Victoria's Secret is... too sexy!

I heard this on the radio, then had to find the article. CNN is the source for this quote:

"We've so much gotten off our heritage ... too sexy, and we use the word sexy a lot and really have forgotten the ultra feminine," said Sharen Turney, Victoria's Secret's chief executive, in a call with industry analysts."

A deeper read in the artlce shows that they went "too young...".

Whew, I was worried there for a minute. ~Tom.

Don't look... Ok, you can look.

Weird. Austin is weird...? Follow our links to these weird titles on Amazon.

Now that is weird.

Amazon provides suggestions based on your user profile. I wonder what combination of clicks led them to offer this particular suggestion. I did take a look at some of the related titles. My goal is to go out and find something (anything) similar here in Texas. Of course, I will skip the Texas Roller Girls.

If you or your friends are dressing like this... well, I can't decide if this is fashion (uber-style) or faux pas.

What do you think?

The Bride Wore... her ego.

The New York Times has a recent article describing the new "sexy" bride (story here).

Yes, the wedding is about the bride. But it also about the groom, and both families. The NYT's bride is an ego centric "bridezilla", self-centered and vain.

Why not be a beautiful bride? Why not appeal to all family members, why not enjoy the tradition? Why not be hot for the bachelorette party, and perfect for the wedding?

Why not?
