Last night I was watching tv with Megan and a commercial came on that totally confused me. This is not so hard to do anymore. This whole world is a confusing place!! But anyway, the advertisement was for the ladies store "Chicos." I like Chicos. They have cute stuff. Perfect for the over 35 crowd and great for the , "I am between middle age and ancient set." There new line of pants are called the "slimming" pant. Now, I have curves, bulges, lines and the like. I am short so therefore my weight doesn't have that far to distribute. I like the idea of a slimming pair of pants. A whole lot. But as I watched the ad it came to me. None. Not one of these women needed slim anything. They were downright scrawny. I am sure none of them even weighs 105 lbs. Let alone they are each at least 5'10". The average woman is 5'4" and is a size 14. Thank you Jesus, I am under average in the size range (as of yet) but, am right on target in the height area. Why can they not use a model that actually needs slimming pants??? I love the "Dove" commercials that use real women to sell there body wash and lotions. They look like me...and bet they look like you!! I am all for looking good in your clothes. But let's get real people. REAL!!! Most women I know have saggy something(s) and dry skin and freckles and bulgy spots and all kinds of issues. I would be so more apt to buy products from companies that just showed me what they had to offer that would work for me. My body type, my body needs. I really do not want to hire a seamstress to remake the fancy new slimming pants that I would probably be paying sixty-five plus dollars for. Watch the commercial and see how much these pretty women do not need "slim pants."
See what I mean?? These gals can slide right into "skinny" jeans. Which, by the way I feel should be outlawed unless you are under eleven years of age. Oh my, I need to go find my stretchy pants....right now!
