It is a cultural thing - in Europe most people do not smile unless they really mean it. In the US a smile has become more of a polite thing then expression if how you really feel. In order to understand both sides, American and Europian, you have to live for a while both in US and Europe. American women consider Europian women "constantly pissed off", while Europian women consider Americans "smiling all the time for no good reason". Both viewpoints are wrong.

Boycott American Apparel. by Somebody http://cheapjap.com/opinions/take-back-the-gender-boycott-aa/comment-page-1#comment-26753 Somebody Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:59:57 +0000 http://cheapjap.com/?p=5596#comment-26753 You need to seriously chill the f*ck out... Sex sells, nothing new here. Even designers such a Tom Ford use topless women in provocative poses flashing on a TV screen in a storefront window on Madison Avenue. If you are self-conscious or feel threatened/violated than those are your own demons... Censorship starts with the individual. If you don't like what you see, look away... I honestly don't think that American Apparel gives men unrealistic expectations of women. After all the models, (while I admit are thin) are not the "model" type, but sort of the girl-next-door type; honest and erotic, sort of like lounging in bed on a Saturday morning...

]]> Comment on Goodwill Boutique Makes Mockery of Thrift by Polly Mac http://cheapjap.com/oy-vey/goodwill-boutique-thrift/comment-page-1#comment-26557 Polly Mac Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:57:13 +0000 http://cheapjap.com/?p=10643#comment-26557 Probably been 10 years or more since I actually felt like I "scored" at a Goodwill. Plus the thrift experience just isn't the same as what I would call a sweet spot. If I want something cheap (as in poorly made), I'll go to Walmart, Targe', etc. If I want something expensive, I'll go to.....where they sell expensive things. There's lots of reasons to thrift and Goodwill is losing it's place as one of them. Probably been 10 years or more since I actually felt like I “scored” at a Goodwill.

]]> Comment on Vodka, Me and QVC by Dana Williams http://cheapjap.com/oy-vey/vodka-qvc/comment-page-1#comment-26525 Dana Williams Tue, 20 Sep 2011 08:58:16 +0000 http://cheapjap.com/?p=10709#comment-26525 Okay...Must confess... found myself in the same scary predicament, only sadly, no vodka to place blame. Late night, bored, stumble upon QVC and it's like a train wreck, can't pull my eyes away for love or money. The overly chatty "hostess" is raving about this truly hideous 100% poly/acrylic skirt ( a combination that by all rights should be illegal) in this seriously nasty print and I am thinking - this can't be real. Who would ever consider buying this thing? Well, after listening to the sales voo-doo thing they do, I am now thinking hmmm, not so bad - actually kinda "cute" and finally as the clock ticks away I find myself frantically dialing in the hopes that I'll be one of the lucky few to score - and sadly I do. A few days later I am truly horrified when said skirt arrives - even nastier "up close and personal" Meh...What is truly embarassing however, is that I have come this close to pulling the trigger yet again. What is it with QVC and their jedi mind tricks? Okay…Must confess… found myself in the same scary predicament, only sadly, no vodka to place blame.
