Those items could be from charitable organizations. They could be things that were acquired, before going through financial hard times. They could be borroed items. They could be purchased from yard sales or thrift stores. They could be purchased at department stores at a severe discount. The point is, none of us know.
I am not fond of folks playing the guessing game or making assumptions about other people's finances. I certainly don't agree with the fact that someone has to look the part, if they are supposed to be of certain financial means. Just because someone is wealthy doesn't mean that they should always wear Chanel suits. And just because someone isn't wealthy doesn't mean that they are supposed to wear tattered clothing (no offense to the bruhs. Tattered clothing can be the hotness. lol), non-designer clothing, or poor quality clothing just to play into what someone feels they should be wearing based on their finances.

But sometimes you DO know--or at least sometimes I know--I won't speak for you. Sometimes you know because people tell you--or tell someone else and you over hear them.
And I'm sorry, but I don't know of any charitable organizations that are giving out hair weave and matching T-shirts to go on a TV show and even if they are, it is about PRIORITIES. Speaking of homegirl on American Idol, the first thought in my mind when I saw her was "why didn't y'all use all the money it took you to get there/buy them tshirts to pay the rent??"
To the orginal poster, there was another thread about being embarassed by folks. Sounds like your post was in line with that. The link is
