I’ve been thinking about Spanx lately.

August 28, 2008 at 12:00 am · Filed under Uncategorized

If you don’t know what Spanx are, they’re like modern girdles. I own one. Yup, I admit it. But every time (twice?) that I wore it, I ended up taking it off and sticking it in my purse so I could eat and breathe. I’m sorry, folks. Sometimes, you just have to make a choice. A little waffle-butt or starvation and misery.

But I digress.

I decided to put this true confession out there because I saw that Gnightgirl posted a great video that she found on Fighting Mad Mary’s that she found on GloZell’s. That’s whose it is, by the way. GloZell’s.

Anyway, it’s hysterical.

And I may not have posted this, but Fighting Mad Mary commented on Gnightgirl’s blog that it’d be funny if someone followed the line of this. So maybe someone will post that I posted this and that I got it from Gnightgirl who got it from Fighting Mad Mary who got it from GloZell.

Hey, it could happen.

Too funny!!!

Okay, so now I want to see someone blog about seeing this on your blog, after you saw it on Gnightgirls blog, who found it on my blog after I saw it on GloZells!

Did you know that her video is #51 – Most Viewed (This Week) – Comedy – South Korea!

I guess South Koreans love Spanx (or the Leggs version in this case)

I’ve passed the link to this video far and wide after seeing Mary’s post. It’s hilarious!

oh wendy, you know my love of spanx posts. actually, my first post EVER was “spanx, you tube and the dunkin donuts bathroom!” and of course any kind of thread is of interest to me.

so yes, of course, mary, feel rest assured that I will pick this thread up and post this baby tomorrow!

God, it’s funny every time! I had 10 people for lunch Sunday, and I made them all watch it. That’s just the kind of hostess I am!

Hilarious that your spanks end up in your purse. I gave ‘em up a long time ago. Until they can find a chin-to-toe version where the leftovers can’t possibly squeeze out either end of it, they just don’t work for me.

I was cracking up the whole time! I have 2 pairs of Spanx and get frustrated with them every time. they roll around the waist like a inner tube! Isn’t the point to flatten that area? Gotta give GloZell credit–she really put herself out there for our enjoyment! Thanks!

Oh, my goodness! That cracked me up from when she first got them out and looked at them – no, from when she said they were ‘natural’ so they should be right for her! LOL!

Thing is, she’s a beautiful woman. OK, a little overweight maybe, depending on your definition of ‘overweight’ but beautiful. After she got them on her legs and bum looked LUMPY!!!

Those things look like WAY too much work for me. And I think I’d be taking a pair of scissors and cutting them off within two seconds of getting that crotch right up there. ROFL!!

Oh, Wendy. Seeing this again made me snort! Don’t you love GloZell for sharing such an intimate and hysterical moment? That woman is truly beautiful. Mmmm hmmmm. I think I’d rather skip dessert than wear those Spanx things.

I was hoping Spanx might be better than the down-market version called Assets that they sell at Target. But apparently no. Which proves my theory that if it doesn’t have multiple seams, a silky texture, and a hydraulic lift, it just isn’t going to make it as a foundation garment for me.

That is one of the funniest videos that I have watched in months. I wont wear that type of stuff for fear it will cut me in half, plus after watching this vid I can see I would be too tired to go out after struggling into them. I will add this to my lazy Sunday post with a link back to your post. xo
