...And Speaking of Clothing
Here is a piece of advice, If you are over the age of 25 you should NEVER go outside without a bra. It's not sexy, it's nasty. Trust me on this one, I wouldn't lie to you about a thing like this.
Rant #5 BeBe Sport--just because they make it in your size................
Many of you may not be familiar with the retailer BeBe. BeBe is a trendy women's' clothing store whose close are mostly for going out and partying. You won't find anything there to wear to work, unless, of course, you work as a call girl. All of their clothes are tight and shiny and have the words "BeBe" spelled out in rhinestones on nearly everything.
BeBe has an offshoot store for "workout" attire not surprisingly titled BeBe Sport, which in this case is an oxymoron. The same theme applies, everything is tight and shiny. But instead of having "BeBe" in rhinestones, it now has "BeBe Sport."
BeBe Sport, as you may have guessed, is not for working out. BeBe Sport clothes are for gym bunnies. Gym Bunnies (and every gym has them) are those women who come out on the floor in full makeup, perfect hair (usually blonde), with cute, matching outfits--even the gym bag and shoes match, and they stand around hoping to find a date or a husband. Of course, what they don't know is all of the good looking men in any given gym are either gay or married, and often both. (As a good friend once told me, " you've got to suck a lot of d*!k to get abs like that!"). Most of the time these women are young, and cute, and slim, and don't need to workout all that much.
I am ok with all of this, but here is my problem with BeBe Sport. They've opened one directly across the street from my gym and every fat, middle-aged, lonely housewife within a 20 mile radius now squeezes their flabby ass into these tight and shiny outfits and I am visually assaulted every time I walk in the gym! It's nauseating. I would love to stand outside of their doors with a picket sign showing photos of size 18 women wearing tight belly shirts and spandex pants like those crazy right-to-life people who tout photos of aborted fetuses in front of WalMart.
So the moral of the story is: Just because they make it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it. In the case of BeBe Sport, if you don't look like the mannequin before you put on the outfit, you will not look like the mannequin afterward, let it go. That's why you are going to gym in the first place.
