as I usually do in the afternoons because it's nap time. And for the last two hours there has been a van parked in front of my house that says:
Satin N Lace Shops.com.
Plus Size Lingerie Superstore
The person who drives the van is visiting a neighbor, and is helping prune her shrubs (really, not figuratively, if you know what I mean).
I really wish he had parked in front of her house.

Maybe they ought to change the name to "Plus Size Lingerie Superstore and Landscaping"
by the way, how would you know if it was figurative shrub pruning going on? |

Is "shrub" in Mem's Virtual Cafe thread on alternatives to the "C" word? "trimmed shrub" is even more interesting I think.  |

Hank, they were both out on the front lawn, fully clothed, with the pruning shears, hard at work! |

Las, I felt the visual would fully convey the impact of the van!
Besides, the neighbors are used to seeing me taking wacky shots with my camera: up in the trees when a Red Tail Hawk visits the neighborhood, trying to get a close-up of the frozen water drops on the trees, etc. |

Seems to me they could at least ensure that the Van is not rusty. I mean rusty "large sized lingerie" vans are not the best PR.

They do have a location, and I've seen the van over there, but it's not retail, just a warehouse.
Oh, and VIG, I don't think there's any chance anyone would suspect you of wearing plus size lingerie. |

They have same-day delivery. I am trying to imagine what kind of situation would lead to an emergency purchase requiring (discreet? not very) home delivery.

seasonal shrub pruning, of course, although I didnt notice a line of plus size gardening apparel on the site. |

Hey one never knows when the landscaper shows up unannounced. I mean what are you going to wear when you open the door. Maybe they are doing test runs on which piece of lingerie is more comfortable to wear when opening the door seductively. LOL
My ex used to be a "Culligan man" and let me tell you there are some strange and obviously very bored ladies out there.

Imagine, coming back from a hard day at work, you haven't done any laundry in a while, you don't feel like cooking, and that pint of coldstone is going to be dinner. As soon as you strip out of your work clothes and roll into your lounge wear that has paint stains and holes.....you get a call from your favorite POA (piece of ) that wants to come over and see you.

So what do all of you superior people suggest that fat women wear? Long johns? Believe it or not, there are fat women who have loving relationships and active sex lives, and they certainly aren't all as small-minded and nasty as the lot of you. |

Actually, the low resolution of the photos makes her look bad, not her fat. There are not enough colors, which makes the curves look jaggy.

Just so this is clear - my humor above was targeted at the same-day emergency delivery of the sexy lingerie, not at the hefty models .... I'm not big enough to fit into those sizes yet, but all bodies are beautiful, and whatever size you are you should wear undies that make you (& your special someone) feel good.
Me, I like "Hanes her way" 100% cotton, but hey I'm a geek-girl. |
