I was thinking about the brand last week, about how hot it was and how fast it burned out. For a brief time finding a piece while thrifting exciting; now I don't even look twice. Loved some of the novelty prints but HATED the microfiber texture. I decided to not watch the show- we got burned bad with a different MLM years ago and don't wanna re-experience ANY of it.

It's really the anatomy of a cult. I noticed that with Amway - I had a couple of friends (a couple) who got into Amway and it didn't take long at all before they were sucked into it and could do nothing but talk about Amway - they had made it their world.

I watched it and those are the two most slimy arrogant scammy people I've ever seen. Every time they opened their mouth you knew it was going to be just utter bullshit.

I bought a few pieces at a thrift when the stuff was supposedly still hot and hard to come by and never sold a single piece. I had to laugh at the sizing too!

I thought the show was boring and slooooooooow for the most part, but I blame the editing for that. I don't think this one is up to Amazon's usual quality. The story itself is interesting but it could easily have been covered in two episodes. The owners are arrogant, clueless jerks who still don't get what happened, why, and the part they played in it. I skipped ahead to the 3rd episode, LOL.

I just started it and it is slow but the crazy is strong there! The thrifts here are overrun now and the leggings fade BAD. I remember when it first start hitting the thrifts - they were putting it into groups and pricing it like gold. Mine still price it high b/c most of it is new. There are so many pieces it's a glut, but they don't seem to get it. It's the ugliest stuff ever! The colorways are bizarre. I actually DO like the texture, but hate 99% of the prints. I've bought 2 pieces to sell ever, in plus sizes & 1 sold pretty quick, the other took forever, but I had to price them both lower than I like to deal with. My thrifts are all full of it & there's no slow down. Warning - graphic sexuality below - IDK if this is in the doc, but I've read a number of in-depth articles & that woman telling her followers to 'get on their knees' once a day (I'm not talking praying) to keep their husbands happy (yes, she really said that at rallies to her followers) totally grossed me out. Yeah, women need to hear how to keep their man happy, like it's the 1950's more. They are both pretty disgusting human beings. It's sad b/c so many women looked up to her & bought into the whole idea. They would have been better off starting an Ebay business, at least they likely wouldn't have lost as much money. ETA: They do have the occasional decent pattern piece, I've bought 2 for myself to wear as nightgowns, but haven't worn them yet, 1 is just a pretty tie dye pattern in pretty pastels. The other is weird, but the pattern subject has special meaning for me. I have bought 2 pairs of leggings too for gym wear, that seem to be holding up ok - all came from thrifts. Funny that I'm the opposite of RetroMonde, I hate 99% of the prints, but I adore that super soft texture. Lucky for me, many other brands copied the texture. |
