omg, about the Somalis killing the Americans. That is horrible.

I also think that Obama should be taking a more visible stance and be more pro democracy in support of the revolutions throughout the middle east.

Reagan must be turning over in his grave with this namby pamby approach by our administration.

I think jessi does make good points. One of theings you learn when pricing is not only market value but perceived value. As an artist, this is a huge issue for me and others, this is very important when trying to set a price on something you’ve created. Chances are you never get paid for the real hours you put in, and a number of other factors also come into play, but I think this is close to the whole issue of brand recognition. When I worked at the Brooklyn Museum we would get in contemporary, outrageously expensive designer clothes donated by some of the wealthy trustees. So I got to see these pieces form the inside out. I was shocked at the crap construction, and cheesy fabrics. These women were paying thousands of dollars for a dress that was comparable to a high end off the rack dress at Macy’s. they paid for the label.

I think it’s time for Obama to grow a set of balls and wipe Somalia off the face of the earth. the pirates killed the 4 Americans.
