For one it saves money for the parents. I remember when I was in school our parents would spend three to five houndred dallors on our new school wardrobe. It would help the poor kids fit in also. They would not have to worry about having name brand clothes for school. And a big plus all your good clothes will last alot longer. And most of all the teachers will not have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions!

Does that really matter?  Seriously, while all of these "American Idol" people may, and I stress, may have talent, the fact remains that we are a society that focuses on the outer shell of a person.  Lots of women found him sexy, so they tend to vote on looks, outside of him getting massive support from the southern states.. as with Kat -- her voice may be good, her choice of songs really did not showcase her talent.  I only caught glimpses of the show, as I do not support these reality shows.\n\nJust remember that superficially, the better looking of the batch will always make the cut now matter how so-so their talent is.

you can just claim it. they give you a receipt that you fill out with the approximate value of the clothes you gave. it's a very loose system.\n\ntalk to an accountant. they will figure out the best things for you to do.

The short answer to your question is "yes".  \n\nOnce the judges come up with the top 12 (based on talent), then America decides.  At that point it becomes 70% about popularity and 30% about talent.  People vote for a person that 1) they identify with OR 2) more importantly - they want to be like.  It is American IDOL.  \n\nUltimately people didn't like Mandisa enough.  Perhaps this is because she is black, overweight, a woman, in her late 20's, etc.  It's quite sad because she deserved to go further in the competition just based on her voice alone.

this is the influence of media and sponsorships. when the player you idol is seen sporting a particular brand of clothes, as a fan, you would want to get it. secondly, its human nature to want to look good, even when you're losing. well for those true sports fans or players, it really doesn't matter what you wear, its the attitude. i've always believe that its not the tools that make a player but its his own heart and attitude to the sport.

you can spend as much or as little as you want, of corse its always customary to buy something when your getting a make over, my boss said she usually ends up spending like 100 bucks but if you don't get every product they push on you i'd say you could get away with spending like 25

Is there a Goodwill near you?  You should try a thrift shop, be picky in looking and you could probably find a great outfit without busting the bank account.  If you did not have to worry about money then I would say go for it, but then so would you and you wouldn't be asking this question at all!!  God Bless and I wish you the best on the interview!

The Salvation Army also give clothing to the needy - no charge.\nThey sell the clothing and use the money to provide other necessities to the unfortunate in shelters and people in desperate need. Personally, the Salvation Army is the only Organization I gladly donate money, food and clothing too. \nTry a women's shelter - they always need clothing for the\nwomen that have to go there.

Yes because if your like me and doesn't have much spare money it would be really embarassing having to wear not very nice clothes when evryone else has designer stuff. Alos you might spill stuff on new clothes and also it's nice to get home from shcool and change and when it's non-uniform day and at the weekends you can wear whatever you want and it's more of a treat! Plus it would be very annoying to have to decide what to wear evry morning!

The Bride gets to pick the color and style but the individual bridsemaids pay for their own dresses, shoes whatever else is necessary. The bride should have a nice gift for each member of her party but she does not pay for their attire.

It is tradition for the bridesmaid to pay for everything she wears, including hair and make up.  Just as the men in a wedding have to pay for their own tux.  It's an honor to be a part of a wedding and assumed you will cover the cost.\n\nHaving said that, I was VERY conscious of asking everyone in my wedding to pay for things.  So we decided to cover the cost for our wedding party and make that their gift.  They loved the idea and several did the same thing when they got married!

No.\n\nAny monetary gains- will strip off much more than your disreguarded clothing. You are smarter than the feast of bodily lust for rent.

definately more than they used to. But the celebs which are style icons all dress expensively... \nyou cant go and buy a pair of jeans for less that £50 these days and, they are just a high street brand. Designer jeasn like armani are like £120-£200.
