I got the blue zebra swimsuit in today. Unfortunately, I hurt my back this morning, & don't feel up to trying it on. When I do, I'll let you know what I think. The invoice has the color listed as blueberry. There isn't anything resembling blueberry on it. Dontknow

I don't think you missed much. It's not supposed to be as pretty as the most recent one.

I did send an angry email to groupon when I got home that night. Groupon did nothing except add $10 groupon bucks into my account. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) They really need a better system of voucher #s.

Azn - I will PM you the place, but I doubt you'd come all the way out here to go to that mediocre place anyway. But just to let you know...
I think this is one of the reasons I would NEVER invest in Groupon stock. If it keeps going like this, the excitement of such companies like Groupon will wear off.

Yes, please PM me the place. I never know if I will be in that area and someone might causally suggest a place.

Also, I went to Puente Hills, they are stacking. They said that they are going to continue to allow stacking and that they've always done it. I can confirm they didn't used to, but these 3 times, they have. She even told me that they tell people to stock up in March and go to their VS to redeem!

Quote from GoHeels :
It's funny that you mentioned that. I was just checking to see if mine had shipped. It hadn't, so I was coming here to ask if anyone's had. It doesn't look good for them shipping. If anyone calls, please let us know what they say.
Girls, mine shipped on 3/23. I got it the following week, probably last week, so I'm assuming maybe yours are still being filled?

I'm glad you like the color. woot I'm going to buy those shorts in that color to go with a top I already ordered, as soon as there's a clothing code. Would you recommend the 5" for someone who is 5' 1" & wants a modest length, but definitely not long shorts. I want something age appropriate, but long shorts make my legs look shorter. Also, how do they run? I'm between a 4 & 6 in a lot of pants now, & still trying to lose. I want to be able to wear them now though.

Lucky you. woot What did you buy? I wish our VS would stack. I could buy most of what I want instead of whatever costs close to $10. laugh out loud

It sounds like they didn't get enough in to fill all the back orders. I hope they ordered more, & get them in soon. As alvs said, the fact that they haven't been cancelled is probably a good sign.

I'm so jealous of you ladies in CA that are able to stack! I don't have very many this time, but it sure would be nice to use them all together Smilie

Also, I just learned that I won a travel grant. I'm pretty nice. It's exciting that people are actually starting to recognize my work. I just hope this continues...

Me too, glad they allow stacking!

BTW, every time I use my R & R powder, I always think about your great recommendation on the color! Thanks! I love it every time I use it! Especially for coverage and it blends nicely where I need coverage and just regular non-coverage needing skin.

Ooo~! Nice and congrats!!

I like being able to stack my SRCs, but sometimes there's just SOO little in the store that I actually want. I was hoping to try on some bikinis, and they didn't have that out on the floor either.

Oh, that reminds me that I wanted the gorgeous bikini! I still have a $30 RC I haven't spent. Maybe I'll go today to treat myself...if only I haven't been too busy to go to the gym... I can't decide which color I think is prettiest. I'm pasty white with bright red hair and freckles. Which color do you think is the prettiest? Does anyone have the gorgeous bikini? Do you like it?

ALVS, how are you healing? Is everything going as planned, I hope?

it's a gorgeous color. i've always loved bright blue tho.

as for sizing, i'm usually a 2 in vs pants, tho some have been tight in that size. i got the shorts in a 2, and they're perfect/a bit loose. (i hate my shorts tight so i consider the looseness perfect!) HTH!

the 3.5" length is a bit short on me but definitely not a SHORT short, if that makes sense. shorts/skirts tend to look short on me kuz my thighs are longish (i'm 5'6 and they're probably the longest part of my body). i actually think they may be ok for you. the 5" will probably be very modest, but i have no idea if they will be too long. i would suggest trying both if possible (do you still have that return label?).
