I'm blogging a little bit about fashion. I figure I'm in the industry so I can talk about this. When I lived with my old roommate who worked at Victoria Secret, they began testing bra that we all know now as the Bombshell. The Bombshell touts being able to increase the appearance of the size of one's breasts by two cup sizes. It does this through very extensive padding. It's less of a bra and more of a shelf really.
When these bras came out, my roommate and I were both turned off by them already having an adequate amount of breast (why they even make them in D cups, I will never know). But we decided that the bras are a little dishonest. As a guy, how pissed would you be if the girl you thought was rocking a D cup pops the clasp on the bra to reveal B cups? I mean really?
Well, Victoria Secret has taken it one step further, in case anyone was questioning your true breast size whilst wearing one of their Bombshell bras. If someone has accused you of wearing the Bombshell, well you just show them. Show them some nipple.That's right, Victoria Secret has taken too far to a whole new level. I give you the Bombshell with nipples. This bra not only gives you two cup sizes in size but it also provides nursing-mother sized nipples! What more could you want for snaring a man? Never mind that he'll think you're a dirty liar when he gets the bra off of you and realizes you have A cups with bug bites.
I'm pleading with you Victoria Secret, stop the madness! Stop making us feel like our boobs have to be up at our chin in order to be sexy. Stop making every woman feel like we have to look curvaceous to be sexy. Beautiful can be athletic. It can be curvy. It can be pear-shaped. It can have little nipples or webbed boobs.
So stop the False Advertising. No woman who hasn't experienced some form or breast altering sickness (pregnancy not included) needs to wear this. It's absolutely ridiculous. Ok, I'm done now.
it is pretty ridiculous... i was in arizona over the summer and the store there was 'testing them out' sales-wise and even the women working there were like this is a joke, right?! ugh. no me gusta.
ReplyDeleteOMG Mandi and I saw these on the semi annual sale and were totally appalled! What is with the plastic nipples. And, I think I saw on the sign they make them in DDs too. Explain.
ReplyDeleteI could go on a long, long, LONG rant on VS, but I'll save it for now.
