BE HONEST: WOULD YOU TELL A STRANGER HER YOGA PANTS ARE SEE-THROUGH?Sure, it's embarrassing. But wouldn't you want to know?Posted by
Emily Leaman on 4/8/2013 at 12:40PM | 2 Comments
Which is why I wasn’t at all surprised when, twice in the past few days, two friends contacted me to tell me about all the yoga butts they’ve observed lately. One described, in detail, the tattoo she could see through the black pants. (It was of a butterfly in case you were wondering.) When I asked both of these butt spies if they kindly told the Unsuspecting Wearers that their pants weren’t doing much in the, well, pants department, they both said the same thing: no. One elaborated, “I didn’t have the heart to tell her. How do you tell someone something like that unless it’s your very best friend forever?” Good question. I put myself in the UWs shoes: How would I feel if a perfect stranger told me they could see my rear through my yoga pants? (Answer: horrified.) Would I begin mentally adding up all the times I’ve worn the pants without knowing my butt was visible? (Yes.) Would this embarrass me further? (Most definitely.) But once I got over the initial sting of humiliation, wouldn’t I be happy to have been made aware of this so I could immediately remove the offending pants from my wardrobe? (Yes, absolutely.) It sounds great on paper, right? Girlkind looking out for girlkind, even if we are perfect strangers. But in practice, I’ll admit: I’ve never been so bold. When faced (literally) with a visible rear end, the sheer awkwardness of the situation has always won out, and I’ve kept my mouth shut. So I want to know: Have you ever told a stranger her pants are completely see-through? What did you say, and how did she take it? Even better: Has anyone ever told you your pants are see-through? Let’s share the awkwardness in the comments. Photo: Shutterstock |

LULULEMON’S PRODUCT CHIEF RESIGNS AFTER SEE-THROUGH YOGA PANTS DEBACLEThe company's stock plummeted after the fiasco last month.Posted by
Emily Leaman on 4/5/2013 at 1:43PM | No Comments
Yogawear giant Lululemon certainly isn’t taking its see-through yoga pants scandal lightly. The New York Times is reporting that chief product officer Sheree Waterson is stepping down and that Lulu is redoubling quality-control oversight efforts in its factories to (hopefully) ensure that no more behinds go uncovered in the future. The public got wind of the quality issue last month after the company pulled affected pants from stores and issued a recall. Lulu warned customers that there would be a shortage of black yoga pants for the foreseeable future. The company’s stock took a tumble as a result. Although Lulu execs won’t come out and say that Waterson’s departure is the result of the brouhaha—they couched it as “part of a plan to reorganize its product team to support long-term growth” to the Times—most everyone is drawing the connection. Because, I mean, come on. Photo: Shutterstock |

Watch the clip below from last night’s show, and donate to the crisis that’s affecting 1 in 4 Luon-clad women. |
LULULEMON RECALLS SEE-THROUGH YOGA PANTS, SAYS “SHORTAGE EXPECTED”Take a looksie at your rear if you've purchased Lulu yoga pants recently ...Posted by

Lululemon announced yesterday that it has recalled a boatload of black yoga pants after the company realized the fabric it was using wasn’t up to snuff—namely, that the Luon bottoms were totally, utterly, completely see-through. The problem affects roughly 17 percent of all the women’s yoga pants stocked at Lulu stores. Meaning? “For the near term, there will be a shortage of some styles available to our guests,” the company states on its website. Lululemon pulled all the affected pants from store shelves and its website over the weekend. Anyone who purchased pants at Lulu since March 1st can get a refund or exchange. If you got the pants online, you’re encouraged to call 1-877-263-9300 or email gec@lululemon.com to find out how to make the exchange. As for the expected yoga-pants shortage (gasp!): “We are exploring all opportunities to increase inventory levels as quickly as possible, so long as our standards are met,” the company states. “We are doing everything we can to increase our inventory levels of black luon women’s bottoms in our stores as soon as possible. We will be sharing more information as it becomes available. Stay tuned to store Facebook pages, product notifications and lululemon.com for new product drops and updates.” Photo: Shutterstock |
