Trolling clothes on ebay has turned up a new-to-me phenomena that seems to be gaining momentum: using your wife/gf/piece to model men's clothing. It's getting downright scary:

http://cgi.ebay.com/SAKS-FIFTH-AVENU...item19b9b173aa

Gives a whole 'nother meaning to "double breasted".

No, this isn't spam. And, thank God, I don't have any relation to the seller. My only point is that if you, dear reader, are one of the people pulling this sort of crap, please stop. Thank you. Carry on.

^ Now, now. Don't dump on the poor woman just because she let her man talk her into this dumb stunt. Anyway, I think she probably looks fine; it's just a bad photo.

I think she is the seller, not a husband or bf. If you look at her other items, they are mostly women's clothing.

The seller might have better luck selling used women underwear. This "phenomena" has been around for quite awhile, its just new for you.

I wonder how much they are saving, I mean a mannequin can't be that much can it?

razl,
have you noticed the coat is a 44R, and fits her perfectly in the shoulders?
She's a big girl and probably powerful enough to tie most of us into pretzels.
If you do decide to contact her with criticism, please do so with extreme caution,
and...I don't know you.

Wow. Every single item has bids. This includes second hand hollister shirts and crap like that. Its as if all these people have been deluded into thinking that they will get to see her naked if they buy the clothes off of her body.

I bet some creepy guys bid on her stuff just to have something that's been held up by her fake biddies.

This is not even subject to debate. It's absolutely true.

Maybe some youngins here don't remember, ebay banned the phrase "Jock worn" years ago because almost any item in the world sold better when shown either next to sweaty mens feet or sweaty woman crotch.
