"Unmentionables"
Isn't THAT an old-fashioned word? I love it. Yesterday , I trotted over to my local Victoria's Secret to buy new Unmentionables. I am, let's face it, voluptuous! I want good garments. BUT VS seems to think that only smaller, less "blessed", girls deserve cute sexy things. NOT! Every time I go into a store, the well meaning sales clerks, including guys, steer my aged body toward granny panties and what I call Kevlar bras. I want a BRA, not a bullet proof vest., I an not expecting an assassination attempt. Sheesh. Women of my size and age want to feel sexy- well I do. I may be over-sharing here, but like the mother in the comic 9 Chickweed Lane who wears jungle themed undergarments, I think it's nice to be comfortable AND sexy under your clothes. Is it too much to ask? Apparently. I told the girl yesterday I did not NEED any extra padding in my bras and she sadly said they didn't carry anything else in my size. Thankfully, the website did, but I think the stores are missing the point. The sales people work on a partial commission. Who has more money to spend? THAT'S RIGHT! Women "of a certain age" and size! I have given up going into their stores, which is sad, because I actually enjoy shopping. Well, sometimes. But I am not buying perfume or lotions from a website on the off chance I like it, and I am less likely to see new products there while I am looking for something. I have less "browsing" patience when I am home looking for a specific item than I would in a brick and mortar store. I wonder if that's just me, or if everyone feels that way?
