Photo Hunt: Curvy

Two things, real women have CURVES and calling them "overweight" and "obese" is not going to get them flocking to your store... just some unsolicited advise from a gal that knows marketing.

Now, I put up with a lot from places I shop, but being insulted BEFORE I even step foot inside? I think I'll pass on you, lululemon atheltica

What the?!?! Interesting advertising ploy... I would be walking past too.

Liz Hinds said...

What a terrible thing to use as 'advertising'!! Have they gone bankrupt yet?

Real women do have curves - I certainly do!

Great post and shot for curves. That is bizarre for a store to do that.

I love Lululemon...I can't believe they did that!!! Ah well, I shouldn't be spending money there anyway

PS. It has been a really tough week for the naps, what gives?

I agree with you.

LOL...I actually went shopping yesterday and came home empty handed. if you're not a perfect size 6 you jave two choices: t-shirts and baggy sweaters which all seem to have horizontal stripes. You would think if 2/3 of a population is plus sized, they design for them and not the 4 skinny poeple left in the world
