Chat with a Patagonia person

 shannon:  you know what i don't understand? why, on patagonia's website, they make their clothes look unflattering even on the models
look at the crotch area on the one picture
why the hell would i buy those if they don't even look good on the freaking model

 me:  hA!!!!
yeah that's awful
room for the gunt
shannon:  they do that often - the clothes look awkward/bad on the models
 me:  looks like they might be on backwards
i got some guy asking me on the pat website if i want to chat
should i ask him how that product shot got in?
 shannon:  pat?
oh, haha yeah - ask if the crotch will be that big for real
 me:  yeah
i'm going to ask

me:  http://www.patagonia.com/web/us/product/patagonia-womens-tranquila-capri-leggings?p=56085-1-782
look at the third picture
built in room for the gunt
 Jeff:  haha, awesome.  i wonder how that product shot made it in.
 me:  maybe they know some women struggle with their gunts. especially wealthy athletic women
 Jeff:  good point.  they should have used one of them as a model then instead of having a baggy gunt pouch.
 me:  shannon wants to know if the crotch will be that big in real life

 Jeff:  probably... patagonia has no idea how to make clothes that fit humans.

Hi this is Peter, how can I help you?
You: my friends and I were wondering how the third shot made it in on the tranquila capri.
Peter: The black ones?
Peter: Which shot are you asking about?
You: for example, my friend jeff says
You: yeah the black ones
You: from the front
You: my friend shannon wants to know if the crotch is really that baggy
You: I'm sorry. I hope I'm not offending you
You: but the photo is really really bad
Peter: Yes they are not skin tight tights
Peter: Not the most appealing no but an accurate fit on the model
You: ok. i'll relay the information
You: I think they'd look awful on me for sure.
Peter: Sorry about that
You: no worries. have a nice day!


Jeff:  nice work... poor peter
 me:  i know
 Jeff:  i called the chia pet helpline once...
 me:  i feel bad for peter
 Jeff:  i asked them if it was safe to eat the sprouts
me:  so what did they say about the chia seeds?
sprouts
 Jeff:  the guy was pretty confused.  he said it would probably be fine and then kind of changed his mind and said he couldn't recommend it.

If you want a good laugh check out the models for wedding dresses. Not only do they often look bad, but the latest style puts some bling in places that make people look where I really don't want them staring. lol
