Here’s an off Idol question...

when you buy new clothes, do you wash them first or just wear them off the hanger from the store?

I’m anal and wash everything first. Except socks. You never know who’s disgusting hands were touching the lovely polo you just bought.

feet are already gross, so who cares.

I just wear them. My mom insists things must be washed, but that never rubbed off on me.

ALWAYS wash them!! Even shoes I buy, I try them on then ask for the same pair that hasn’t been tried on before - then I’ll buy them.

Off the hanger for me. Often with tags and stickers still attached :)

Wash first. If material hasn’t been pre-washed the dyes may run when worn and a lot of these imported from third world countries don’t pre-wash/pre-shrink their material. Also the material should be pre-washed prior to cutting, but a lot of them don’t which is why they shrink so bad.

Ya just gotta wash the new outa new clothes! New sheets also. Tee shirts, not so much since many events you don't get the shirt until you are at the event. Sometimes it drives my kids crazy cause they want to wear their new clothes right away!

Back to Idol... I'm not sad to see Carly go. Nothing to do with her voice (or tats), I just have never cared for her. I think Brooke is adorable... love David C. I'm tired of David A. and I like Jason's personality and think Syesha is cute as a bug and the camera loves her.
