In order to create the Victoria’s Secret Model Suzanne, I will wear a form-fitting t-shirt and biking shorts or leggings, then be wrapped in duct tape. After three layers are applied, Husband or whoever helps me with my project will cut through the tape and clothes in the back, then I’ll tape it back together and stuff the form. Viola!
While rummaging through my pajama drawer for a reject t-shirt I could use for my exciting project, I found the perfect sacrificial lamb. As you may recall, after I cam back from the BlogHer conference at the end of July, I wrote a long rant about why I hated Elexa condoms. I recanted my beefs about the condoms themselves after being schooled by a more knowledgeable source on what the deal really is with them, but I remain irked that the t-shirts that they gave out during BlogHer were so tiny. Only someone with the figure of a Victoria’s Secret model could wear that shirt and look decent.
Click! The light bulb went on when I found the shirt buried in my drawer. It is very tight on me and perfect for making a body double cast that clearly shows my gut. So exciting! Now I just need a pair of bike shorts or stretch pants to cast my undergut and thunder thighs.

While I applaud your campaign against Victoria's Secret, you seem to be forgetting that you are a size, what, 6?? So even with your 'gut' and 'thunder thighs' you are still, to many of us, a beautiful and slender woman . . . . .
ReplyDeleteYou have a great deal of faith in your husbands scissor skills, ha,ha..
ReplyDeleteAll the best with this..
Mara, you beat me to a future explanation. I think that is why I make a good candidate for this project. No one is perfect and I feel like these fashion shows set people up with an unrealistic expectation of how VS will look on them or their lady friends. Not that all people are idiot enough to fall into that trap, but it still galls me to no end how much air brushing is done in their print ads and how ludicrously unattainable their model's body types are. No one can pull it off at home.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best project ever.
