Wasn't that in a poem written by Maya Angelou????!?!?! I don't think it was true, I think she was just trying to make us aware of buying into labels.....

I did my research on that and everything I found said Timberland Boots was made by the president of the ****. If you do not remember like in the early 90's there was a big problem with the Boots because someone spotted something that look like someone hanging from a tree so they had to take them off the market and remake them

Dag that is so beat up!!! They wanna hate us yet wanna use us to but their product. :???: Guess life is all about making money and success! :sad: That is so sad that we buy into all bs also...why support someone who don't have enough respect to even turn your way and speak? Remember all that drama that was going on with Tommy Hilfiger when that brand was like the hottest thing to hit the market. Good thing that I forever rock my heels, thought about getting me some nice hot Timbs (would've been the 1st ones) but I steering away from that decision.... still gonna see if I can find some research on this!!!

Maya Angelou did not write that garbage poem Clothes. Someone fabricated it and placed her name on it. It has been surfacing on the internet every since then.
