If I Was a Guy, This Would Piss Me Off…

Watching late, LATE night TV with my nephew the other night, I stumbled across an infomercial for a slim & lift undergarment. Very off-putting. How hard is it REALLY to do 15 to 20 ab crunches, lay off the soda, & put the fork down sooner – every other day? Seriously! What a disappointment it would be to a guy who thinks he’s about to “behold” a firm, fit, toned naked body but instead, when she comes out of (insert whatever clothes changing location makes sense here) she has a small child’s worth of extra flesh around her middle & her rear that she had compressed & hidden inside a mega thick spandex girdle/bodyvice under her dress all evening. Friends, this is no better than that water bra that came out about ten years ago.

They should call this a LIEotard.

Just my opinion…

American Apparel – New Money for Old Rope

Has anyone paid much attention to the back page of The Dallas Observer?  Inevitably there is an ad smack-dab in the middle for a clothier called American Apparel.  Seriously, who is buying that overpriced, over-marketed, so-called ORGANIC shit?  I can get a purple t-shirt for 7 bucks at Old Navy and NOT have any discomfort from the cotton they use.

Don’t fall prey to this not-so-modern moda.  They want your money and they market to sheep who have been blinded by pop culture phrases like “vintage clothing”.  All they want is New Money for Old Rope.  Does The Emporer’s New Clothes ring a bell?  Pam Ewing might wear it, but that was 1985 and it was just a dream.  NOT to be confused with “the American dream” – which is what Harry Parnass, advisor to American Apparel, stated that the brand is selling. {1}

Dream? – Nightmare.  Consider this your wakeup! 

Hopefully you have paid a lot of attention and consequently NO money to this company. 

Just my opinion. Take it or Leave It.
