Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for April 07, 2024

Sellouts.

Back in the days when everyone wanted Calvin Klein’s name on their jeans and were willing to shell out megabucks for them, I said and still think, skip that! If anyone’s name is going on my jeans it’s mine!

I would wear one of those $100 “professional” bicycle jerseys if they paid me.

Does K-Mort even exist any more?

Baseball hats, $10 to do free advertising. Not in my closet.

Kudos to Jan for daring to put a Tampax label in there.

The House should get a percentage (15-20%) of all payments from sponsors.

If this were today, I would say the girls are preparing for college and selling their NIL (Name, Image and Likeness). But I don’t think either one is an athlete. But maybe that doesn’t matter.

Personally, I don’t date “billboards”. It’s the combination of items that is your personal style, not the labels.

Cute! Clever!

Never heard of NIKA, have you?

I get what the names and logos are takeoffs for, except for whatever is on Evie’s tea mug. I can barely see it, so can someone please enlighten me?

Advertiser’s getting their names out for teenagers to encourage parents to buy.
