My .00001 cent....thanks for asking

Should not have used the word knock off-
bad word--but many fashions you see (clothes
etc) to some degree get "inspiration"(better
word) from others...we see it online with
marketers as well....

So NO GORDON don't get KNOCK OFFS...but if
you do get jewelry just use some of the pictures
you see to get INSPIRATION...by the way the
people I saw were selling bags legitimately--
they were not the ones the police run after.
The corporations were supportive...

So my english on the web haunts me again: I
meant items which looked or felt in "synergy"
with others...

Very few things in life,including people, are
purely Genuine...

Thanks J Bradshaw for bringing this to my
attention...

My INTENT was to help not to get someone JAILED...
