How many and which corporate brands are on your body right now?

[sixmile]

Including clothing, shoes, fragrances, deodorants, cosmetics, hair products:

I count six featuring Levis as the codpiece.

[SeattleGirl]

1. Right now, one

I really let myself go on the weekends.

[Debi]

2. Secret, Matrix, Victoria's Secret, Old Navy, Champion, Ped's, Crest

Blistex, Redken. I think that's it. :)

[mockmonkey]

5. Hey! Me too.

How weird is that??:silly:

[Debi]

21. I forgot I had Vogue glasses on...

Do you have those too?? B-)

[sohndrsmith]

36. Vogue? Heck I get my glasses at either the dollar store or Ace

Harware (for some reason, they sell reading glasses for 2.99).

[Debi]

43. Heh...I wish I could buy just plain reading glasses n/t

[sohndrsmith]

48. Heh, I wish I could afford real glasses... : ) nt

[Debi]

56. If you need assistance go to your local DHS and ask about clubs/groups that will help

If you need glasses - you need glasses and there are people who will help you get them.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. Three.

I have on a pair of White Stag gauchos from Walmart, A Venezia Cami from Lane Bryant, and in my eyes are Hydroclear Advantix contacts.
Duckie

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Five.

A t-shirt, hoodie and cardigan (I'm cold, haha) all American Apparel. Levis belt and socks. Guess jeans. Hanes undies. Vans sneakers.

[Bertha Venation]

6. one - Russell sweats (two if you count the logo in the undies)

[Inchworm]

7. One

My watch is a Timex. I take it off for one thing. I think it has built itself into my skin.

Well, 3 if count Brute and boxers :D

:hi:

[jberryhill]

10. Timex...

I can afford more expensive and trendy watches, but Timex makes damned good watches.

[pokerfan]

8. One

Licensed apparel (sweat shirt) from my university.

I wash with homemade castile soap I purchase from a mom and pop operation and use generic shampoo on what hair I still possess.

I shave with Wilkinson blades in a safety razor that once belonged to my great uncle. Blades are good for more than a dozen shaves and cost about thirty cents in bulk quantities.

Inside my stomach right now is coffee, but no name brand there either, eschewing "Charbucks" for the product of a local roaster.

And I don't wear my Luminox on weekends:

[jberryhill]

9. Timex, Calvin Klein (2X) and New Balance /nt

[nuxvomica]

11. From the bottom up: Gold Toe, Levis Strauss & Co.,

...Stratford (JCPenney), Coft & Barrow (Kohl's?), Nike.

[beac]

12. One-- Vanni eyeglasses.

Their hip Italian style really classes up my generic bathrobe and slippers.

(It's cold as hell right now-- so instead of running errands today, we opted for a stay-at-home lethargathon and comfort food eat-off. ;) )

[quakerboy]

13. Zero

[madinmaryland]

14. Considering I just came out of the shower, none!

[Deja Q]

15. Dunno; I don't buy big name brands and I do what Andry Rooney is said to do

hide the logos. :D

I am not a walking advertisement, unless they pay me.

[sixmile]

27. I didn't ask if they were big brands

just asked WHICH brands. I think you'll be surprised that you do have big corps somewhere on your person.

[sohndrsmith]

45. I guess I misunderstood what you meant by "corporate" brands....

I thought you meant big name/well known brands, of which I am wearing only two Colman - my watch (I don't like women's watches and I miss my paint covered G-Shock but they don't make the model anymore. The Coleman is a pretty decent substitute... for $20 bucks) - and Scotch - blue tape keeping my dollar store glasses together. Barely.

I'm wearing my daughter's hand-me-down jeans, and I don't see a name brand or label anywhere... Nor do I see one on my shirt, but I think I got it from Target.

My toe rings are from Key West or Cape Cod or both.

When I go outside to walk my dog, I'll be wearing Birkenstocks (2.99 at Goodwill - brand new). My dog is not a name-brand, he's a lab mix mutt but he DOES have a microchip, does that count? : )

[unpossibles]

64. I almost never buy anything new, so it's kinda moot

thrift store purchases for almost all of my wardrobe, and a few homemade items.

I get your point (sort of), but as I am buying them used, I am supporting local businesses with almost all of my clothes purchases - the Salvation Army, Goodwill, and other charity thrifts.

In fact, the only things I am wearing right now which are not used are socks and undies, but I could not tell you what brand they are.

[ogneopasno]

16. Now read the tags on all of 'em, and see how many were made in the USA. You know,

if you feel like you need a downer.

[annabanana]

17. LLBean, playtex, procter & gamble, timex

lane bryant (sigh)

[Jamastiene]

18. Hanes briefs/panties: They are girls' panties but look like boys' briefs.

Hanes makes them. That's it for clothes most of the time when I'm online/at home.

Johnson's and Johnson's Baby bath (lavender)
Suave Naturals Deodorant
I use Pantene Pro V hair shampoo, and Crest toothpaste.

That's it for now.

[Initech]

19. Zero

I dont wear name brand clothing.

