Banana Republic is 'Blue'
How cool. I quit shopping at Anthropologie because they give most of their political donations to repugs, but Banana Republic, Old Navy, and Gap are Blue. Also, Barnes and Noble, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Starbucks are Blue.

I do not let everything I do be influenced by political donations, but it is good to know where some of the money you spend is going.

5. Clinique is owned by Estee Lauder which is Blue!!
Lauder owns lots of cosmetics companies including Origins and Prescriptives.

Good stuff.

6. Cool
I pretty much only use Clinique. My only "girly" quality is my use of makeup. Weird.

10. How did these ever make it "blue"
The Fisher family owns the three, with very heavy ties to the logging industry known for clearcutting practices in the redwoods of California.

It may be they have turned around, however I will never support the Fisher family after the evils they participated in concerning habitat and species extinction.
