New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

Quote from IceyNiki :
It is a regular push-up. Not as much pushing as Very Sexy push-up, which I prefer. I have a few Sexy Tee push-up bras because they come in cute colors (gingham). I classify it as an everyday bra, but I classify the Very Sexy as an everyday bra also. I think of it as a sexier version of the Cotton Lingerie bras due to the material.



I have not decided what I want to purchased with my ARs. I have a ton of swimwear, and I hardly ever like the tops to the swim bottoms I love. I have two or three without tops currently. I am thinking of packing all swimwear and cover-ups for my vaca. Hahaha. Actually, I may go on a mini-vaca after my vaca. I need to decide soon, so I can change my return flight.
Have a blast on your vacation and packing all swim sounds like a fab idea!!

Sorry for the late reply, our power kept going out and we finally left so we could watch the Packers game.


I'm going back to get the other 2 colors and may exchange my XS/S for the S/M. bounce The XS/S cinches but pinches and the S/M is still tight enough to do it's job Smilie It was when I read comments talking about others that needed to size up that I tried in in store. I want that glittery one too!

Wow, congrats on the huge reward! High Five

Sounds like that bride's going nuts and she's trying to drag you all down with her. For her gift, I say give her a box with the exact mixer she wanted on it, but swap it out for the same model in the ugliest color available. Give her the joy and excitement of having to exchange it Evil

I'm not sure about the clearance question, but I will let you know if they process that way when my points show up.


Thanks for the HU on 6pm.com. I think I'm going to call PayPal myself. I might just go ahead and ship it back and look for reimbursement - I remember that being one of the options Scratchchin I hope they get your label straightened out Smilie
I lol'd about the ugly mixer exchange. Some people need their heads checked!!

I should probably ignore them too. If they weren't brown, I wouldn't have considered them in the first place. I'm just desperate for some non-blue or black jeans & I'm not adventurous with colors.

:fai nt: Been called by Bridezilla to all BMs to clear my calendar until her wedding date since most things are left last minute :roll eyes: Subject of email titled "HELP" :l ol:
I'd tell her sure, then continue on as previously planned. She sounds like she's in panic mode & hopes you all will help bail her out. I suppose that's what good friends do. I wouldn't cancel something I already had planned, if it's really important to you though like something that was a rare opportunity.

Quote from azn1x6flame :

I did see a nice cheap VS dress that I would want as a BM dress and I'm doing some looking around, but not helping with song selection.

Calling to make brownies. Whoever ends up eating mine will probably vomit or it would deflate because I suck at cooking :e vil:
I have to ask... What are the brownies for? laugh out loud

Good luck with the dress search. Hopefully, everyone will like the VS dress.

Quote from anastaciab :
nope they were reg price listed, in the same isle as the plastic tube hangers hanging one shelf belpw them
That's encouraging. We'll definitely give it a try in the next few days to see if one of our Walmarts has them.

what was the info on your wormy box? I think I have a box of that cereal in my pantry. now I'm worried.
I think I threw the paper away. Please don't make me handle that nasty box again. EEK! j/k I'll look for the paper first. If I can't find it, I'll have DH get the info off the box for you, when he gets up.

Quote from nerdicus :
my friend was super fast in making her dress decision. she's almost done. just going to bring her mom in next week to show her. they are selling the sample at 50% off. it fits her pretty well already - she'd only need a little bit tucked in. the dress is gorgeous. I love it myself, and it looks really nice on her.
That was fast. Good for her! She needs to stop looking now. It's so hard not to look, then 2nd, 3rd, & 4th guess your decision.

That reminds me of a wedding gift we received. One of our co-workers bought us an oil lamp. When I opened it, the lamp was missing. We got a box of packaging material & instructions. . laugh out loud I felt so bad for him. I opened it at the wedding, so everyone was watching. He said his GF had bought & wrapped it. She obviously didn't check inside the box. Teehee

I hope you get double points with clearance. That would be great. It's good to know for the future too.

I think I'd call first & have your original email date for reference. They may try to say it's too late to get the free label. I wouldn't want to take a chance on reimbursement, since the offer was only good through 12/31. You could give it a try though.

YES! I loved the jungle print last season. It seems we have similar taste. I will bite on the palm print. I'm going to treat it as just to order to give it a try. I do not know if I will love it. They don't have the palm print in regular triangle top. I don't do bandeaus and I think push up with underwire is weird at the beach, but the print hides it enough, so I will try that one.
We definitely have similar tastes. I remember that from the thread before the Social Thread. I usually wear the push-up halters and triangle/halter bikini tops. The Riviera halter is my favorite. It is super sexy.

I wish all I had to take was swimwear. I will not be taking workout gear this time. I took up most of my suitcase.

I thought they were discontinuing the original Incredible style. They recently introduced the Incredible with adjustable straps. I think women must have complained about the "self-adjusting" straps stretching out too quickly. I believe Nerdicus when she was Annicus tried on the re-design and was a fan.

