I'll be very interested in how the BET special tackles the topic; will it simply point out discrimination, or will it attempt to dissect the reasoning behind exclusion of certain types from certain brands? Better yet, will there be anonymous testimonials? Something else-that is completely non-fashion-related-is how every single cleaning product commercial features a woman, and, you know, she's just sooooo excited about it. So, femmes and hommes, how do we can change it? Does life imitate art, or does art imitate life? If you want to see change, be change.

I COMPLETELY agree...in fact, two months ago (approximately), I purchased a fabric bag at F21, with the sole purpose of using it there instead of that giant yellow plastic thing. However, when I went to check out, I was told it was "company policy" that every customer leave with a F21 bag. Ironic, no? Anyway, I emailed the company, and I suggest anyone else who sees the hypocrisy of their "green" tees do the same...
ALSO, if I may be so bold, I have developed my own line of reusable eco-bags, and I was sure to use only organic cotton, and low-impact dyed products, because I wanted it to be a truly eco-friendly bag. This isn't a trend, it's a turning point! Please check out my page at lacreme.etsy.com
