Jun 30, 2013 - Nervous groping? Bad fitter?
Um. So, I was checking out some sportsbras and went to look at the Lynx again. I wanted to know if the straps were customizable or if I could at least get measurements of the strap lengths, so I went to the FAQ page (http://www.lynxsportswear.com/FAQs_ep_46.html). I ended up watching the video with the girl running in place with different bras. (And, hells ya I'm gonna get a Lynx when I can afford it.)
Anyway, after the video was over, you know how YouTube gives you a grid of related/suggested videos? I ended up clicking on this one: http://youtu.be/-HPweYiPWtc
Holy.
What?
Miss "Bra Lady" Linda will not be getting my business when I'm in New York.
I was disturbed that she spent most of the time (absentmindedly?) feeling up her model.
I figured some of it was just nervousness, something that people who don't know what to do with their hands could subconsciously do when they are being filmed, but GEEZ it fell over the line from "gesture to illustrate fit" to "feeling up" very quickly. I have no problem whatsoever with bra fitters that touch the boobies to help figure out how the bra is fitting; that part of the video made sense to me. It was the touchy-feely-creepy bits that would have bothered me if it were on the girl's shoulders, but being all over her boobs made it that much worse.
So, beyond the touching, Miss Linda will also never get my business because she fit that girl into a 38DDD (SO wrong...) and obviously doesn't comprehend that "plus size" does not equal "larger bust." Broadcasting this video to the About.com audience will further the disillusion that is already out there... i.e., Fat/big-boned/whatever-you-want-to-call-it does not equal big boobs. You can be skinny with big boobs. You can be fat with small boobs. And so on.
BLAH.

At like 1:26 I thought she was a lesbian... xD I'm not suggesting lesbians are gropey, but a straight woman would probably not want to squeeze another woman's breasts like that... Especially not in a "proffessional" setting xD
Wow, that video made me laugh. Unfortunately though, it demonstrates the disservice that improperly trained bra fitters provide. That poor girl will likely spend lots of time and wasted money figuring out that she is not a 38" band. I'm sure she trusts that Linda lady and think's she is a professional.
