You know, it just occurred to me that although I talked a lot about my Product Development project, the plus size lingerie line, I never shared the final results.

I don't have a lot to share, I admit. My teammate kept the booklet that we made even though I wrote every word of its contents, but no, I'm not bitter at all about it and she refused to

That's a very lovely naked body, and I really don't think it shows enough to make it inappropriate to display in class. But then, I'm the one writing a paper on intersex human rights, so two weeks of writing about the effects of genital surgery may be skewing my perception somewhat ;-)

I would definitely buy that last pink set, too, and maybe the bodyshaper if it's not too confining. I don't normally go for "shaping" products, but I do like that look.

[hansbekhart]

I don't think either of our perspectives are skewed; I think some of my teachers are just, you know, wrong.

But yay! That's music to my ears, man. And no, the body shaper isn't confining at all. It's a very lightweight fabric that's tailored to hug your curves, not **cough** punish them. That was one of my slogans, I couldn't help using it!

[sashajwolf]

I like that slogan!

[hansbekhart]

Thank you! Heh, my teammates thought it was cheesy.

[hansbekhart]

Awww, thank you so much, sweetie! **blushes like MAD** That means so much to me to hear. I'm really proud of this; the execution itself might've fumbled a bit, but the idea is really solid and if I had the capital, I'd start it up in a heartbeat.

[hansbekhart]

**cough** Me too. And I am seriously, seriously considering it, but to be honest, I wouldn't know how to go about finding investors or anything like that. Do you think there would be any legal weirdness, considering that it was conceived as part of a team?

Eyefull! That's totally adorable.

Meant to use this icon. She's my hero. ;)

[hansbekhart]

Ahaha thank you! I love puns, it's ridiculous. Also, that icon is GORGEOUS.

Very cool, and I really love your play on Eyefull. Very smart and sassy.

As for the body controversy. That's just crazy. The photograph looks interesting and I don't see how the target consumer should be disturbing. People. *shakes head*

[hansbekhart]

Thank you! It was really a fun project, and I'd love to be able to actually make it happen.

Yeah, when I first proposed the idea of doing plus-size lingerie, I was so excited about it and couldn't figure out why all of my classmates and teachers had such a lukewarm reaction, but I think it's true - the fashion industry is allergic to the plus-size market, which IMO is just ridiculous. I have to admit that it's less because I'm a champion of different body types then the fact that it's probably the largest growing American demographic, and it's just silly not to take advantage of it.

God damn.
That's amazing! Great work!!!

[hansbekhart]

Ahaha, thanks so much!
