i’ve only had great results from victoria secret. i love all of their underwear and bras. especially the ipex… but a few of my friends and my sisters are really indifferent toward VS.</p>
<p>My daughter also loves VS and sometimes I think she should own stock (however she does purchase bras by bali, natori and wacoal at Century 21 because she says they have the best deal in town). </p>
<p>I really have no comments on their products because I have never used them (I also do consider my self to be part of the demographics that they are marketing to). Over all VS meets my basic requirements as a parent- that D always has nice clean underwear and she exceeds the requirement :)</p>
<p>I hate shopping; I always felt that the definition of pathetic and boring was that you had nothing better to do than go while away the afternoon buying things you don’t need. So she is not a shopper (phew!)</p>
<p>But yep on the hair products and paraphernalia (straightening iron, etc.) So funny to me because afdter 45 minutes of effort she looks identical to after 4 minutes.</p>
<p>Not really an eye roller either.</p>
<p>How many moms of Ds encountered their first ‘thong’ in the laundry basket? ;)</p>
<p>You know you have a daughter when:</p>
<p>she goes off to college, graduates, then gets married, leaving three guys in your house, and you miss her companionship SO much!</p>
<p>
CGM: Did you read “In Her Shoes?” That’s Rose’ justification for buying pretty shoes: no matter what, she looks good from the ankles down.</p>
<p>I’m not a shoe person. Not much of a clothes person (Ann Taylor on sale is about it). Hate swimsuit shopping because I’m tall - also same reason why heels are excessive. Really, at 5’11 in heels, I’m looking down on most everyone, guys included. Live for the day that I can find dressy shoes that don’t make me an Amazon.</p>
<p>Never watched the OC or Laguana Beach or Project Runway. Hadn’t seen Sex and the City until September. </p>
<p>Don’t do the eye-roll. Lest anyone think I’m completely cherubic, I do the eyebrow lift - raising the left eyebrow to (try to) say, “Pardon me? You really think that?” Or the stare. The one that old men can do when they slide their glasses down their nose and look at you over the top rims. </p>
<p>My little (elementary school!) sis has the eye-roll down to a science. That and the sighs, huffs, and various sounds to indicate that she is already far cooler than the rest of us. 
I watch and take notes. :)</p>
<p>I can vouch for AriesAthena’s eyeroll. I’m not sure, but iirc, there may have been a synchronized eyeroll with the D.</p>
<p>Sisters - as part of their genetic code - can do synchronized eye-rolls. ;)</p>
<p>^Agreed. (My sister’s 13…)</p>
<p>

<p>tsdad, my H actually has MORE shoes than I do! I have 2 different birks that I wear and running/walking shoes. Actually I only have one set of birks now that one of my sons declared the others his (I think they were the unisex Milanos). I wear them in the cold, warm, even snow, if it’s just a dusting!! </p>
<p>I am one of the rare women who really could not give a rat’s behind about shoes. I guess that’s what H gets for marrying a tomboy :p</p>
<p>You know you have a college-age daughter when:
*the hairs in the shower drain are pink
*you have a serious discussion about the endorphins produced by tattooing and whether or not they’re addictive
*she asks you to help with something school related for the first time since fifth grade–and you can’t understand half of it, even though it was your major subject when you were in college</p>
<p>dmd77- lol :)</p>
<p>You know you have more than one daughter when:
“Is that my top”
“UM, no”
“YES IT IS”</p>
<p>in unison:
“I hate you” “you are soooo annoying”!!!</p>
<p>^^citygirlsmom, you just described my relationship w/ my sister PERFECTLY!! :D</p>
<p>I’m a guy but here’s what I’d say based off my female friends:
-you read her MySpace (and her friends MySpaces) and then tell her that it’s an evil service and make her get rid of it
-you use grounding more than an electrician uses it (fellow electrical enthusiasts know what I’m talking about)
-your closet looks like an Abercrombie & Fitch, and you have two such closets (although my closet looks like that too and I’m a guy…)
-it looks like you have stock in Nine West
-there is more makeup and shampoo than in a Walgreens in your house
-you find yourself singing along with bubblegum pop hits of the past two years
-Laguna Beach means something more than a place in California
-OC is more than a mindless two letter abbrevation
-Bill Gates is the only man who can pay your cell phone bill
-Bill Gates needs to take out a loan to pay the bill
-Bill Gates sells Microsoft to pay the bill
-Bill Gates realizes that he doesn’t have enough money from selling that to pay the bill so it takes him and Ross Perot combined to pay it</p>
<p>You know you have a daughter when she comes home from college and spends 4 hours the next day at a neighbor’s house because she had to go see “her” baby. And said neighbor pleads with her not to get a summer job, to be available for babysitting, and tells her the entire neighborhood will “make it worth her while”.</p>
<p>Sorry, just had to remind us all of the great service to the species these teen girls will be doing in 10-20 years…</p>
<p>"The one that old men can do when they slide their glasses down their nose and look at you over the top rims. "</p>
<p>I know exactly the look you mean Aries, but now that I’m in need of reading glasses myself I’ve realized that this mannerisim is not always as it seems. Sometimes it’s the only way you can see the person standing in front of you - the reading glasses magnify what you are reading and turn everything else past 12 " or so into a blur.</p>
<p>You know you have a daughter when you realize that the glamorous fashion model in a skimpy cocktail dress and 3" heels who is inexplicably standing in your kitchen is the same person who hip-checked a girl into the next county earlier in the day on the soccer field because “she was talking trash.”</p>
<p>You know you have a teenage daughter when the question “May I go to a party with my friends?” is preceded by “Mommy…”.</p>
<p>I lOVE the “mommy” question, when I here them say “mommy” I go “NOPE” before they even move on to the question, makes them CRAZY, hehehhehe</p>
<p>And yeah, its great watching my H’s reaction when he sees his babies all decked out</p>
<p>I know from experience as a son, it works better with a guy. I never had the “mommy” question. Instead, it was always “Hi, I’m going to the baseball game tonight with Bobby and Sean” or whatever. No objections or anything. I think it was because my mom never got to use the internet if I was home since I don’t have a router and my room is where the only comp with a DSL modem is. Plus I never would do anything bad and she knew my friends were and trusted them.</p>
<p>I always hear them out and usually what they want isn’t a “no” answer, I almost always say yes, its just when the preface it like that, its fun messing with them and just to see the look on their faces when I just jump in with- No…our own little thang</p>
