Over Lilly Pulitzer being sold at Target.

Backstory for the young

Lily came from money and married money. Her husband was related to the guy that created the Pulitzer Prize. If that were not enough she was classmates with Jackie O so she was the classic example of fashion being the rooted more in who you know that how good something actually looks.

Popular in the 60's and 70's when loud clothes were loud, and Lily stuff was loud, it usually was limited to sorority chicks and gay dudes. The whole brand should have died a quiet death when Lily kicked the bucket but not in modern corporate america where bean counters work hard to extract every penny they can. if Hollywood can make money on sequels why not do the same with fashion.

The melt in sorority land when they see the People of WalMart sporting the clothes will be epic. F*ck modern corporate america for screwing up this country doing this tho ...

FWIW, this is just the latest in the crapping of america. Abercrombie & Fitch was once the greatest sporting goods store on the earth and now all that remains is a clothing store that sells to idiots with sheep like fashion sense. Bean counters make money and America falls farther and faster on the way to second class status.
