Eschewing branded clothing? I see just the opposite.
branded clothing means like the shit with big brand names and logos plastered all over your body making you look like a walking billboard.
it was hot in the 90's
not hot now.

I really don't think the frat boys were misinterpreting what "Think Pink" across the butt is meant to imply, and the fact that many young girls don't get this makes the marketing strategy somewhat smarmy/exploitive, I think.
I have posted in protest of the usage of "tacky" on DCUM, but in this case, I have to say that Pink clothes are...tacky.
I agree! Tacky. And yeah, they're not for me...but still, it's a roundabout way for a girl to tell the world "I shop at Victoria's secret!" ("Wink wink!!! Are you thinking about my undies now?") no thanks. Not a message kids should send. I don't see how it's any comfier than other sweatpants and "PINK" written on everything is dumb.

It's a VS plan to get girls to dress and think slutty at a young age.
Sweats are "slutty"? Most girls I know who like PINK clothes mostly wear the sweatpants &/or sometimes the sweatshirts & t-shirts.
Check out the relationships forum. There's a thread that went to 7 pages (I think) recently about someone's friend dressing slutty, and a disturbing number of people posted in defense of judging and calling women sluts for how they dress. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at moms who want to slut shame children for wearing sweats, but it's mind boggling to me.
