All of a sudden (and doesn't it really seem that way) there is a huge brouhaha about Ralph Lauren's clothing for the US Olympic team. First there were complaints that the athletes were going to wear berets. Then it turned out that not just French people wear berets. Um ever hear of the Green Berets? I think they are pretty Red whit and blue blooded, he n'est pas. Now there is a big stink rising because Ralph Lauren's design were made in China. Did anyone ever think Ralph Lauren didn't make his clothes in China?
The point I think that everyone has forgotten is the stuff Ralph Lauren designed is just damned ugly. Did anyone not notice the HUGE Polo logo on every thing? What is making them wear? They look like they are sportin' neo-nazi morman country club togs. Hitler Youth dressed like that! I have never seen an American with a subscription to a fashion magazine of even a JCPenny catoluge dress in an out fit like that. Ralph Lauren designs false Americana, even his name is fake.
Why aren't they dressed like real American's? Baggy trousers and visible underpants for the men and if the women wear size 12 slacks, they force themselves into a size 4 and have a camel toe. The Snooky and Pauly D lines would have been more representative than Ralph Lauren. Although Raph Lauren's cothes being made is rather all American. When was the last time an American sewed anything? The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory maybe? American's don't sew, vacuum or mow lawns. We watch TV, Google and demand unemployment extensions. We will wear although whatever anyone tells us to.
