Hannah’s 14th B-Day (Picture Attached)

Hi Everyone,

We celebrated Hannah’s 14th birthday on Saturday.

She invited several

of her friends over

and then later they

went to a movie.


Everything was

normal, with the exception that she received a gift

from Victoria’s Secret.


Now normally gifts are a good thing. However,

gifts from Vickie’s place can be kind of scary for

a dad of a 14 year old. I saw that pink bag and my

“trouble antenna” when right up to the ceiling.

Thoughts of material deprived garments flashed

before my eyes. And at that point I was already

“squinting”.


As far as I’m concerned, that store’s marketing

department should do an internship at a smorgasbord

restaurant. Now that’s where you get value.

Victoria’s management could adapt to that

concept. Imagine, pay a single price and getting

unlimited material. I can envision all those little,

itty, bitty items in which a teen may have interest,

being sold in terms of yardage. Teen girl under

things with 2 yards of material. Teen girl top

things with 2-1/2 yards of material. Material here,

material there, material covering everywhere.

Now that’s a store where Dad’s want their 14 year

old Princesses to shop at. Oh, and 15, & 16, & 17

& 18 years old, you get the drift.


P.S. Becky, feel free to shop their normal selection of,

non yardage, items.

Chrissy, Julianne. Hannah, Leah, Jillian & the nice sweatshirt from Victoria’s

Secret. Notice the ample yardage.
