Yeah, but they don't hardly carry them in the stores. If you want a DD you have to mail order them. However C cup and under they'll have everything you want in every style they sell in store. And if your are a busty woman who is foolish enough to go in there and be sized by one of their "experts" they will sister size you down to 34/36C because that's a vanity size that most women "want" to wear. It appears to me that they purposely feature skinny but busty models whether natural or augmented and purposely put them a bras a cup or two too small so they have lots of excess cleavage bubbling out of the top.
I have no problem with the ads, but I do admit they are racy (because of the bouncing - MJ doesn't cavort around in his briefs). I don't see how they are marketing themselves to young girls at all, but even if they are not, they may or may not create image problems for them, but that's another thread. I seem to remember some controversy over Lane Bryant wanting to run a racy ad with one of their full figure models and it getting yanked whereas a similar VS spot ran in the same time slot. Maybe it was a publicity stunt, or maybe it was bias against big girls?
Sorry to hear that..I'm not sure where you are located, but ALL of my local VS stores carry these sizes. Both my daughter and I shop there for those sizes. Never had a problem.
I have no problem with the ads at all.
The average size women in the Dove commercials are sometimes in their underwear. The plus size ladies advertising Playtex are too. And they (gasp) move around. So because they are regular or on the plus side does that make them any less provocative than the VS commercial? I don't hear anyone complaining about them.
I think they all look just fine.
I'm not quite sure what you are asking, or if this is directed at me.
I think the difference between the Dove and Playtex is that those people are going for a more natural woman look with everyday comfortable underwear. The women aren't dolled up in makeup nor is their hair exotically styled. The VS women are generally making love to the camera, walking on a runway and generally acting seductively. There is definitely a difference in the way the ads are shot. The Lane Bryant ad had a plus size woman acting almost as provactive (or arguably more so) as they typical woman in a VS ad which is why I think it got the attention it did and why there is no real backlash about the Dove or Playtex ads.
Pardon my abruptness...but the kid sounds like he needs a male father figure in his life. For all I know, he may indeed have one, but the concerns you seem to have and express are something that single moms might have with their only teenaged son.
I have three sons and they are all fine, thank you. This has nothing to do with any of them. I think everyone is reading way too much into this subject.
They aren’t any more revealing than what can be seen at any beach or poolside. Some of the gals are a bit on the overly skinny side but that’s just me I suppose.
