Catalog Police: Free People September 2015

Welcome back to Catalog Police – where I wield a samurai sword of justice against retail atrocities being perpetrated against innocent consumers. This week, I am judge, jury and executioner in the case against Free People, a repeat offender. Will Free People live up to its moniker? Or will I sentence them to my Google spam folder and throw away the key?

Let’s proceed with the cross-examination:

Free People, you’re facing multiple charges of careless design and wonton disregard for public decency. Here’s your plea bargain: 6 months community service — assisting those who were BLINDED by your creations. I also order you to cease and desist all production of your “pubic X-ray” pants.

Now, get out of my chambers — and send in Anthropologie.
