		<description>OMG! Lily, 

Thanks for your detailed response. I checked your work on modelmayhem.com. I also signed up on your shop&#039;s home page. Great work... really! We need to take our eyes off of Liya kebede now...I couldn&#039;t see your open house in Georgetown cos I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. It&#039;s smart of you to use your modeling access to buy stuff for your shop.

Bernos staff,

I love your tees, the theme and the quality is great! However, I like to wear something feminine. It would be great if you start same theme and design in a spaghetti top or something like a little revealing. I hope u understand what I&#039;m saying.

Happy New year to y&#039;all</description>

		<description>DD,

Lighten up, it&#039;s Christmas!!!

How about ignoring the French train and saying something positive about this new hot design?

And, you really can&#039;t blame only Ethiopians for doing that.  Ever tried being around Senegalese folks? Try it!  Everyone does it - maybe not an excuse, but I think you&#039;re taking this a liiiitle too seriously... 

Joyeuses Fetes! = Happy Holidays :-)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not questioining much who you&#039;re targeting, though. I was trying to get some sense from people who bought the tee , their shopping experiance with Bernos in the past what not and here i found out that &quot;wanna be&#039;s&quot; blabbing without taking into consideration others. 
What i see here from Ethiofrance wanna be&#039;s is a true reflection of arrogant Ethiopians where you find in the store, at the bar, restaurant, school.... When you&#039;re around with this kind of people, believe me they don&#039;t care who speaks what and no apology what so ever and they just ignore you and continue with their native language. For those of you who don&#039;t speak ethiopian native language, you know what exactly i&#039;m talking about.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;110476&quot;]D.D;
You make it sound like there is something wrong with targeting a Market Base. When someone decides to make something to sell, then they are targeting a certain type of people.

Lets say Armani decides to make maternity wear.. obviously they is choosing a market with pregnant people. Damn them, armani is not inclusive and they are discriminating and showing lack of consideration for those that are not pregnant...  I agree betam arif argument....

This was if we actually were targeting french speakers. we are not, roughly 40% and growing of our customer base is non-ethiopians. And from the Ethiopians that buy bernos tees, I would argue that 1/4 of them don&#039;t speak amharic. Some a different language some only english because they have been away for a long.

If when we did a tshirt that said Desta Keremela, are we shutting down those who don&#039;t know what that means? by all means you decide..[/quote]

You sound like a politician..do you or do you not agree with D.D&#039;s comment? Your thought seems scattered.</description>

		<description>[quote comment=&quot;110454&quot;]For all EthioFrance wanna be&#039;s! what you&#039;re showing here is that your usual unconsiderate Ethiopian behaviour again and again. This&#039;s what exactly what&#039;s happening among Ethiopians when they speak their own native language and they&#039;ve no problem at all shutting off everybody else.
The guy chose to sell a t-shirt under the title &quot;d&#039;afrique&quot; and suddenly we all became french here. Who he&#039;s targeting as a buyer? I guess, Lycee crowd.[/quote]


&lt;strong&gt;I couldn&#039;t agree with you more.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Salut! 
Énormément content de rejoindre des anciens élèves du Lycée  G/M. Big up Lycéens !! Une école inoubliable et précieuse ! Ca fait un peu près huit ans que j’ai terminé le secondaire. Mais vous savez que mes souvenirs de cette école sont toujours frais et profondément joyeuses. L’école primaire, le terrain (Mr Nolawi/ Mr Tesfaye)… La permanence  au secondaire (toutes les conneries), les partys, les mamités…Le stade, les bâtiments …La trouble pendant les conseils de classes au secondaire ! Les fameux élèves (précisément l’équipe de basket, les jolies fillettes), les cours d’EPS, les faites de trimestre ! Oh la la! Et avant tous les chers copains et les profs. Quelle joie, quelle liberté…des mémoires absolus…
Bon j’ai fini pour l’instant ! Au revoir!</description>
