I'm not typical

[yendi]

So shadesong went to Target today, and showed me the underwear she bought.

The more frilly and slightly skimpy panties were fine, but the Batgirl ones, complete with a picture of Babs swinging through the city? Now those are awesome.

You are not typical for the world, perhaps, but you are 100% typical of people I am/want to be involved with. :)

[yendi]

:-) I swear, I half dread the day Victoria's Secret recognizes people like us as a market.

(And where's the Marvel love? I mean, Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, Kitty Pryde, and Jean Grey deserve underwear, too!)

Agreed, awesome! And if you're atypical, then 'normal' can get bent. Because normal is boring !

[yendi]

Agreed!

I want Batgirl underpants!! Hm...how to convince the boyfriend that we need to take a field trip to Target...

[yendi]

He'd need convincing?

[niftybabe313.livejournal.com]

Not for the underpants themselves, but for the "hey honey, let's leave the apartment and go to Target!" part...I tend to get distracted in Target and spend hours wandering aimlessly.

[yendi]

That's what Target's all about!

I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. *plots to go to local Target*

[yendi]

I suspect, based on this post, that Targets are going to be seeing a run on these in general. :-)

:mischief managed:

:smug:

:waits for Wonder Woman to come back in stock:

[yendi]

Yay, mischief! :-)

Here's hoping they not only restock, but expand the lineup.

[ckd]

With sound effects. Nice.

[yendi]

Of course!

I must get some, forthwith.

[yendi]

Indeed, everyone needs them (they've also long been carrying DC boxers and briefs for guys, too).

I went to three different Targets when I found those nifty underwear, including hitting the one in theferrett's neighborhood because I still hadn't found the Animal ones. I ended up with like six pairs of fun underwear in fat girl sizes and it made me happier than anything frilly ever could.

[yendi]

'song got the Animal ones, too!

[aiela.livejournal.com]

..which reminds me that it's been several weeks and I haven't actually WORN the Animal ones I spent so much time looking for. I guess I can fix that tomorrow! :P

Fun underwear are the kind of thing that can salvage a bad day.

[yendi]

Indeed! I'm so glad to be in a consumer age where the manufacturers realize this applies to people older than the Underoos crowd.

ThinkGeek had a set of three Batgirl Hipsters, which included a black pair with glow in the dark symbol and utility belt. My husband was going to get them for me for Valentine's Day, but they were out of stock in my size.

They finally came back in stock! But they had replaced that oh so awesome pair with.... "Keep Calm and Call Batman."

I wanted to kick something. I also told him not to waste the money, at that point. They took it from awesome costume style to OH NOEZ I NEED A HERO!

Nrgh.

[yendi]

Sigh. That's disappointing. ThinkGeek seems torn between viewing their target audience as all geeks everywhere, and just standard neckbeards who might have tolerant wives.
