D is for Disaster
A while back I signed up to get notifications from Anthropologie in my email--not because I have ever bought anything from them (too pricey) but because a woman needs to do some window shopping now and then.
Anyway, the last email I got had this picture attached.
Now... I love this skirt. I love the whole outfit, but I have to tell you for the last few days the whole picture has been in the back of my head nagging me incessantly.
Why?
Well...
There is absolutely no way she would be able to ride that bike in that skirt. It just screams disaster.
Can you imagine? Try to for a moment.
Plus, do you see the bar on that bike? We're not talking a cruiser here... this is a full hitch-your-leg-over-it bike.
I'm wondering if the photographers have ever taken a turn on a bike themselves. Because I have and I'm telling you she's going to end up with a concussion.
I suppose she could tie the skirt up to her knees as she was riding, but then you have another sort of disaster on your hands. Have you ever ridden a bike in a short skirt? Well, if you haven't may I suggest bloomers underneath.
So to the folk over at Anthropologie I just want you to make note of this. When coming up with cute poses for your online catalog may I suggest not using a bicycle as a prop, it doesn't seem to be working very well for you.

I love Anthropologie also. They have the greatest linens and household stuff. You are right, though, they are pricey...
Disaster waiting to happen...but funny :D
love the girl in the image.
I do like the skirt, though. :)
I'm thinking you should volunteer for the job with payment in store vouchers instead of money!
What a fun stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday.
I really enjoy the way you think.
