@labeled: Haha you're right. It's probably because the editor that wrote this doesn't have those stray black hairs around the nipples herself and was totally outraged by the idea of tweezing there.

@Duckface: I totally agree on the "ma'am"! I especially hate it (and "sir") when it's used to be pseudo-polite.

While reading this entire thread (you just have to love the irritation!) I discovered another expression that for some reason sends shivers of annoyance down my spine: insisting that all kinds of things "need to die". I read it here about 100 times. What the hell?

@BabyJane: Yes but TRUST NO 1! So it's hard to find :-(

Well the fact that they interviewed 40 000 boys and 1 (or 2?) girls probably didn't help either.

Both of these people are horrible!

I liked Sophie Dahl as a model (that opium ad!!!) and I liked her novel (she has real talent to go with the name, not just the name to go with the pr), so I'm curious to see what she's like "in person", on tv I mean. She seems nice and interesting, I hope her show will confirm that impression!

@tamarah: I just wipe it off with some toilet paper (if there isn't 2 liters of it of course) and sit down, and wash my hands afterwards. I don't like it but it's not that big a deal, it's just pee after all.

Well I once had a summerjob in the toilets of an amusement park, and I can tell you this: the men's toilets were MUCH more work than the women's ones. A women's toilet cubicle was likely to be as clean as ever after 15 users while I had to go into the men's ones with a mop every time it was used, almost. Those things…

@stoprobbers: You still can if you stay 35 foot away! Now to convert to meters to see how effective that would be...10...well, a loud voice will be needed to harass and intimidate from that distance but something tells me these people have enough loud voices between them to break the sound barrier.

@napalmnacey went as Nancy Lorenz before: Could you explain what's clueless about that? I got an image in my mind of a world where people walk around in button down shirts/jacket/top hat or topless with suspenders, and I realised I'd kind of like that...And as cait98 used just that image to describe why the ads are…

@h4nn4h: By the way, I think my statement still holds when you replace "underwear" by "clothes"! Yes!

@Caitfish: I was referring to the majorite of AA ads, but now that you mention it, they should be!

@cait98: I would totally love to live in a world where that was the norm for clothing. Really. Am I sexist now?

@snuggler: I know! The very idea of using sexy pictures to sell underwear...as if there could ever be any link between sex/looking sexy and underwear! What are they thinking...

@Dez.demona: "Shower curtain" was the first thought in my head after seeing this picture, too, but I actually kind of like it in a "wow space age" kind of way. On that model, anyway, I have my doubts about how flattering this would be on most bodies.

@Atomic Bowling: Plus, they have to stop production at some size. So they probably stop where needed? It may not be bias, it may just be based on facts about the airline employees, or something - that they're making uniforms to fit (nearly) everyone who works there now. It doesn't necesarrily say anything about our…

@starryeyedkid: I think she can! It looks cool on her and after the nineties passed, it's also exclusively hers. I like it!

Hahaha I would LOVE to date someone with a cat plate collection!

I'm not sure what a Slurpee is but I have to say, a less appealing name must be hard to find...
