^ Same. We should all get together and start a club. :baronlamesign:
"Michelle Noble, why?" I say. "Michelle Noble, why weren't you my mother? Why weren't you there to have this conversation with me when I was 14? I was exposed to underwear with cheeky saying with them, but I did not turn into a confident intelligent young women. Why weren't you there for me?" Michelle Noble of Calgary, Alberta has shown me the light. I'm a young women pursuing a university level education in the field science and history, however, we never had this conversation and I was exposed and dragged in by the underwear with the cheeky sayings on them, ergo, by default, I am not a confident, intelligent young woman, but a shallow, ignorant wench. I wallow in my provocative and uncontrolled feminine shame as I wait for Norman Reedus to impregnate me through my television with his virile portrayal of Daryl Dixon while starting my 12th episode of The Walking Dead today. I cannot be tamed. VS has obviously corrupted me. "WHY?" (God, all this drama is so much, I really need to start coming back to BZ more often )
I'll keep shopping there so long as they keep sending me vouchers for free pairs of underwear.
^ PINK already has push-up bras sized 30 A and 32 AA, which is basically the same thing. Also, take into account that PINK bras tend to run small anyway, meaning that if you're a size B in a regular VS bra, you'll probably have to buy a size C at PINK. Believe me, I've seen those AA bras before... They're training bras.
The thing that really gets me curious about all of this is why even bother to launch the collection all together? I will openly admit that I have been buying VS brand bras and underwear since I was about 13-14 years old and not because wearing it makes me feel like a "mature, sexy, empowered woman" but because, quite frankly, their clothes fit me and are comfortable. And c'mon, perhaps this is feeding a little bit into VS's "sexualizing of prepubescent girls" thing, but what female in general doesn't feel awesome wearing a neon colored bra or a bright colored pair of underwear with a funny saying on the butt? If I tell you, whenever I go into the Victoria's Secret store at the mall, the majority of customers in there aren't adult females "searching to release their inner sexual beast with some lingerie", but mostly teenage girls and their friends ripping apart the underwear carousel because VS sends its customers new vouchers for a free pair of panties every other hour and a half. That or mothers and their teenage daughters doing some "mother-daughter-onding-shopping" or something. I'm no economist or business major here, but I feel like, especially in recent years, VS has moved away from the "practicality" of their lingerie and towards the "marketability" of their products, meaning that, while their bras may not be the most comfortable or best fitting, they're colorful and fancy and elaborate and will appeal to the consumer, particularly in this sense, to the younger consumer. If you're looking for a really, REALLY great bra, try some place like Macy's or Soma (No, seriously, try Soma; their shit is incredible). If you're looking for a bra that looks pretty so that when you're out to lunch with your girlfriends you can discretely pull out your bra strap and say "Hey, look at how pretty my bra is today!", try VS. Granted, though, I'm just a young adult myself, so if anybody "older" would care to elaborate or shine some light on the situation I would really appreciate it. Basically, VS must know already that they're attracting the high school aged demographic without even trying, so, why bother making an uppity about it and explicitly stating it?
