Is Style Stealing a Crime?

Posted at 11:04AM Oct 24, 2008 by Mac in Talent Advice

Ever notice someone ripping off your look? Like all of you, my personal style is a reflection of who I am. But sometimes I inspire imitators—a.k.a. Mac-alikes. As long as everyone knows I got there first, I don’t care who copies me. Usually by the time they do, I’ve moved on anyway. But am I being too kind? Is it flattery or fakery? You tell me.

Me too! I hate it when people try and rip off my style in a cheaper and tackier way! I guess it's flattering and all, but sometimes, it's a bit too much for me.

Yeah, I notice YOU ripping off MY style. So quit trying to be an alpha like me 'cause you're nothing but a LBR Massie-alike who's NUH-THING like me. When *I* look good, YOU look bad.

hey Mac your pretty cool but when it comes to being a look-alike your toally a look-alike to Massie Block!!!!!!!!!!

But Massie and Mac look totally different. Mac looks more like a California alpha. Massie is an east coast girl.

...I also love that Mac and the inner circle are from Bel-Air and have lots of Hollywood connections. The PC girls rule a lot, but they don't rule Hollywood.

i totally understand that feeling.....people copy my designs all the time,only they turn out like crap.so what i do is,ignore them.no stooping down to their level for me!

I totally love Talent! I like just finished it today, and already want the second book! I have to agree, it's a LOT like the Clique novels, and just as good. Lolz, I'm doing a book report on it. =D

Posted by Becky on November 02, 2008 at 02:19 PM EST #

Yeah! Seriously, you work so hard on your OWN designs,and it doesn't work. I know what Mac says, but I think I'm going to start making my own clothes like Paige and Emily. Hopefully they turn out to be more stylish, though. There aren't many actual clothes that suit my style! Come on! It's all Hello Kitty or just solid color. A lot of the stuff I like, I can't have. I do have some stuff that I like though. Seriously, there are some killer fabric shops here though so I can really rock out!

It's crazy these girls copy me and then take it for there own i think it's full out fakery, but it's halarious cause my friend Drew is like "do u just like spy on sydnie, or go into her closet and steel her clothes" it's halarious
