Ah, yes. I'll share a sad commentary. I was in a Children's Place shopping for my kids the other night...got to talking w/the cashier about retail and blahblahblah, and mentioned my old days as a Structure manager. She said "What's 'Structure?'" Has it been that long since the name changed???

Okay, this whole big concern about what's "fratty" and what isn't is really gay. Even the word "fratty" is gay. The popped collar was gay back in the 80's and it's even gayer now.

Hollister? AE? A&F? All gay.

Missing the days when guys just wore 501 jeans and a t-shirt. All this extra grooming is just...gay.

Maybe I'm missing something but good grief, can you lay off the word 'gay' as a derogatory term? I can't believe that this is the only word in your entire vocab that you could find?.

What does 'gay' even mean about these stores?

If you do insist on using it, could you at least get the grammer part right...'gayer' should be 'more gay' ? (and really, only if you must)

AZ is considered west coast (just because it's an afternoon's drive from CA) - so technically, you're right - we're pretty much in the middle of the desert

I guess A&F and AE desire sexual relations with other clothing of the same gender?

I think Express is pretty damn brokeback. In fact every Limited brand including A&F is brokeback. Some chick on GC talked about how hollister was so great and i think THAT is definitely brokeback.

Heh - interesting adjective. Express has some great clothing, along with certain RL pieces. Nordstroms is great, carries great brands as well (albiet a bit pricier).

I clicked on an audio clip of the movie review a while back and didn't realize how loud it would be. Everyone in my office heard. The jokes still haven't stopped about me. But the good news is that now we all say it to each other. And after a while, I realized other people were saying it...finally it appeared on urbandictionary.com and we are working on having Websters add it to this year's new word additions.

A&F is no longer a Limited brand.

Yeah, but you are going to have to get a lot of use out of it while you can. It's sounds like something thats gonna have an incredibly short shelf life. USe it for three weeks, then when everyone else is using it, make fun of them for it and tell them how its lame. lol.

I still think its funny tho.

And then in approximately 7 years, in the middle of a conversation with my friends I'll say that's brokeback. One guy will point his index finger at the other guy, tilt his head back, and laugh hysterically. Another guy will say "Yo dawg, he called you a homosexual and referenced a movie from 2005". Hilarity will ensue.
