Oh yeah. Once you’re out of the womb and safe from an abortion, you are on your fucking own, babies!

And here is my United/World of Love line:
My heart sank a little bit. The World/United States of Love line that I created is one of the reasons that I was able to quit my full-time job. They even stole the item name as well as some of my copy.
I’m very disappointed in Urban Outfitters. I know they...
