Anorexia(Aritzia)

[Liqwid]

.dalyn.

[veN]

wow...

[baby-phat]

That's ridiculous. *rolls eyes* blech

[Silverwinged]

someone seriously get pics of this
what location dalyn? i want to go tomorrow and get some snaps, maybe call 24 and the metro or something.
hahah.

[MissMarz]

omg thats horrible..
i mean i dont even shop there cuz i aint freakin asian. their clothes are just not meant for people with shape or length.
no offense to asians ( but you know you're bodies are built alot diff from a white chicks)

[Liqwid]

West Van.....on the north side of Park Royal

its like right in their window........

its sooo wrong.....and unethical........

.dalyn.

[Silverwinged]

k well someone in west van should get pictures, theres no way i'll make it to PR tomorrow...

[Liqwid]

i would if i had a digi........

[MissMarz]

my girlfriend works there.. i wonder what she has to say about that.

[Liqwid]

i saw it there on the weekend........i can't see it staying up too long.....

but i had to read it like 5 times before i believed what i was seeing.

.dalyn.

[~lazee_grrl~]

i just asked my girlfriend about this cuz she works close to one of them..

she says all the aritzia's have it and it actually says "we heart the skinny"

and the skinny is the name of a new pair of jeans or something..the next new fad

i guess its a way to get people to talk about you're product..not necessarily positive word of mouth marketing but it gets the point across..a play on words..

[veN]

Ahh, that makes more sense!

[Liqwid]

sorry for the mistake....

but thats still sooo wrong..........

its still telling people they have to be "size jib" to shop there...........

THATS FUCKIN' PRICELESS!
karma.

[Liqwid]

lol........size jib........me and my friend dave used to call people that.....or when we would go shopping, and hold up a way too small size...."hi, size jib"

[PwInCeSs]

They had it at the Robson location awhile back not sure if they still do...
They also Had adds on the radio.
I know its about those tacky jeans but i think its the wrong way to go about advertising them.

[PwInCeSs]

Next new fad hardly, recycled fad yes. UGLY!
Tight around the ankles and all... im sorry i hate it.

[MissMarz]

i agree.. its nast.

[prozac]

Hey...I bought a pair in Australia and I love em! I'm wearing them right now actually.

Better than that hideous, wide, flowy 3/4 length pant thing that I discovered had taken over while I was away. Now THOSE are ugly.

[Liqwid]

^^^.....gouchos..........

i like them.......i think they are nice....

.dalyn.

[prozac]

ew. :P

[Liqwid]

to each their own........

lol Thanks jen for clarifying this, interesting indeed.

it kind of reminds me of how (when I used to work there) concerned parents would come up to us and ask us whether "TNA" really stood for Tits and Ass... as it was popularly believed to have stood for. We were instructed to reassure the customer that it actually stood for Talula National Atheltics... but it's not like that "misunderstanding" didn't benefit the company in some ways.

And now, here we are, talking about SKINNY JEANS. I didn't even know that there was such a brand, so I guess Aritzia "wins".

[TipSy]

dalyn i think aritzia is refuring the *we heart the skinny* to the latest trend skinny jeans.. Off the wall has radio commercials resembling that advertisement.. saying something along the lines of the skinny is the new jean.. im not to sure .. i know im not correct .. but the advertisement is promoting the new skinny denim..

edit: like Lazee_grrl said

[Liqwid]

^^^....its like lets make a name so its first letters spell TnA....

Ker-ching!
