If I were to guess, I would assume it's because of stuff like this happening:WastefulVegan wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 12:15 pmThank you for explaining! I still find this very weird. (in general trademarking every day phrases...)blondish wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 12:01 pmLots of everyday phrases are trademarked. Trademarking a phrase doesn't mean it can't ever be used, it just means it can't be used for similar goods (like fitness apparel) in which it gained secondary meaning. Whitney may not have a monopoly on that phrase, but it's definitely gained a secondary meaning in relation to her brand so legally, her trademark is justified.WastefulVegan wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 11:51 amI just don't get how you can trademark an everyday phrase like "it's a beautiful day to be alive"??? what is wrong with whoever accepted that?

Re: Whitney "It's a beautiful day to be orange" Simmons - Part 4
seriously? "hot fire flames" i could even understand but "it's a beautiful day to be alive" is something a lot more common to be used. I have read/heard it several timesilfiore wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 7:39 amdidn’t she copy that from desi and katy? lmaochubbybunny wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 7:09 amShe also trademarked "hot fire flames."WastefulVegan wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 11:51 amI just don't get how you can trademark an everyday phrase like "it's a beautiful day to be alive"??? what is wrong with whoever accepted that?
@blondish if you posted a picture or something could you post it again? I can't see it :/
Re: Whitney "It's a beautiful day to be orange" Simmons - Part 4
You can see it if you quote the message. It's just an amazon link to someone selling a shirt with the slogan Whitney trademarked.WastefulVegan wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2019 7:46 am@blondish if you posted a picture or something could you post it again? I can't see it :/

Thank you!
Well, a trademark will not stop that though Amazon marketplace, alieexpress, wish etc etc are notorious for counterfeits
Re: Whitney "It's a beautiful day to be orange" Simmons - Part 4
A few months ago, Dani mansutti used the phrase “it’s a beautiful day to be alive” in an Instagram caption and so many people came for her saying omg you’re copying Whitney Simmons blah blah blah.
(To be honest, Dani probably did copy it from her because she doesn’t have an original bone in her body) but it’s not like it’s a unique and profound saying.... trademarking it is ridiculous

I went on her IG after a long time today. All her thumbnails are either her butt in that stretched out position when it looks the biggest, her fupa or cameltoe.

She has 1.6 million subscribers and uploads a video, only gets 66,000 views in 9 hours yikes. She’s just so boring / repetitive

Instead of inserting a giant camel clipart in her video which made it nigh impossible to pay attention to what she was saying, maybe wear leggings that don't cause camel toe? Or just don't use that little clip? Use the rest that isn't from that angle? I get that she's more conservative, and that's perfectly fine, but I couldn't pay attention because there was just a... giant camel... slapped over the video.

Her lips in her new YT video were a little much. Is it just me or was her makeup aging her?

I don’t think I can even watch/follow her IG anymore because those brows are so atrocious! I can’t focus on anything else...

I feel like she would be less aggravating for me to watch if she didn’t talk the way she did. It’s great she’s upbeat and cheery but good lord.
Re: Whitney "It's a beautiful day to be orange" Simmons - Part 4
I don't mind hyper-cheery type of people when it's genuine cheeriness. I actually think it's refreshing in a world of whiners, crybabies, and drama-queens. However, I think what we're all having a negative response to are the subconscious cues Whitney is giving out that her cheeriness isn't genuine at all; it's just an act for youtube and insta. People can sense out this type of phony-ness and it gives off a big, inauthentic, faker vibe.
I guess it's working for Whitney now, but I do wonder how long she can keep it up.

One of the IG fitness gossip accounts posted a screenshot of Whitney replying to someone saying her brows are too dark and her response was "They're my natural color" but she's mentioned plenty of times before how she started getting her brows tinted...So girl, that's. a. lie.

Re: Whitney "It's a beautiful day to be orange" Simmons - Part 4
I agree and it makes me really upset. I wonder how tiring it is to keep up with your brand but at the same time if she was honest about her struggle or something I'd like it even moreGuest wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 10:04 amshe's sounding a lot more fake cheery these days though. like all the awkward "relatable" things she says sound so scripted and just cringe instead of charming or down-to-earth.