It is easy for me, but I have to make sure my friend will be in town. He is a traveler too! I was going to visit Super Bowl weekend, but he is coming home (my town). I will probably mail my clothes to his home for my visit, so I will not have to take them to Nassau.

Just to add to your confusion about Zappos/6pm, I just got shipment notification for two packages from UPS, and they list the shippers as Zappos even though the orders are from 6pm. laugh out loud

ok went back to wally this am for hangers, as apparently they only put out 1 pack at a time? Confused but the sticker price was now $8.99 but they are still ringing up at $7. also today they had a pack of blue ones also. i did finally spot the difference between these and kohls, its the strap cutouts. they are slightly wider spaced on the BGH vs the kohls ones. Still way cheaper though.

Yea! What a mess, I worry about returns and try avoid the holiday.
One had to be returned within 30 days because they sent me the wrong color item and they already credited me back and would charge me if they did not receive it, lucky that did not happen because it was over the 30 days on the 28th and it did not get logged back as returned until the 3rd.

That's really weird, I went to the store on Dec 19 and dropped off returns, went back on the 24th and dropped off a few more, and by the 28th they were all processed according to the online order status.

The 19th sat at a facility for a few days before it left. It is like it got there, they went on Christmas Holiday and it had a holiday to with the other packages there Wink. The second one was the 23rd and it went faster until it got to IL or OH and sat there. Confused

  • Grand total of 3720 points!

I forgot to weigh in on the coated leggings... I looked at them too, but came to the conclusion that the coating would make even the best of legs look like tube sausages bursting out of their casing with the way they would reflect light. Coverlaugh If you are interested in brown pants- how about the corduroy legging jean? They have brown ones in clearance [express.com]. I bought some from Tilly's [tillys.com]and I love them! I have never seen the Express ones in person to speak to whether they have sheen or not.

Oooh that sucks so bad about the gift not being in the box! I wonder if she bought the box that was for the lamp on display laugh out loud Poor guys.

For Express see the note above woot

Oh yes, I always have a few windows queued up with documentation before I pick up the phone. It really helps with the phone anxiety (which I have a bit of too). There is no time for navigating the site once you get a live person on ! Nono If only shoes didn't weigh more than a pound to ship, I probably wouldn't care. Oh well.

Nice point total! woot Thanks for updating us on the clearance scenario. Thanks to your post I put a lot of accessory clearance items in my wishlist to add to orders. Teehee I'm going to hold off on placing an order until tomorrow hoping for a code. If they don't have one, I'm going to go ahead & buy what I want. I need 920 points to reach the next reward level.

They don't appear to have brown corduroy pants now. I'll stalk the site to see if they pop up in my size.

You could be right about the lamp. I didn't think of that, but it makes sense. laugh out loud

I agree with shipping shoes. I usually won't purchase shoes from 6pm, because I don't want to pay return shipping. The Paypal promo is the reason I purchased from them in the first place.

Quote from nerdicus :
That was the belt I got too! Now I wish I had gotten more colors. I only got basic black.

I didn't try the s/m in store. The xs/s fits me and makes my waist look tiny. That may be bc it's small tho - wish I had thought to try it in store and pick it up! Wonder if the s/m would be more comfortable on me.
I forgot to reply to this yesterday. I have all 3 colors & love them all. I think Cool Earth is my favorite. I got XS/S too. It works for me. I didn't try a S/M to see if it fit also.

I'm glad you were able to get more. Hopefully, that means we can find them too. I'm not sure if the strap cutout will make much of a difference, but I can't imagine why it would.

Sounds like that bride's going nuts and she's trying to drag you all down with her. For her gift, I say give her a box with the exact mixer she wanted on it, but swap it out for the same model in the ugliest color available. Give her the joy and excitement of having to exchange it Evil
laugh out loud The thing is that she doesn't work and I don't see how she needs ******THIS***** much help! What is she doing with her time?!!?! So it seems unreasonable to me. The people I'm getting the mixer with decided that we're going to do the rebate for it to bring our own costs down Stick Out Tongue This way, with the proof of purchase cut out and missing, I'd imagine she can't do a return/exchange! Roll I don't know about Kohl's return/exchange policies since it was purchased there, so that might not even work...

I personally think white goes with everything, and it's the classic mixer. It's just going to be the Classic versus the Artisan that she wanted. No one saw the point in the extra $100 for some (like two) attachments.

Quote from GoHeels :

Good luck with the dress search. Hopefully, everyone will like the VS dress.
The brownies are the favors she's giving out as gifts. I guess they are supposed to come in a mug or something? I don't see how that won't be messy while it's being put into the mug? Confused

I hope the Bride likes the VS dress. I find no point in replying all to the emails anymore if Bridezilla is the one making the decisions, and BMzilla will have 100+1 things to say about everything shake head

There are no full price Incredibles instore--either style. They were all put in SAS even normal colors like nude, black. Usually that means discontinued....hope not though.