[jberryhill]

20. Your clothing was made by someone...

...and I'll bet their name is on the label.

[Robeson]

22. Do Salish Indian tattoos count as corporate?...

...I sure hope not.

[otherlander]

23. Gah...

Old Navy, Lee, American Apparel, and Chapstick.

I painted this on my shirt:


:shrug:

[redqueen]

24. Five.

Including the headphones.

[Xipe Totec]

25. Quicksilver & Lanesboro

That's it.

Unless you count the Sobieski vodka, plus all the meds...

[vixengrl]

26. My shirt is Adidas, my shoes are Reeboks,

my eyeglasses are Guess (awkward moment taking my glasses off and then trying to read what brand they were!) my bra is Hanes (I love sportsbras, I am a big girl and they are comfy) and my drawers are Delta Burke (her brand has nice panties--not those plain granny-looking things.) I don't think of these so much as corporate brands, but I have a lingering scent of Aura Cacia Amber-patchouli perfume oil and I have Priti nail polish in "Magic man" on my nails.

[LaurenG]

28. Toms lavender scented deodorant. No make up today.

Otherwise I'm wearing 2 shirts, a pair of tights and other things, all from target. No name brand that I can tell. The pants were a gift but aren't name brand and some Gortex snow boots by the back door. So one thing I guess. Organic shampoo/creme rinse by Babaii.

edited to add - crest, I do brush my teeth and the soap is something from dial (soy almond liquid soap) I think.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

29. Mitchum, Crest, Pantene

St Ives, L'Oreal, Burts Bees, Movado, Hanes, university tee shirt and the jeans are so old who knows.

[SKKY]

30. DKNY, Steve Madden, Nike, Calvin Klein, Diesel...

Oh wait. Remove Calvin Klein. I'm not wearing underwear.

[sixmile]

31. Well it's Sunday, you know

[Catshrink]

32. Hm... Bears shirt

Liz jeans
Sketcher's sneakers
Hanes unders
NextCare bandaid
Paul Mitchell Conditioner
Neutrogena moisturizer

That's 7.

[RetroLounge]

33. Gap Boxers

I'm wearing nothing else.

:hi:

RL

[sixmile]

34. Many people in the lounge are near naked

I can't imagine using the internets while only partially clothed. :)

[sohndrsmith]

35. one. Coleman (as in camping gear)... my watch. n/t

[sohndrsmith]

38. Oops. Forgot one. Scotch. (as in tape). Blue painter's tape is holding my

dollar store glasses together. (man, no wonder I can't get a date <g>) what a pitiful sight...

Blue painter's tape is a gift to the world - and us creative types...
That's about as corporate as I am right now...

[Iggo]

37. Think again, kids.

There's 14 separate brands on a pair of Levi's.

Now go count again.

[sohndrsmith]

39. you mean rivets? n/t

[Iggo]

57. Five buttons, six rivets...

...two tags (back pocket and inside waistband) and the actual brand on the outside of the left pocket, inside the pants (the part that touches your left thigh). All have the Levi's logo on them.

But I misunderstood the question. The OP just wanted to know how many different brands of stuff you were wearing, not the actual number of logos you were sporting.

[sixmile]

41. A pair of Levi's is a pair of Levi's

Not asking how many labels or identifying marks.

[Iggo]

42. Ah, I get it.

I thought the point was how many logos are you wearing. My mistake.

[sohndrsmith]

50. ah. That's if you're current styles, I'm guessing...

I don't buy new jeans - ever. But I do buy Levi's (and Abercrombie, AE, Ralph Lauren, Hollister, etc. Didn't pay more than $7 for any of them, half that usually. Personally, I like utility and quality over "fashion" but having a teenage daughter has pointed me in the direction of the non-Levi brands).

I like good quality, I just can't afford to buy it new. I'd rather by a well-made t-shirt at goodwill for a couple of bucks than buy a new one at Wal-mart that is designed and made poorly and will fall apart after one wash. The hard part is finding stuff long enough (someone added all my height at my waist, apparently, and I don't really do the bare belly thing...

I wish I could freaking sew...

[Iggo]

51. Yes. Yes. A thousand times, Yes.

Teenage girls make it real difficult to maintain the "simple man" lifestyle.

But it's worth it.

[sohndrsmith]

52. that's why goodwill is (for me) a necessity.... unfortunately, they

seem to vary from state to state. In NY they're pretty shoddy, in AZ they're pretty incredible. Every two weeks they run a 50% off sale at 7:00am, and I had to laugh the last time I managed to get to one, the parking lot was full of Mercedes, BMWs, etc. If I had money, I'd still rather find "current style" jeans for $7 rather than $40 or more...

If I bought clothes new at the Limited Too, Old Navy, etc., it would cost HUNDREDS of dollars (for my younger one)... and the neat thing is that kids grow out of stuff before they wear them out, so many of this stuff has hardly been worn. Some of it I'm sure hasn't (kids get things they don't like or doesn't fit as gifts... what do people do? Donate it to Goodwill! Enough do, anyway.).

