VLOGMAS DAY 9 2024, PURE EVIL The Lisa Frank Files (DEEP-DIVE) Capitalism, TOXIC Workplace, Art Theft, ETC... Today I talk to you about, The UNSOLVED / SOLVED True Crime Case Daily Stories, Of The Lisa Frank Company, I talk about how, So if you are into childhood nostalgia or the kidcore aesthetic you probably know what this company is and what I'm talking about, If you were a sticker lover, a colorful stationary connoisseur, or passionate about rainbows and neon colors in the 1990s and early 2000s, chances are you were obsessed with Lisa Frank, You would buy their folders and notepads for back to school supplies with the colorful animal designs on them, like the rainbow jaguar, rainbow tiger, or the golden cute retriever dog on it, etc, The brand's bright designs, plastered on everything from posters to backpacks, notebooks, and folders, captured the eyes and hearts of many kids of the era. The brand seemed to fade out a little bit but not much, but kidcore nostalgia has once again brought the passion back For women in their twenties, thirties, and forties, Frank’s name alone conjures up a specter of koala bears clinging to rainbow-flavored ice-cream cones, neon tiger cubs frolicking with surfing penguins, and, of course, majestic unicorns prancing before a swirl of hearts and stars. 

But the company is now a shadow of what it once was, and its fall from grace—a story of scandal, greed, —is in stark contrast to its shiny, happy aesthetic, the story behind the brand "wasn't all sugar spice unicorns rainbows and everything nice," Lisa Frank’s line of products—folders, pencil cases, erasers, Trapper Keepers, and notebooks—were so popular that the company was raking in over $60 million a year in sales during its peak in the late ’90s. According to court documents, shareholder distributions to Lisa Frank and James Green totaled more than $100 million between 1995 and 2005 alone, but then the company fell off HARD, So what exactly happened? Is this simply the inevitable outcome for a stationery company in a paperless world? Is what’s left just a rotting corpse of a fad that died over a decade ago? No, alleged former employees, who pointed to the company’s opportunity to capitalize on ’90s nostalgia. 

“Lisa Frank is notorious in Tucson as the world’s WORST employer,” said Caroline, who considered applying for one of the many job openings at the company she saw advertised when she moved to Tucson in 2001, but decided against it after speaking with locals. “Every single person I talked to advised me to avoid Lisa Frank at all costs,” she said. “I didn’t know a single person who had not heard horror stories about the work environment there.” “I don’t know if it’s possible to really communicate how bad their reputation was in town,”  The company allegedly often failed to give promised severance packages, fought unemployment benefits, and former employees had to sue for their final paychecks or sales commissions as evidenced by public records of numerous civil judgments entered against LFI, In addition to the bad publicity stemming from a series of lawsuits from local contractors and builders who claimed hadn’t been paid for $4 million worth of work on the corporate headquarters, LFI’s image problem stemmed from the company’s unusually high turnover rate, with numerous former employees available to poison the well with first-hand accounts of just how unpleasant it was to work there, According to Susan Russo, who worked as the Sales and Marketing Manager, “over 80 people walked out the door,” between February 2003 and December 2004, “most without notice because they had been treated so poorly, 

The Tale of Tasselfairy in Cloudland: Local Artist Charges Appropriation by Lisa Frank When fans began notifying her that Hotels.com website was advertising a special two-week pop-up room — The Lisa Frank Suite — she was dismayed to discover that it was virtually a replica of Cloudland and The copycat room would be located in a sister building directly across the street from her own residence! Owned by the same management company as her building (called Capital Foresight) this was, in her mind, no coincidence Mucciolo got the courage to email the Lisa Frank company to inquire about the coincidence They didn’t respond but did immediately erase all of Lisa Frank’s public Instagram complements to the artist. She was thankful that she had taken screen shots. “It broke my heart, because I’m kind of naive. I trust everyone,” she says. Later she was served eviction papers from her building’s management company during the Lisa Frank drama, ETC!!!
