1. I can confirm that the lady who said she's from NYC is currently in NYC as the IP she logged into today is originating out of NYC.
2. Members here are not "sensitive" but are protective. Too many have dealt with the owners and friends of companies such as GoGo Girlfriend or Posh Pod or Box Monthly (among other companies). So far the products in the Starlooks boxes have been good - I don't see any real complaints about how crappy the products are as I've seen in other threads about other companies.
3. The only major concern members had - which essentially started the arguments between the members and Starlook reps - have been over a picture sent in this month's boxes of a woman in her underwear which some may have found to be offensive or inappropriate while others were simply questioning why such an image was in the box. Keep in mind not everyone has a Facebook and wouldn't know the purpose of the image.
4. Even though these are forums it's ALWAYS a good idea for people to disclose if they're working for a company directly, if they're affiliated with them, friends with the owners or get the products for free. FTC guidelines are some what clear on what is and isn't allowed but it is clear that when in doubt just disclose it.
My advice is just to let things settle down for a few days and move forward. If those members here who currently subscribe to Starlooks continue to their subscriptions they're more than welcome to discuss the items they get. Just remember everyone has an opinion and even if you disagree with it no one has the right to tell someone they're wrong for it. The MUT forums are for people to give their opinions on the products they buy - the good, the bad and the ugly.
