  - I was surprised to find that Fred's wasn't nearly as skanky as I remembered it (when I used to walk by the stores in the mall as a teen). - kelly Jan 19, 19:18 5
    - their quality is *awful* on most intimate apparel, but I actually have some super cute fred's pajamas. - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 19, 19:21 1
      - if their quality is awful I would ditch them. -- nm - lileve Jan 19, 19:35

  - a college gf used to write copy for them - pigby just isn't that into you Jan 19, 19:13 1
