...you can thank whoever is the head buyer for the women's section. The last 2 years or so the clothes have been hideous.

Eight years prior to founding Victoria's Secret, Raymond was embarrassed when purchasing lingerie for his wife at a department store. Newsweek reported him looking back on the incident from the vantage of 1981: "When I tried to buy lingerie for my wife," he recalls, "I was faced with racks of terry-cloth robes and ugly floral-print nylon nightgowns, and I always had the feeling the department store saleswomen thought I was an unwelcome intruder."

During the 1970s and 1980s, most women in America purchased "dowdy", "pragmatic", "foundation garments" by Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, and Jockey in packs of three from department stores and saved "fancier items" for "special occasions" like honeymoons. "Lacy thongs and padded push-up bras" were niche products during this period found "alongside feathered boas and provocative pirate costumes at Frederick's of Hollywood" outside of the mainstream product offerings available at department stores.


(and isn't Kohl's run by the Dem Senator? do the freepers not even realize that's who it's named for?)

The day the man was elected, 35% of America went completely insane and has not recovered.

The other day these filthy fucking racist pieces of shit did something that has NEVER happened before, refusing to even have a hearing on Obama's budget.

Yell out LIAR in the middle of the god damn SOU?

Are you fucking kidding me?

And yet the rest of us do nothing...myself included.

Shame on us.

It's a sign of an economic collapse. They also blamed him for K-Mart(which that company dug it's own grave) and Borders(same as Kmart).

by Glenn Beck and his ilk, Obama needed new buildings to house detainees before shipping them off to FEMA camps during Jade Helm 2.0.

Not to worry though, the good guys with guns will protect us from the tryanny of the government and the muslim socialist president.
