Saleswoman: For these tough economic times, a simple, humble new look: "cheap chic." Discount store tops! Bargain basement bottoms! Frugality is in! The less you spend, the better! Cathy: I'll spend zero and wear my old clothes! Saleswoman: No good. Your old clothes cost too much. They scream "irresponsible extravagance"! Cathy: Ripped jeans and faded hoodies scream "extravagance"? Saleswoman: They're the worst! Expensive clothes that were "distressed" to look cheap! Saleswoman: This season is about authentic cheapness! You can't look truly thrifty unless you by all new, actually cheap clothes! Cathy: I can't listen to this! Saleswoman: At least stop by cosmetics and get a nice "nude" lipstick that tells the world you're not the sort of woman who wastes money on makeup!! Hot buy, then. Hot buy, now.
Yay, sweatshop labour clothes which some poor person in an impoverished country slaved away all day for pennies to make those clothes which where then shipped halfway around the world to sell for next to nothing. Run, Cathy! Run for your life!
