Unlike some, the last thing I want is something that represents any celebrity or brand name. Don't want to do free advertising for any well known person, and wearing something with someone's name on it is a real turn off for me.

I won't even drive a car with the name of the dealership on it. I was told that they couldn't remove a name of a dealer once and I agreed to leave the name there, provided they pay me a $25.00 per diam fee for advertisiing for them or cancel the sale. They quickly found a way to remove the name. Buying a car from Smith/Jones dealer is no great source of pride for me.

Initials and name for me had best be mine or I'm not interested. And yes, I know I'm ridiculous about some things - this one included.

@Perkup Nothing about Oprah appears on the clothing, except the tag that detaches says it's from the Oprah line. You aren't wearing anything that advertises for her, so I'm not sure what the problem is. It is not free advertising for her.
But in spite of no outer information, I know what it says on the inside. I have a problem with celebs who drift iinto so many areas where they really aren't the oriiginators. I am pretty sure Oprah isn't a clothing designer. Just letting someone use her name.. Regardless it's not for me.

I think it says "Talbots" on the inside. Oprah isn't claiming to have designed anything. This is simply a partnership between Talbots and O, The Oprah Magazine in order to raise money for a cause to help women -- Dress for Success. As I mentioned in another post, the creative director for the magazine is the one featured in the video, and four "celebrity" women are the models and advocates for the cause. I don't think your objections really apply to this situation.
