I found that very interesting and informative. Don't sweat it, Janell. Anyone who knows you knows that your post was just information for those of us not as familiar with the whole fashion industry (raising my hand! ) to get a more rounded look at how the money moves around with these big businesses.

I don't even know what the "original thread" even is... LOL

Thank you so much Misty, your post meant the world to me as I know I missing in the event I was planning to attend. There will be others, and I will be there, some I will even host........

(LuLu Pink) blk/white leopard dress with blk sash and pink flower at hips
(SimplyDog) brn/pink/turq dress with little dogs in the center of the hearts

And Max got:
(MM) red, white & blue crested tee w/litte studs around it
(MM) red, white & blue rock tee w/little studs around it

They had some really cute things but not in a small like I needed. Did anyone see the pink satin quilted coat????

Oh, btw, I buy about 99% of my stuff from YT sellers.

Ok, ok......

The adorable pink sweater with the black bow, too cute ~ under $7.00

The leopard dress with the pink flower ~ doesn't get any cuter than that

The black Peek-a-boo dress with pink lining ~ Surfie loves it on Tiki

The pink lace, again a big hit with Surfie, he loves his little girl....

6 bows with the leopard print and pink, (had to buy a few )

Two new collars, Tiki blk/pnk hearts ~ Surfie Trq. bones

One "Simply Dog" green Surf Dog tank for Surfie ~ that was a given

That was about it, my WM was out of boys clothes.

No pink coats at my WM, only blk..........
If there is anything you need in a size your store did not have, I can check back and mail it to you

What a good thread. Its great to know what's going on behind closed doors and why people tend to spend there money the way they do.

I love a sale,but I also also buy according to customer service and how a vender treats me. I hardly even shop at Walmart and have not even been in the store for like 3 years.

Thanks for making this thread

I got the pink shirt with the crystals and the big pink flower at the sequined neck.

Then I got the Simply Dog brown argyle/heart/doggie dress.

I am definitely going back to look at more, I was just in a rush

[Amber_lv]

[Breny]

OOPS I was too slow, looks like the post was already delted. I miss everything

[yorkiegirl83]

I didn't know that linking to something was stealing someone's images either ?? I link to products on websites all the time to show others.

I do to so i don't see the big deal?

First, Sassypup and I don’t know each other, so I am coming to her defense based purely on ethics, nothing more, nothing less.
How would you feel if someone took YOUR designs off your site knocked them off, sold them for a couple of bucks and used your site to advertise them. And you CAN’T understand what the big deal is? I sure can…It’s the principal, not too hard to understand…..

I guess I didn't see it as "advertising" something considering the person that posted is getting no gain from telling yt-ers about a sale.

LuLu Pink is the one that sold a cheaper line to Walmart, not the person who posted the thread. I agree that I would definitely be upset about THAT... that Lulu Pink was selling to Walmart if I was the person selling the more expensive versions.

I also think if the person saved the pictures from the website and posted them as an attachment that would be wrong. I just guess I see no harm in posting a link to a website.. I could see myself doing the same thing honestly.

If I went to "google" and typed in lulu pink and a website came up with those pictures, I would probably use those links as well. She wasn't taking credit for the pictures whatsoever, or saying not to buy from that website.

Honestly no one probably would have said anything about it if it wasn't a fellow YT member's store that the pictures were from, IMO.

I'm not trying to start a debate or anything, or be rude... I just guess I see it a different way.

She didn't steal any pics from sassy pup all she did was google the name lulu pink and those websites came up she just was trying to show what the dresses looked like she wasn't even selling the dresses she just said if you couldn't get them and wanted one she would pick it up for you. She didn't slander sassy or the other site just linked to them to show what the dress looked like. Honestly we do it here at least 20 times a day to all kids of sites. she wasn't trying to take business from anyone. She never once even mentiond price on the other sites. it's like if i found a cute out fit at walmart and linked back to petedge whats wrong with that? people do it all the time!

I dont know the history behind all of this, but I just wanted to say that I believe Lulu Pink is a vendor that Sassypup buys from wholesale and resells on her website.. they are not her designs. This company also now sells to Wal-mart. The other thread that used Sassypup's website to show pictures of the Lulu Pink stuff for sale at WalMart got the website from google. She wasn't even aware SassyPup was a YT member...

Personally, I feel bad for the smaller businesses because I feel as though they got screwed over by Lulu Pink. Why would a majority of people buy a dress for $30 that they can get foe $8? I wonder if this vender let their wholesale customers know before they sold out to Wal-Mart?

Oops..I think Amber and I posted at the same time!
