For the maybe 3 male readers who read this blog, you might be asking your self, what in the world is that a picture of? Well to the maybe 4 females who read this blog, having a pair of these is as common as having a toothbrush. Ok maybe not THAT common, but nonetheless Spanx and/or acceptable off brand are an essential element to most girls' wardrobe. There is just something about that nylon, spandex, and other magical fabric that sucks in your body and makes it appear that you really just didnt consume that McNugget Value meal that makes the purchase of a pair of these worth it.
I ran across THIS ARTICLE on http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ yesterday and if you have ever encountered a pair of Spanx before it is worth reading.
Here are some of my favorite excerpts from this article.
"Lots of things get in the way of love -- literally and figuratively.... But sometimes, there are physical road-blocks. Spanx, the girl-world Under Armor, well, is a problem. It's hard to get on, it's hard to get off, and it's really hard for boys to understand."
"In case of a Spanxcident -- you forgot to remove them, you are wearing them because it's the only way you fit into the last size 6 of that Stella McCartney dress you were dying over, or you just can't fucking get them off, here are some tips:
1. Be prepared to excuse yourself pre-romantical encounter. Bring a larger purse so that you can remove your spanx ahead of time.
2. If said boy discovers Spanx, play it off like it's no big deal. Just explain it's part of the garment. Boys are too stupid usually to understand what's going on, other than the fact they can't undress you.
3. Butter.
Because sometimes the only way to remove a full-body Spanx slip is elbow grease."
