Man, we got an inquiry today so we went and checked out the potential client's website (their business name will be ommitted for possible massive heckle & embarrassment purposes). I was born and raised in Long Beach, California... "THE LBC". Tough town, culturally very diverse & rich, a great city to learn life's lessons as a youngster and adolescent. I'm proud to say that I'm from the LBC. It's a very diverse city and with diversity comes one would hope acceptance and understanding. Well, shown below is a typical photo of some of the wares proprieted & sold by the aforementioned, still to be unnamed client wanting to carry our line. Maybe it's just me, maybe this is acceptable dress code and maybe there are some of you who think that what is shown above would be great for a "weekend getaway". Personally, if I were to wear this out in my home town of Long Beach, I'd get my ass kicked and I'd get rolled... not necessarily in that order though. In short, I'm having a hard time with the acceptance factor here folks! [ Edited by: MakeDaMug 2011-07-29 17:51 ]
