apartment they rented. Their mother thought it was sooo cool that her DS and DD got along so well that they shared a bed!! And she knew they both slept nude!! They were 18 and 20 at the time.


I thought it was pretty sick myself and I ended the relationship with my friend partially because of it. I didn't need friends with those kinds of values.
