Fredericks

So, my Fredericks of Hollywood catalog came in the mail the other day.  While looking through the catalog I kept thinking “now that looks comfortable”, can you tell how sarcastic I’m being.   Now don’t get me wrong I really do like some of the things in their catalog but some of the items leave me perplexed.   Of course if I looked like the models I would probably parade around all day long in lingerie and heels.  But since I don’t and neither do most of the women I know I’m still a little perplexed by some of the items in the catalog such as  . . .
I always thought that panties were supposed to cover certain parts of your body so how does having a piece of lace running all the way up your crack and then ending at the top of your backside with a big bow be considered panties.  Doesn’t the bow show the bow show through your clothes?  What really leaves me wondering are the ones that not only go up your crack but have what appear to be straps going across your backside.  I’m sure someone finds these comfortable or at least sexy.  Same thing with crotch less, I thought that was one area that was supposed to be covered.  I guess I’m showing my age but give me something that doesn’t show my panty line while covering things that I think should be covered.
Let’s talk about their heels.  Most of their heels are 4 – 6 inches high.  My foot is only about 8 inches long so to wear a heel that is 6 inches high means that I’m walking around on my tip toes, talk about being comfortable.  I would be afraid that I would fall on my face, which would make a lasting impression however I don’t want to be known as the lady who planted her face on the pavement.  Why can’t flat’s or shoes with a 1 inch heel be considered sexy?
Now on to the clothes, or what they consider clothes.  Who was the brilliant person that came up with the rhinestone top, where do you wear something like this?  I could just imagine showing up at the office in this.  The looks I would get.  Not to mention who is going to take you serious in something like this.  This top looks like a basketball net made of rhinestones so let’s just say that it doesn’t cover much and leaves nothing to the imagination.  I guess I could always wear it with a rhinestone skirt which would distract from the top, or maybe not.
So while I sit here perplexed I still keep thinking about what I’m going to order and how cool this stuff is.  So next time you see me walking around on 4-6 inches taller with my rhinestone top and skirt on and pulling at my butt crack you know that my order from Fredericks has come in and I’m proudly wearing it.
