Baby Phat's Days Are Numbered

The more I think about how foolish and desperate Kellwood Company, owners of Phat Fashions, which includes Baby Phat (for several years now) looked with that "anonymous" comment posted here a few days ago, the more I realize how close Baby Phat is to "the end". The picture at the top of this post is from the stats for this blog, which show how feverishly Kellwood was scouring this itty bitty little site last week, and then got so pissed, called me a "fucking whack job" and posted such vile words anonymously. Only, I was able to prove it was them with just a few clicks of a mouse.

Let me tell you something. "Whack job" I am not. If you thought I was a "whack job", you wouldn't be visiting this site so often, including this Monday. Yeah, I saw you. I told you from the very first post here, I think this one makes 46, that I was not going to stop telling this story. And, I am not. You can take that to the bank. Which, pretty soon may be the only thing you are taking to the bank.

You messed up. Kimora and her team and we, her supporters and buyers of Phat Fashions, did not deserve the disrespectful way you handled this situation. Someone conveniently leaked back in August that Kellwood was tired of paying to have Kimora's pictures airbrushed and that she was too heavy at a size 10. A woman who'd given birth just over a year prior at the time. What world are you living in? I'm sure you all had been meeting and brainstorming and trying to figure out how you were going to handle disseminating the news that the partnership, if that's what you want to call it, was being dissolved. Well, whomever decided, "Let's say nothing," should be fired because it was the wrong move. A very wrong move. Your visits here tell me, now you know.......and, your ass is BUSTED. --Sugar

I'm always busy with work for my job. Always. Not a week goes by that isn't crazy. So, I don't get to check in here as often as I would like. So, imagine my surprise when I saw this comment just now:

Anonymous said...

you are a fucking whack job!!!! seriously you need to get a life and chill out. Stop taking things so seriously and realize that life is not about hating, its about living. Really, are you someone who is so obsessed about Kimora that you cant possibly see that she is a business woman and in business, things happen.

I knew right away who it was from and my suspicions were confirmed with just a quick check of my Statcounter. The photo you see above shows the exact times that some fuck from Kellwood Company, owners of Baby Phat and Phat Fashions, visited this blog on the 14th and look at the time of the comment.

Let me tell you fucks something. I'm not going to stop telling people about what you did to Kimora or to us, her supporters. You will not intimidate me. Had you handled this properly, there would be no need for this site. I think I've stated here that had you fucks decided that you simply wanted to go in another direction with the company, that was certainly your right to do so, but IF that were simply the case, you would've certainly said so. It happens everyday. That a company decides to take things in a different direction. But, they certainly don't handle it the way you fucks have, because that WASN'T your intention. Your silence betrays your desire to hide your true motives.

You can get as angry as you'd like. The spreading of this message will continue. You should've handled this like professionals. And, you certainly should've realized that black and brown people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. This time, you won't just get away with it. And, you know what you've done with your little smart ass comment? Now, you've pissed me the fuck off so I WILL post something new here more often each week. No respect? No FUCKING dollars. --Sugar

Kimora Lee Simmons: Baby Phat's Worst Enemy

When the news broke nearly 8 months ago that Kimora Lee Simmons and Baby Phat were parting ways, it is not an overstatement to say that all over the globe, people were shocked. Heck, some people still don't know, so the shock a thon continues. I was very disappointed in the way Kellwood Company, owners of Baby Phat (Phat Fashions) since 2004, handled the situation, but my how the tables have turned.

Before the split, I don't think I've ever seen Kimora receive so much love from the media in years. I mean, this woman is everywhere! She's so kind to take us along for the ride, always sending tweets to let us know what she's up to, and she seems happier than she's seemed in years.

I'm sure she and her team are working their asses off. That's probably an understatement. But, success only comes with a lot of hard work and she and her team are getting it done! She just launched her 6th fragrance (Luv Me), is getting ready to launch a skincare line (Shinto Clinical) and new children's line (Miyoki), is expanding her signature brands, KLS and Kouture by Kimora and generally appears to be asking, "Baby who?" as host after host after host shows her great respect and admiration as she goes on the media tour of all media tours. I LOVE it!

Take a look at just a few of the appearances from the past two weeks (below) and then head over to her still fairly new website to check out the rest, including a look inside one of those yummy Birkin bags she keeps on her arm. Even better things are over the horizon for Kimora. I know it. Kellwood Company screwed up. Kimora was Baby Phat. I think that they really thought that they were going to force her into obscurity. But, they can't possibly have ever had any interaction with her, and I don't know how that could be the case, because if there's one thing that any true KLSH supporter can attest to, it's that she doesn't do obscurity.

The more Kimora does these interviews and appearances, the more she chips away at Baby Phat's integrity. Pretty soon, the only place you'll be able to find it is at flea markets in Tijuana. I can hardly wait. Remember, do not buy any Baby Phat or Phat Farm clothing items. They didn't respect us enough to properly announce that Kimora was leaving, they don't deserve our dollars. Fugg em. Kimora's got more than enough ways for you to spend your money without giving Baby Phat a penny. --Sugar