You do have to learn how to hunt well, and spot certain things in a sea of blecch. But it's worth the time to get used to it. I buy a new pair of Birkenstocks every year, and if they've been worn, I couldn't tell (this is rare, I've gotten lucky). I bought a pair new once and they ran about $80.... so 2 - 3 pairs in the last 2 years for 3 - 5 dollars.... let's see: would I want (or be able) to spend $240 for shoes (sandals) or would I rather spend $9-15? It's not even a question.... (you have to be very picky and careful with shoes, however, but I know what to look for. Not something to be careless about...

Goodwill has noticed, though, and their prices have gone up. Not enough to be no longer worth it, but I don't buy things that are full price - ever. Even at Goodwill. And I never buy anything I can't wash/disinfect/sanitize/etc. - thoroughly....

I don't know what I'd do if I had to buy new, brand name clothes for my kids - no exceptions... I couldn't do it. Period.

[Lyric]

40. Seven

Pert Plus (hair)
Biolage (hair)
Secret (anti-perspirant/deodorant)
Bath & Body Works (lotion)
Nike (hoodie and shoes)
Gilligan O'Malley (PJ bottoms, bra, underwear)
Hanes (socks)

[Lucian]

44. Lets start when I showered.

I used Axe Body Wash, and I can still smell it on my skin, so there's one. Then I put on deodorant - Degree clinical strength. Then I put on a pair of Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs. And now I'm wearing a MN Golden Gophers t-shirt and Starter shorts. Oh, and I'm not sure what brand it is, but I'm also wearing eye glasses.

So I'm wearing six different corporate brands right now.

Edited to add I brushed my teeth with Crest Total Care and used the same brand mouth wash. So seven.

[mcctatas]

46. 6

Gap boxers and tshirt, Victoria's secret boulder holder, Degree, Aveda, Clinique and Revlon (thank God I'm not wearing full make up and hair or the list would be longer). In short, I am a corporate whore :P

[sixmile]

47. We're all whores

except the completely naked, of course.
Today I am down to six from seven yesterday (no watch), held together by A&F shorts, Gap tee, Adidas sneakers, Body Armor socks, Clinique moisturizer and Right Guard pit spray.

[mcctatas]

49. We use the same moisturizer!

:toast:

but I refuse to buy expensive under eye cream when Preparation H works just as well if not better!

[sohndrsmith]

54. I never use moisturizer... : ( I'm lousy at girlhood that way.... :)

If I'm covered in paint or dirt or dog hair, I'm most comfortable. Paint and dog hair do not get along, however... so that's tricky...

I've read about that PrepH thing... does that really work? What does it do? If I have to spend more than 2 minutes putting makeup on I get really bored and annoyed... I liked the idea (in theory) of tattoo eyeliner (not that I could afford it or would actually do it) but makeup is such a drag. I don't mind wearing it once it's on, I just don't like having to deal with it to get to that point. Plus, I can't see, so the less I do the better, I guess.... : )

[ScreamingMeemie]

53. Two.

Levi's and Matrix Biolage.

[Dangerously Amused]

55. Hanes, Champion, Duofold, Pro Spirit, Guess, Jason

It's a comfy clothes day. :)

The Guess sweatshirt I got at a thrift shop, though. Does it still count if the corporation didn't make any money from the sale to me?

[redqueen]

58. Thirteen

The stockings are generic and have no label, do they count?

Johnson's, Proactiv, Neutrogena, Biosilk, Bare Minerals, Maybelline, M.A.C. (I think...), Healing Garden, Hanes, something, something, something, croft & barrow.

[spinbaby]

59. Let's see

Lands End, Easy Spirit, Hanes, Bali, Alps, Sears.

[Rhythm]

60. Hanes and Secret are the 'biggies'

The undies, socks and sports bra are Hanes, the deoderant is Secret...

The other stuff:
T-shirt - a "Steve & Barry's" clearance special
Hoodie - Ouray Sportswear
Jeans - an old pair of "JMS"
WVU ballcap - "Twins Enterprise"

[tigereye]

61. 5

hmm, I thought that a lot of the stuff I wear wasn't made by large corporations... :rofl:

[bigwillq]

62. Three articles of clothing from Old Navy

Jeans, Short-sleeved shirt, long-sleeve button down shirt

My socks are Hanes
Don't know what my boxers are

My sneakers are Sketchers


My deodorant is Mitchum and then I put on some generic body spray.

That's it.

[BlueIris]

63. Victoria's Secret, Nordstrom, Doc Marten's, Northern Sun and Jason.

Tasty.

[Shell Beau]

65. BCBG, Steve Madden, Rock & Republic, Victoria's Secret, and Bath and Body Works.

[huskerlaw]

66. Wow, this is scary...

Diesel (shoes)
Adidas (socks)
Ann Taylor Loft (pants)
Gap (top)
Victoria's Secret (underthings...)
Revlon & Almay (makeup)
Aveda & Tresemme (hair)
Dolce & Gabbana (perfume)

So 10, I guess. Eeep.

[sixmile]

67. We have a winner!

I think the ten corporate brands currently on your person makes you the thread leader! Now tell us all about those underthings. :)
