Vortexia's Secret

i never thought i would live to see the day when i was disappointed by target. i checked their website to preview some items before i had to go there to shop. i was not happy with what i saw. first, i checked their jeans because i had heard that they had a great selection. number of jean options? 3. next i check out their panty and cami selections. i wanted to get a sexy camisole/corset type top that i could wear with a jacket and jeans when we went out for valentines day, but could then look drop dead gorgeous after we got back home and i took off the jacket and let his mind wander. no options. NOTHING! from the store that just 6 months or so ago i had raved offered a wide selection of sexy little things. at least they still had the mesh undies. but when you click to see thongs, they say nothing matched that search. ouch. for the less industrious surfer who just sees that and leaves, there is some serious business lost. when you look under the mesh option, there are several thongs. they just don't have them listed correctly or something.

and i checked to see what kind of underwear options they had for guys. nothing was listed. it wasn't until i opened up "shorts" (which were true wear outside shorts, not boxer shorts) that a hidden little option for "underwear and socks" appeared. saddest thing of all... there were 5 options, and 3 were for athletic socks. it would appear that men cannot buy any dress socks or any boxers at target. the underwear they did have were packs of briefs and boxer briefs. and the boxer briefs looked kind of gross. a dingy grey and both the same color. maybe it's just a girl thing, or the old boxer mentality, but i want some variety. i see a pair of undies two days in a row that look identical, and i assume it's the same pair.

target, my love, work on this. you're losing your touch. you are slipping from your status as the beloved store. i do not know a soul who doesn't enjoy your trendy, cute, and affordable things mixed with the practical. but if you are letting the FCC, the conservative trends, and whatever evil influences turn you into a store for 80-year-old prudes, then i will have to find a new store. this makes me sad. so just shape up before i have to retire you. thanks.

i'll report back when i go to target next on whether the actual store is as bad as the site was.
