This brandname craze has finally spread to American kids. It is sweeping E. Asian young population for some time.

Not to have one is like not feeling like a normal human being. It is a must-have item to fit into in-group. It is a social pathology alright.

This brandname craze has finally spread to American kids.

It was here 20-30 years ago when my kids were growing up. If you didn't wear certain brands, you didn't fit iin.

So, who PAYS for this stuff? Parents have no one but themselves to blame for their childrens' materialism.

No wonder little girls are becoming anorexic at younger and younger ages. It's terrifying. We discourage this in my family. Our little one wears simple, pretty clothes made for children. Not adult clothes in tiny sizes.

"'I ask her, 'What do you need these for?' said her mother, Jane Cohen of Bel-Air, who shops mostly at vintage stores and garage sales..."

...in order to pander to her daughter's WANTS, not NEEDS.

My kid went through his "designer" phase when he was in Junior High. I understand all about the "fitting in" stuff because when I was a teen, our brand of jeans were very important to us, too.

I would buy name-brand stuff if I found it at Goodwill, and he was given a clothing allowance, BUT if all of it was spent on one pair of jeans, he knew he was out of luck for anything else he needed that season.

What a marvelous teaching opportunity for parents to use, but when you have numbskulls like this Mom, it's a lost concept. I mean, I'm sure a monthly clothing allowance in Bel Aire is equal to a mortgage payment for us. *Rolleyes*

This little girl is going to make a great Ex-Wife for some unlucky future guy, LOL!

She is a discerning consumer — her Ugg boots are not knockoffs, and she names Prada and Dolce & Gabbana as her favorite brands.

Prostitots.

Mommy, "I want this"... Yes dear...

"I ask her, 'What do you need these for?' " said her mother, Jane..

There's your liberal parent. She asks her daughter what she needs, maybe even protests a little, and then goes out and buys them for her.

This is but the old Jewish princess stereotype brought to life.

Why are people complaining about how others spend their own money?


If you don't want designer clothes for your kids, fine. Mind your own business if other people spend money that way.

[durasell]

What is interesting is the kids learn about the labels, but not the quality of clothing or even how to care for it.

I wear Uggs Sid. And I'm a guy. In the interests of honest disclosure, I'm not a tween, not a teen and over 30.

I wonder if she knows who Edward Teller is, or Aldous Huxley or even John Adams (the president, not the beer!)...
