There's been famous people in Gap ads for like 15 years.

Hmmm, didn't realize that. I don't seem to recognize the models in the Gap ads from the 90s. I do recall Sharon Stone wearing a Gap turtleneck to the Oscars in '96 or so, though.

I got the update today in a newletter for employees. Finally. Employees shouldn't be the last to know if you ask me.

And I love SJP. I was watching Sex in the City on TBS last night and was thinking how pretty she is. Then that got me upset about this thread.

From Yahoo:

LONDON (Reuters) - British soul singer Joss Stone and her music will be featured in new advertising for Gap Inc. as the retailer replaces "Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker for its summer advertising campaign.

Gap said late on Monday it would use models and Stone to sell its white denim line.

Devon-born Stone, 17, earned three Grammy Award nominations, including one for best new artist, and scored two of the 50 best-selling albums in the world last year with EMI's "The Soul Sessions" and "Mind, Body & Soul."

San Francisco-based Gap originally signed Parker in mid-2004 to a three-season contract, which it said was the first multi-season deal it had ever signed with a celebrity. She appeared in Gap ads from fall 2004 through spring 2005.

"While Gap will always seek partnerships with celebrities, musicians and rising stars, we don't have any future plans to sign a single person to a multi-season deal like the unique and special relationship we enjoyed with Sarah Jessica," the company said in a statement.

Is the song "I like being a girl" an actual song? And if so, what is it from?

Thanks!

"I Enjoy Being a Girl" is from the musical Flower Drum Song.

Gap Inc is doing alot to adjust their lines to fit the population. I remember a few years ago some of the stuff that was there was very edgy. Gap is supposed to be about classics and wardrobe staples. The mix and match vibe they are using right now is great.

I know this is wishful thinking, but I'd love BR to expand its sizes. They would make a mint of money. Old Navy is a bit youngish for me. Maybe this 35-plus concept may have expanded sizing.

Old Navy is doing "Women's Plus" which is a little less teenager-y and in expanded sizes.

I wonder what they will call it? What type of clothes are marketed to "over 35"? Petite Sophisticate type stuff?

Update from the Gap Inc site:

The new store will be called Forth & Towne

Oh I meant to post that. We had this huge article to read about it. I thought there would be more test stores though. How well can they read the public's reaction if they only try it in Chicago?

Actually, it's 3 stores in Chicago, 1 in New York. I'm surprised they aren't having any in the west coast.

That is surprising and annoying. I'm near Los Angeles, and I'm over 35. I would be very interested in this.
