Colorblock Top $40, on sale for $30 |
The design of this top could have been more creative but how cannot exclude a top that reminds me of the padlocks on bridges in Paris. These are locks or padlocks placed by lovers onto the bridge to symbolize the love getting locked or being everlasting. It is a custom not exclusive to Paris but Paris is the only place I’ve seen it done. This basic top would look adorable with a short but full pleated black skirt.
Let me know if you see this collection in person.
When the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) found out that the Ravelry group was hosting its (third) “Ravelympics” competition, they promptly (and perhaps too quickly) sent a cease and desist letter.
Back in 1982, USOC took on a case against the Gay Olympics. The U.S. Supreme Court then ruled that USOC has exclusive rights to the word Olympics. The right can extend to words that play off of “Olympics.”
In this case, USOC is taking on the Ravelry community. The Ravelry group is a large online knitting community. Ravelry hosts a competition that takes place while watching the (traditional) Olympic games.
The knitting participants were to take on different events including “scarf hockey,” “a sweater triathlon,” and an “afghan marathon.”
In regards to Ravelympics events, USOC’s cease and desist letter stated that Ravely’s events tend to
“denigrate the true nature of the Olympic Games. In a sense, it is disrespectful to our country’s finest athletes and fails to recognize or appreciate their hard work.”
Surely people do worse things than knit while watching the Olympic games. But so long as those people are not infringing on the Olympic name, I suppose they shall be fine.
Since Etsy sells fashion, I consider this fun piece of legal gossip appropriate fashion law news 😉
Below these funny letters I announce my Hermès and gift card giveaway winner!
(Via Above the Law writer who got it via Regretsy.)
Unsurprisingly, Above the Law reports that Ms. Schechter phoned them to say she wrote the letter on her iPhone as her lawyer husband dictated it to her. Now, I thought the above letter was too silly to merit a response; however, when I read Ken White’s witty response, I was moved to giggles.
Ken White also reported that Mr. Schechter’s family has received threats behind the Etsy controversy. Someone has gone as far as listing identifying information about the couple’s child and the school the child attends. Attacking the grammar and merits of an argument is fair game but harassing or threatening someone’s family? Not okay.
Do you use Etsy? What are your feelings on items that are not handmade by the seller?
As for my first giveaway, thank you all for entering!
