IF YOU CAN REMEMBER A FEW MONTHS AGO, THERE WAS A BOYCOTT OF HER PRODUCTS OR AT LEAST A BOYCOTT OF CERTAIN RETAIL COMPANIES THAT SELL HER PRODUCTS AND THAT COULD'VE PLAYED A ROLE BUT NORDSTROM IS SAYING THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IVANKA TRUMP OR HER FATHERíS POLITICS, SHE JUST HASN'T REALLY BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB IN SELLING HER PRODUCTS AND WE NEED TO REFRESH OUR INVENTORY. AS RECENTLY AS THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER, 71 DIFFERENT IVANKA TRUMP PRODUCTS WERE AVAILABLE ON THE NORDSTROM'S WEBSITE. LAST WEEK, THAT NUMBER DROPPED TO 26. ON WEDNESDAY, NINE PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO A SPOKESPERSON AT NORDSTROM, EACH YEAR WE CUT ABOUT 10% OF BRANDS CARRIED AND REFRESH OUR ASSORTMENT WITH ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT.IN THIS CASE, BASED ON THE BRAND'S PERFORMANCE, WE DECIDED NOT TO BUY IT FOR THE SEASON. I WONDER, I WISH THERE WAS A BETTER WAY TO GAUGE IT. IS THIS JUST A NORMAL FALLOFF OR SOMETHING LIKE SOMETIMES PRODUCTS FALL OFF. MAYBE THEY FOUND SOME STITCHES WERE ALWAYS MISSING OR MAYBE IT WAS BADLY MADE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEYíRE MADE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE AN ACTUAL GAUGE AND READOUT OF HOW MAYBE PEOPLEíS PUSH, WHAT DO THEY CALL IT? INTERNET ACTIVISM, HOW MUCH HASHTAGS PUSH THIS BECAUSE I HAVE CRITICIZED THEM, WHEN WE TRIED TO BOYCOTT CHICK-FIL-A AND STUFF. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO EAT IT, ITíS GOING TO HAPPEN. HERE'S THE THING. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH AN OFFICIAL BOYCOTT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS BUT I DO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION AND PEOPLE ARE VERY HYPERAWARE OF DIFFERENT PLAYERS AND WHAT THEY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH AND WHAT THEY MIGHT BE SELLING US, AND SO FOR ME, I LOVE THE BOYCOTT BUT I DIDN'T PUSH FOR IT AND I DIDN'T CONSIDER MYSELF OFFICIALLY PART OF IT, BUT I WAS AT MARSHALL'S A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I LOVE MARSHALL'S, THAT IS MY JAM. THAT IS WHERE YOU FIND SOME REALLY GOOD BRAND-NAME STUFF FOR LESS. KEEPING IT 100 THAT IT'S ROSS DRESS FOR LESS, NOT MARSHALL'S. I LIKE MARSHALL'S AND T.J. MAXX A LITTLE BETTER THAN ROSS. IT'S ALL UNDER THE SAME BELLADONNA THAT'S IN THE POST AND I WILL FIGHT ABOUT IT. I WENT TO THE CLEARANCE RACK AS I NORMALLY DO AND I SAW A FEW DRESSES THAT I REALLY LIKE AND SAY GOING TO THE DRESSING ROOM TO TRY THEM ON AND OF COURSE YOU ARE GOING TO SEE WHAT THE LABEL IS AND IT WAS IVANKA TRUMP AND I HAVE TO BE HONEST, I LIKE THE STYLE THAT SHE PUTS OUT THERE, IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I LIKE TO DRESS IN BUT AS SOON AS I SAW THAT LABEL, MADE IN CHINA, DIDN'T EVEN TRIED ON THOUGHT I WAS LIKE I'M NOT GOING TO BUY THE STAR AT A MAKE A BIG STINK ABOUT IT BUT IT'S JUST ME PRACTICING ACTIVISM THROUGH CONSUMERISM, THERE MY MONEY. I COULD FIND CUTE DRESSES MADE HERE IN AMERICA THAT WILL COST ME A LITTLE MORE AND MAYBE I WON'T FIND THEM AT MARSHALL'S, BUT I WOULD RATHER DO THAT THAN SUPPORT ANYTHING INVOLVING TRUMP. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE STORY SPECIFICALLY IS THAT IT TRULY PUSHED ME OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE BECAUSE EARLIER TODAY I FOUND MYSELF LOOKING AT WOMEN'S SHOES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS. MY MOM IS GOING TO BE VERY THRILLED THAT SHE'S LIKE THERE'S HOPE THAT IN ANY CASE, I WAS LOOKING AT SORT OF THE PRICE POINTS OF WHAT HER LINE CAUSE AND EVERYTHING AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST FEW MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A MAJOR NOSEDIVE AND HOW MUCH THEY'RE COSTING COMPARED TO HOW THEY WERE PRIOR TO THE ELECTION. THERE HAS TO BE A CORRELATION THERE. I WAS TALKING TO AN