Lily, Thanks for your detailed response. I checked your work on modelmayhem.com. I also signed up on your shop's home page. Great work... really! We need to take our eyes off of Liya kebede now...I couldn't see your open house in Georgetown cos I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. It'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'm saying. Happy New year to y'all OMG! Lily,

How about ignoring the French train and saying something positive about this new hot design? And, you really can'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're taking this a liiiitle too seriously... Joyeuses Fetes! = Happy Holidays :-) DD,

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 "wanna be's" blabbing without taking into consideration others. What i see here from Ethiofrance wanna be's is a true reflection of arrogant Ethiopians where you find in the store, at the bar, restaurant, school.... When you're around with this kind of people, believe me they don'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't speak ethiopian native language, you know what exactly i'm talking about. I’m not questioining much who you’re targeting, though.
