Someone needs to send a note to Rush Limbaugh (if they can bring themselves to it)

Here's yet another example of African Americans that have made "crackers" rich

(i.e. Michele Obama's love of J Crew helping their stocks & sales soar)

(in light of his comment about George Steinbrenner's passing)

I saw the photo and rememered this woman from a previous article. The reason I remembered her was she looked like she hadn't brushed her hair in about a month. She's doing better, in this one it only looks like maybe a week.

Hopefully she'll re-think 'Jenna's Picks...' I've been shopping at J. Crew for 20+ years and it's become so pricey I can't afford it anymore...however even if I could, the quality of the clothing, especially the fabrics, has gone way down.

I love Jenna's picks! Can't afford most of 'em (and/or don't WANT to), so I find them on Ebay for generally half the price!

I think it's exciting now, and it's been making headlines because the First Lady Mrs. Obama made them even more of a household name! When she ordered clothes for herself and her daughters, sales shot up, and promotion went through the roof, as any label/company that she buys from. I remember when she wore that Donna Ricco dress a few years back on "The View". Sales exploded, and the website crashed! I was so happy for Donna's company, as I worked with her briefly back in 89 as her patternmaker.

Hmmmm....will the new creative director actually have creative pieces, then? Especially for J.Crew's petite sizes?? Because I hope so...most of J.Crew's petite sizes either fall into the business/officewear category or bridesmaid dresses. Oh, and t-shirts need to be of better quality and the cashmere sweaters smaller sized.

Did they really have to write a headline "J.Crew's New President!" for the teaser box? Is it really that exciting?