EDITOR OUTSIDE BEFORE WE CAME INSIDE SHE SAID SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS REALLY FUNNY. SHE SAID THEY LOOK LIKE THEYíRE HILLARY CLINTON SHOES AND I SAID, THAT'S FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT BECAUSE THESE ARE ACTUALLY IVANKA TRUMPíS SHOES. THE OTHER THING COMMON TO YOUR POINT ANA, I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND OF MINE AS SHE WAS GOING TO AN INFORMATIONAL BUSINESS LUNCH WITH SOMEONE SHE DIDN'T KNOW AND THEY WERE TALKING AND SHE NOTICE AT THE END OF THE ONCE OF THE GIRL WAS WEARING IVANKA TRUMP SHOES AND THEY HAD A REALLY NICE BUSINESS LUNCHEON MEETING BUT SHE WAS TALKING TO ME AFTERWARD AS SHE WAS SAYING I WONDER IF THAT ALIGNS WITH HER POLITICALLY. I COULDN'T TELL AND IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER BUT IT'S CALLED INTO QUESTION BECAUSE SHE WAS WEARING THE SHOES. WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE ARE BOYCOTTING IT BECAUSE THEY HATE DONALD TRUMP OR BECAUSE THEY LOVE HILLARY CLINTON OR WHATEVER, I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BECAUSE JUST ABOUT WEARING CLOTHING LINE THAT ALIGNS SO OBVIOUSLY WITH THE POLITICAL PARTY IN POWER RIGHT NOW. I WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY SALES MIGHT BE DECLINING FOR NORDSTROM TO MAKE THIS NATURAL CONCLUSION THAT WE NEED TO TAKE IT OFF THE RACKS. I HONESTLY, MAYBE I WOULD, IT FEELS TRENDY THE WAY SOMETHING WITH OBAMA ON A BUT THERE IS A SLUSHER THIS IS MELIA. IT SAYS IT'S OKAY, WE ALL SMOKED I TOTALLY WANT TO GET THAT SLUSHER BATTER KNOW IF I WOULD WEAR THAT DURING HIS PRESIDENCY BECAUSE YOU JUST DON'T ONE ALIENATE ANYONE YOU COULD MEET. DON'T WALK UP TO SOMEONE AND BE LIKE HERE, JUDGE ME BASED ON MY POLITICAL VIEWS. I AM FASCINATED BY A FEW THINGS. CAN YOU GUYS RECOGNIZE A VODKA TRUMP SHOES BY LOOKING AT THEM? IT WAS ON THE BOTTOM OF WERE THE HEEL GOES, THE LITTLE CURVED CREVICE OF THE FOOT. THIS IS ROMANTIC. THE SOLE OF THE SHOE, THEY GO. ITíS SAY IVANKA TRUMP AND SHE NOTICED, OR MAYBE WHEN HER LEGS ARE CROSSED. MAYBE SHE HAD A CRUSH ON HER AND SHE HAD A FOOT FETISH AND SHE WAS LOOKING AT HER FEET. LOOK, SHE HAS CUTE STUFF IN HER LINE. I WOULDN'T IMMEDIATELY MAKE A JUDGMENT ABOUT ANYONE WEARING IT BECAUSE MAYBE THEY JUST LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS LATER REALLY CARE THAT MUCH ABOUT POLITICS. DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE IF THEY DO WEAR THAT LABEL BUT AGAIN, CONSUMERISM MATTERS AND YOU CAN FLEX YOUR POWER BASED ON WHAT YOU ARE AND AREN'T WILLING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON. FOR ME IT WAS A MORAL ISSUE. WASN'T JUST THE FACT THAT THE LABEL SAYS IVANKA TRUMP, IT ALSO SAYS MADE IN CHINA. I GOT A TIE THAT WAS DONALD TRUMP AND MADE IN CHINA AND IT WASN'T A GOOD TIE. LIKE MOST TIES YOU BUY WITHOUT LOOKING AND THEN I HAD WORN IT TWICE AND I LOOKED AND SAW IT IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE. THIS IS WAY BEFORE HE WAS EVEN ANNOUNCING HE WAS RUNNING OR ANY OF THAT STUFF. I WAS LIKE THIS IS A SHIT TIE, NOT BECAUSE I HATE TRUMP BUT JUST BECAUSE IT WAS BAD QUALITY. LASTLY, IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER, THERE WAS AN AD THAT CAME OUT WHEN OBAMA WAS IN OFFICE AND THEY PUT A BILLBOARD OF OBAMA WEARING A JACKET AND THEY WERE LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO TAKE THAT DOWN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PUT A PRESIDENT IN YOUR APPAREL TO SELL BECAUSE THEN IT IS AN UNFAIR PUSH. YOU CAN'T USE THE PRESIDENT AS YOUR MODEL BASICALLY AND SO I DON'T KNOW THIS STARTS CROSSING LINES OF - SHE'S NOT IN OFFICE, BUT IF HE STARTS TRYING TO WEAR CERTAIN THINGS. ACTUALLY, THAT WOULD BE THE MOST MINOR CROSS SO FAR. I WOULD LOVE IT IF HE STARTED WEARING IVANKA TRUMP DRESSES. I THINK THAT WOULD BE A BOLD MOVE. I WOULD BE ODDLY IN FAVOR OF IT. I WOULD LOVE OUR FIRST DRAG QUEEN PRESIDENT.
