RE: i got a

When you say a big girls catalog, are you talking size 12-16 or something like that. I don't consider this big girls stuff. Or are you talking 20+ sizes.

I know I probably shouldn't say this but there are bigger people on this forum and saying you received a big girls catalog may hurt some people's feelings. Not everyone is a small person. I know I may get "yelled" at but I am a bigger girl and workout just as hard as a lot of the smaller girls do but I tend to stay big.

Hi Rhonda,

Rach and I were not talking about the same catalog as Jes. We were just commenting on other catalogs...and I'm sure Jes meant no harm. She's a sweetheart. Please don't take offense. :)

PS-I'm not "yelling" at you.:+


Have a great work out!

They have this VS commercial that makes me wonder how it's possible to get hipbones show like that! You could measure straight across from one point to the next. What I'd give to have no body fat!!!

RE: i got a

Personally I HATE the VS commercials. Even though I like the product a lot, I think the marketing is skanky and designed to propogate an unrealistic ideal of the woman's body which most women can never hope to attain. (Of course, some of you have, and hats off to you!) Have you ever called in an order to their 1-800 number? The automated voice which answers has this sexy French accent... I just think they are too much.

I also have two young boys in the house and it is difficult to explain to them why it is okay for these women to prance about on TV in their underwear during commercials. Of course, my 13 year old now totally tunes me out when they are on, LOL.

Anyway, not trying to offend anyone. I just oppose marketing that is designed to make me feel bad about my mortal coil.

Cheers,
Marie

RE: i got a

I agree, Marie! This has always bugged me...

Women are exploited for thier sexuality in today's society ALL of the time! No wonder women and girls have body image problems!!! It is OKAY for a woman not to have the "PERFECT" body..and besides, why should any one person or group get to choose what is considered "PERFECT" anyway!

If you ask me, if you are happy with yourself then you are perfect...wether that is in a size 2, 12 or 22...it shouldn't matter!

JMHO.

Have a great work out!

RE: i got a

RE: i got a

The catalogs or mail that bugs me more is the senior citizens or AARP ones... Come on - I am still in my 30's ~ hehe... I dont need reminders that I am getting older.... How did I even get on these lists - LOL.....
 
RE: i got a

I thought you meant a catalog for adults. Like maybe business suits and career wear. Ha ha. I'm so clueless!

Wendy,
I've ordered clothes and swim suits from Venus. I really don't care for the quality of their clothes. The materials used is "cheap". and they don't hold up well after washing. The swim suits are very good though - IMO. :D

RE: i got a

Hey,
Wait till they start sending things saying I see you still haven't joinedx( . When my dh gets mail he doesn't want, including all of those preapproved credit card things, he puts return to sender and sends them back to them. Maybe afterwhile they will get the hint.

RE: i got a

Diane: my fil gets thoses AARP things all the time and he got one from a hearing aid company the other day! i find it quite ammusing b/c he gets so pissed! he's only 55.

Rhonda: i am talking about much larger sizes that 12-14. i am NOT one of the small people around here. :) i'm still aspiring to be.

donna: you are clueless at times! i love it! :D

wendy: don't worry, you'll be back in bikinis in no time mama!

RE: i got a

I get AARP mailings and I'm only 48. I'm not sure, but I think maybe if someone in your household is older, like your spouse or a parent, they automatically send it to you as well. I'm not sure what age they start, but regardless, doesn't bug me in the least. Getting old sure beats the alternative! :D
 
RE: i got a

The time to freak out is when they send you Fredericks of Hollywood catalogs. Cheap! nasty! tacky! tarty! Ugh!

I get inundated with catalogs of furniture, expensive couture, beauty products, bed linens, kids' furniture, etc. Don't these people know I am an impoverished grad student?!!!
