Am I the only one who got the Victoria's Secret survey about PINK in their inbox?
Also, am I the only one who's grown tired of the circus that place has turned into?
(You gotta know that's HUGE for me to say, since I worked there & spent many paychecks there in college.)
Alright, confession time.
At the end of the survey, when they asked if I had anything more to say...well, you better believe I did! No offense to anyone who's into the circus of it all, but I'm tired of it and told 'em so.
Here's what I said:
"Less fluff, more functionality & practical performance, please.
Looking good doesn't mean scary-bright colors & words plastered across the deirierre. Or loud, obnoxious packaging on beauty items for that matter. We're your audience. We're standing right here. Where's the need for yelling "Victoria's Secret!" or "Pink!"????
Give us more bang for our buck in the way of fantastic structure in foundation garments...beauty comes from the softness or comfort of the materials used.
Give us products that LAST & hold up to more than just standing/lying around in our undies all day!
Those of us who keep VS going are hardworking, get-our-hands-dirty kind of ladies. We're the one's who pay your wages. So out of respect, give us products that work as hard as we do. Then we'll have no problem jumping on-board your bandwagon more. Just sayin'...cut the fluff.
Quit marketing to us as if we're all college co-eds. Give us something that makes us feel good about ourselves & our bodies. Don't demean us with flashy high-school targeted crap. It makes us feel cheap.
Celebrate the female body, don't turn us into sideshow attractions.
Thank you."
What do you think? Too harsh?
