I think we are all on the same page for the most part. <br /><br />When it comes to the daughters, we feel a bit uncomfortable about J.Crew (or any firm) marketing them without parental permission. <br /><br />I wonder how J.Crew's marketing team will address these concerns.Alexis {J.Crew Aficionada}https://www.blogger.com/profile/01823796392253094261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-31720621856945658362009-07-07T14:53:18.170-04:002009-07-07T14:53:18.170-04:00P.S.

Why do we see the problem here and the great PR minds @ JC don't?<br /><br />I bet JC will get a call from the Obama camp and they'll claim some lowly PR person put the release out without review or approval and they're very sorry (kind of the WaPo approach with the whole "salon" thing last week). Hopefully that will satisfy Michelle and JC won't make the same mistake again.connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162544598916887502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-26196397868704650132009-07-07T14:48:42.558-04:002009-07-07T14:48:42.558-04:00JC should stop this.

Putting out a press release every time one of them wears their stuff is crass and exploitative. If they keep it up, they probably won't wear their stuff anymore.

Outright marketing like this is unattractive, given the issue w/the dolls. However, J Crew has not named any of the clothing after the girls. I guess that's the negligible difference. <br /><br />Barely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-42984582855815062072009-07-06T22:07:49.771-04:002009-07-06T22:07:49.771-04:00Thanks for posting this article!

Or is it ok to allow for endorsements during the campaign when every vote is needed? Either way, someone's going to look bad here...M-a-m-a-mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571789014149273122noreply@blogger.com
