My Initial Reaction: You gotta be kidding me. | Video

Apparently there is a big brouhaha brewing over
a new Lane Bryant lingerie commercial.

Wanting to be fair to the situation, I sought
out what information I could. The initial
coverage made me think that the issue was
"too much cleavage," however it now seems it
was too much cleavage for the "family hour,"
plus the message was, according to some, too
risque.

I have always had ample cleavage, and I must
admit I was triggered by this, LOL. I used
to be in the corporate world, and more than
once I was criticized for how I dressed.

I never dressed inappropriately. I just
didn't dress to minimize what I had (not sure
how much I could have done that, even if I
tried). Most of those who had issues
(as far as I knew) were women, and they
didn't have what I had.

If they were the size I was, I'd like to see
how they would dress. Clothing is not made
for bigger sized women. Most things can't
help but highlight was is there.

As a side note, knowing what I know now...
I can't help but wonder what the men thought.
I am not usually one to make lines, but I
suspect in this case there might have been one.

Of course, this also begs the question in my
mind, why is this an issue in the first place?

What do you think?


Per a post comment, here is a Victoria
Secret commercial to compare the
above with.

I suspect part of the issue with Lane
Bryant were the suggestive words. It
could be hypocrisy but, as usual, since
I really don't know all the details, I
am willing to give the benefit of the
doubt, and just pose the questions.
