Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

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


Please PM everyone who was a part of the VS Social Thread to inform them of our new home.

Wish they still came in petite inseams. I have some shorts and capris. I should have bought them when they had petites!

Quote from ayoungpretender :
I've heard a lot of people say they have trouble with blacks fading. I've never had too much of a problem. I'd say at least 50% of my clothes are black and I wash everything (besides socks, underwear and athletic/work clothes) in cold on delicate. A lot of tags say to wash warm, but that accelerates fading. I can also easily make loads of laundry that are just blacks so that might help too.
I always wash on cold (colors/whites/black) and the gentlest cycle. I think I'm just super OCD about the darkness of the black. shake head

I'll have to try washing *just* the darks by themselves b/c I am a bit lazy where I don't want to do too many separate loads a week.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
DH was opposed because he's used to me in the sexy VS stuff and didn't know they had the regular old cotton bras there. Teehee He also doesn't want his daughters wearing clothes made for college girls or with something written across their butts. But most of all he didn't want me spending $55 on a bra for a teen. But I had to remind him I don't pay $55 for bras for myself.
. . .
Yeah, I can definitely see that. Another problem I see with the PINK line is that it is meant for the college crowd and yet the sayings/designs seem too immature for that age group. Those PINK-only catalogs we get sometimes - I'm horrified at the suggestive poses they put the girls in while in outfits that befit little girls- will lollipops and knee socks and junk. I don't know, just makes me think of Dateline's To Catch a Predator show. I clearly have an issue Crazy

I just worry about kids growing up too fast - I think it's awesome your aunt was so cool when you were younger! Now, when I see young girls in Fredericks,THAT isn't right laugh out loud
. . .
I was also the "bra in a box" from Target girl. Mom saw VS as something you buy for someone else to enjoy (a lover).
Oh, I totally need to find this picture I took with my cellphone- there was this little boy, they let him sit in front of the store while the ladies shopped. He just sat there staring up a the mannequins dressed in their naughty-wear Shocking
Quote from GoHeels :
I have a few of the bras with bling. I'll have to be careful what I wear with them, but they were too pretty to resist for the price I paid. Girly
...
Yes definitely- I'm really liking the DA peach floral! They put the crystals along the lace at the top and it seems to disappear under most shirts. Much better than when they scatter the crystals all over. What patterns did you end up with?
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
The bra! My boobs are big though Teehee.
I didn't try it before my surgery. It seemed to me like it was almost like miraculous as far as push up and volume. Just not as much padding and more comfy. Let someone else that has real boobs chime in. I'm probably not the best person to listen to. I only tried the bathing suit too.
Nah you're right. They just made huge boobies huger. Almost as bad as the Miraculous laugh out loud
Quote from leftie :

I hate that about black clothing. No matter how carefully and gently I wash, it's always easily faded. I've heard Woolite is supposed to be good for black clothing?? Or maybe it's just their marketing campaign that I'm thinking of....
Cheer used to make a detergent for dark clothes, now the only one I can find is Woolite. Albertson's has promos where you buy $100 in GC's and you get a coupon for $10 off your next purchase. When the Amazon GC's are included in the deal, I stock up on those and spend the $10 certificates on the Woolite detergent (it's $10/bottle). I do the same as AYP said, cool water, delicate with other darks. I also keep my jeans out of the mix and any other rough material that would beat up the other clothes in the wash. I don't know if it works, but I know I'm doing my best Coverlaugh
Quote from kurips :
i think i may be keeping some of my bras (some with matching panties woot ).
High Five matchy matchy Yay! Even if we're not put together on the outside, we'll know we are on the underside!

Good morning all! Just to introduce myself, I'm a major lurker here on SD VS boards... as my name might be new to you, your names are not new to me. Wink Anyhow this was also posted on the VS non-chat thread. Any help from any VS Cardholder vets would really be appreciated. TIA!

For VS Cardholders...

Have you ever had problems receiving your Angel Rewards in the mail?

I recently moved, and have not received April or May's AR. I waited 6 weeks for April's AR and call VS CC on May 19th and they said they would re-mail the AR and I verified the address. (Still have not received that AR ) So I guess I will have to wait until June 30th to inquire again with VS CC regarding April's AR. And then I will have to wait until June 17th for my May's AR, that has yet to be received.

It's a bummer because I wanted to use the AR during the SAS. I did have my mail originally held, and then forwarded to my new address. I was going to pick up my old mail but the USPS took it upon themselves to fwd the mail to my new address. I was Frown because I figured they wouldn't fwd the AR since it was Prstd First class.

Anyways, have any of you had this problem? Did it get resolved with VS CC? Do you think the USPS might be stealing the AR? (I hate how easily stolen AR can be.) I hope VS CC does not think I'm circumventing the system. The only other thing I can think of, is I'm currently in an apartment and maybe the address line is too long and the APT is getting cut off, so maybe I need to have VS CC put my Apt # on the second address line... hmmmmm...


P.S. I have a locked mailbox & never had problems receiving AR prior to this move.

Hi!
It happened to me. I had to wait and call like you did. It finally showed up.

Hi, I figured as much. I put my apartment number on the second address line for future AR, and hopefully this fixes the problem. Thanks! Smilie
