They're sports bras, for God's Sake - a legit piece of athletic apparel. Not "undies".
[Read the article: Sports-bra fashion show]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This piece by Page Rockwell was weirdly bitchy. The blurb under the headline implies some sort of scandalous sexed-up objectification is going on. I didn't find that to be the case at all. It was just a bunch of women who run making comments about different sports bras.
And how, pray tell, SHOULD the women have been posed given the product they are testing? These are jog bras - there isn't anything gratuitous or unnecessarily va va va voomy about having them stand around in their...jog bras.
By the way - sports bras are not "undies". I wear mine solo, without a running top, all the time, and I'm certainly not alone. Have you never watched the Olympic marathon? What's your takeaway: elite athletes dressed ripping off their sub 5:30 miles in thei classic runner uniform...or a bunch of oppressed women being herded through the streets in their skivvies?
The comments about the sports bras were the same type of comments made in the Title 9 catalogue. The article even quotes the Title 9 buyer, and I'm sure go the tester commentary format from T9 as well.
Lighten up. Stop looking for exploitation where none exists.

A fitting tribute

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Chiwetel Ejiofor is an actor of beauty, grace, intelligence, sly wit and physical beauty. Even from the previews one can see that he owns the movie and will be the only memorable thing about it. Nice reveiw by S. Zacharek - it's good to see him celebrated as he deserves, and let's hope this is only the beginning of his accolades.
