The Blue Stones, the banana stand and girls on film.

BANGLADESH: The fallout continues as some of the well known and high profile businesses scramble to save face and make changes to their business models. H&M and Wal-Mart are the latest to announce action plans. But as another plan is developed in Europe in response to the horrendous tragedies, most American companies are opting out. And now, a sneaker factory accident. 

QUICK HITS: Sexy times at the senior center. The sammich no one asked for. And the most Golden Girl ever.

OH HELLS NO: Forget the “man cave” you may or may not have. Some teens are getting their own wing.  And they’re ridiculous.

BEFORE YOU TRY OUT THOSE NEW SWIM TRUNKS: Fifty eight percent.  Fifty. EIGHT. Some of us just can’t bring ourselves to climb into public hot tubs and jacuzzis. It just seems too, uh, people-soup-like.

THERE’S ALWAYS MONEY IN THE BANANA STAND:

Netflix. Next week. Awesome.

ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES: 

Dappered faves (and Dappered readers) The Blue Stones have had some good things happen to them of late. Their song, “Make Your Move” was recently featured in Parks & Rec. They are currently on tour – in a sedan, you can peep the dates over here. And, best of all, they’ve served up a new video for their latest single. Congrats guys.

GIRLS ON FILM*:

  • If you are making an effort to tighten things up for the upcoming (or in some cases here already) less clothing more sunshine season ahead, I wanted to remind you about this post. I have just made the switch to the suggested salad myself.
  • And because you won’t be taking a dip in the local pool, you’ll have more time for reading. These look like terrific summer fare. 
  • Just in case you are considering certain summer clothing combinations, this is helpful.

    Nope! Just a fan. And they’re readers. And they dress well on stage.
