i just need to add to this little thread because star and i have our own personal issues that go way beyond the whole bobble head thing she's got going on now. i worked for payless for six years of my life (some good, some bad but that's neither here nor there) and eh, midway through or so payless decided to make star thier spokesperson. whatever, everybody knows that she don't wear the shoes and it's a money thing, again, neither here nor there. my issue is that for a considerable portion of my adult life i had to listen to people say "wow, ya know, payless is really starting to come up (you must smack your teeth while saying this) ever since star started designing the shoes". really, do you really really think that star was designing shoes for payless? (totally discounting the fact that payless, duh, does not have an inhouse designer but buys the shoes from the same wholesale designer person who makes all discount shoe brands) i mean, really? it was so freaking hard to daily have to listen to idiots exclaim over star and her shoes!! they are not her shoes! she did not design them! she does not wear them! she just gets paid to say shit now and then. oh and the posters....for about two years, every poster that payless had in thier store (including crappy seasonal trend ones in the back room) had star's face on them. i mean, how creepy is a 10x15 window poster with just star's face on it? very very creepy. especially when you turn the lights off at night to go home and theres a slight breeze from the air conditioning vent and so she's sorta staring at you all bug eyed from out in the dark. not that i would ever stoop to such tactics but certain managers and other associates in stores in the area would paint faces on her. yes, even on the huge window posters. one store even drew a mustache on her, which stayed up for about a month until our dm came by and flipped out. oh and why did all the posters have the same pose/smile on them in the same position on the poster? it was almost like payless only paid her for one picture and then just kept photoshopping on new outfits and jewelry. which, in my opinion, they did, cheap bastards. oh star and i have some major issues, but im scared to fight her cause she would totally kick my butt. there's something about her that just scares me to the bone.
