My name is NOT Ralph
April 14, 2004 · Print This Article
Next time you’re bored, go to Google and type in “ralph lauren paint.” Yep, we’re usually near the top under that topic. Why? Because we wrote a couple of articles about the RL Paints we used successfully, and we keep a message board specifically devoted to that paint and the topics and problems associated with it. The odd thing is the number of folks who seem to think that we, the Fix Chicks, ARE Ralph Lauren. Truth be told, I have no idea if there even IS a real Ralph Lauren. Have you ever seen him? I haven’t. And besides, I think he was supposed to be a clothing designer. How his name got stuck on a can of paint, I don’t know.
Guys and gals, let’s put this in perspective - first of all it’s only paint. If you don’t like it, paint over it. It’s not PLAIN paint - it requires technique and patience to apply, but it’s not real texure. If you think you got ripped off, talk to the paint store where you bought the paint - perhaps they’ll be willing to exchange it for regular paint. If you’re really PO’d about it, call the customer service number on the paint can and ask for Ralph… I dare ya.
