If all the peoples wear only the T-shirts, how will the weaver eat? How will the weaver buy a house? La BellaDonna, if she should want the T-shirt, could buy it undyed from the Dharma Trading, or in the colours and embellishments from the Newport News. La BellaDonna, she is all for the realism, but in real life, she does not wear the T-shirts. Providing the more T-shirts for the Workers of the World to wear is not necessarily the big favour to the Workers of the World as all that.

Needless to say PR2 is sadly lacking. So very tired of all these seamstresses/drama queens/"sensitive"/visionaries. Thank you Jay for being real and for seeing through all the pretentious world of designer wanabees. Jay's true gift was being able to laugh at himself. Jay was the only reason I watched PR1.

You really develop your own sense of self very early on. Plus you can get lots of great stuff at thrift stores.
