I saw, in my web meanderings, some underwear printed with flamingos.
It was a men's style but the print was just so joyous and fun and ...well, pink. I had to know more. One click and I found an Australian company making underwear with fabulous prints. It is a subscription service, which is a strange way to buy undies (no, I don't say panties, the word makes me gag)
Anyhow, I thought I wouldn't mind a new pair once a month for at least a couple of months and I signed up, secure in the knowledge that I was not obliged to buy any more than one pair.
They arrived today and I gave them a tick for the compostable package.
Then I found the wet pack I didn't want
And the transfers I also didn't want
And the stickers
By this time I have decided I'm obviously not in their target demographic or they would know I don't want all this excessive junk........
But maybe there would be flamingos?
No, no flamingos either
Hey, it was worth a try!
ReplyDeleteYes! Maybe all the junk was for first time customers
DeleteWhat is a wet pack? Are the stickers for your body or to put on notebooks or laptops? I don't understand at all. I have never said "undies" in my life. Is there are reason or meaning about the word "panties" that I don't know? Write them and ask them were are the flamingos.
ReplyDeletewet pack seems to be the trendy new term for a toiletry bag. The stickers are for notebooks and similar items. The transfers might be stick on type tattoos, I'm not sure.
DeleteI think undies is an Australian term and there's really nothing wrong with panties except I associate it with dirty,lecherous old men.
I knew I might not get flamingos, I think each month is different, but I hoped it would be equally attractive. It's all in the eye of the beholder I guess
kylie,
DeleteThanks for the explanation. I suppose panties does not have the same connection for me. Can you ask for flamingos? Oh, I have hear wet pack as something to carry wet things in, swimsuits, dirty clothing, and such.
Maybe the flamingos are invisible. Just saying. I don't like any of those other patterns. I'd send them back and ask for a refund.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not an online shopper.

Oooh, you've just made my disappointing print potentially magical. imagine what you could do in politics 😂
DeleteHmm. Not for me.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about undies/panties too.
It was worth a shot
DeleteAlso, does the word "panties" remind you of Rolf Harris?
DeleteBizarre.
ReplyDeleteThey are one of those too cool for school type companies. Trying way too hard
DeleteGood that you signed on for only two months!
ReplyDeleteYes or we'd be buried in marketing junk
