She is probably just another fashion victim trying to be outrageous.

Saying "###$ off" to society is an attitude not a slogan!

His shirt should have read Bitch.. or Bitch Backup. I think it was just blank.

maybe she just had to come out to get/buy something_that she needed. you are wrong to assume(automatically) that she wanted something from you~so therefor ~ ~

She did not want anything from me. It was not a personal attack towards me. I am aware of that. It made me laugh

Sheesh, you are soooo touchy.

Blank is cool. It shows you aren't just another fashion victim of some multi-billion dollar company that pays people in the third world less than a dollar a day to manufacture their crap.

but who manufactures the blank ones?
Maybe it was just me noticing how it all looked like a trap.. or an invitation.. or both.

The blank ones are made by children who are sold into bonded slavery by their poverty stricken parents. They are then kept in darkened rooms with their feet nailed to the floor so they can't escape and are forced to work 23 hours a day.
It's not all bad news though, they do get a half days holiday every alternate leap year.

To be serious though, by not buying clothes with labels or slogans you avoid the fashion trap. Fashion victims are called that because they fear the ridicule of their peers if they are seen wearing last weeks/months/seasons fashion.
Those of us who choose not to wear branded clothes can buy a shirt or whatever and keep it until it wears out. Huge amounts of the planets limited resources are wasted by people who throw out stuff before it is worn out just so they can keep up with fashion trends.
People could also choose to buy clothes made to high ethical and ecological standards, although they often look like they were made by colour-blind hippies.

blank shirts are produced in third world countries and THEN the companies buy those to slap their logo on it. so no matter whether you wear blank shirts or not it all comes from the same place.

Nadine, I know they are all made in the same place. However unlike fashionable brands the non-branded clothes can be worn until they wear out.
I wouldn't argue that all branded goods are bad though. For example today I am wearing a pair of Levi jeans. They are about three years old and when they wear out I will buy another identical pair. I don't have to worry that they will go out of style because the style hasn't changed in decades.

regarding fashion victims, i'm going to paraphrase a quote by actress Grace Kelly here: No dictator in the world can force his will on his people like a fashion designer.

Chairman Mao managed to be a dictator and inspire everybody to wear the same fashion!

If anybody is still interested in the original question about the weather; It's a warm and sunny autumnal day here.
