DU Men. How many let your wives/SO's drag you into Bath&Body Works?
I love that place along w/Victoria's Secret. Would you go in there too? Just curious. :-)

4. Not an intrusion at all
I always love to hear from you NSMA! But while we're at it, do you like Victoria's Secret or B&BW too? I bet we could both have fun in there. :evilgrin:

8. We could.
I like B&BW but I am not terribly fond of Victoria's Secret. I just don't think their stuff is made well. I'm more fond of the lingerie dept at Nordstrom's. I love the catalogues though :evilgrin:

10. Actually, their stuff is cheaper at Ross's.
I know. In SLO, Victoria's secret is a couple of stores down from Ross's. I go into Victoria's and I look around. The salesladies are really snotty so they don't bother me. I go down a couple of stores to Ross's and find the same stuff in there for a third of the price. I also find a lot of that pricey Nordstrams stuff in Ross's that is 25% of what you would pay for it in that store.

11. Their bras are good
I've gone longer w/their bras then any other before the eventual inevitable blowout. :nuke:

7. Hey mine too!
It used to be Juniper Breeze and I still like it but Cucumber Melon is definately my new fav. "Sweat Pea" is growing on me too. :-)

3. Not me.
She won't go shopping for computer games with me, and wouldn't dream of stepping foot in my woodworker's shop. So when it comes to B&B works, she's on her own. :P

9. I bet she'd be more involved w/your stuff
if you try to tolerate hers. Hell, I sit in an ice shack all day w/no place to pee (unless I bundel up and smowmobile to a friend's camp- I will NOT pee out there in the open) in exchange for an evening in Portland. WoooHooo!

Just a suggestion but would not garantee results. :-)

28. Not true.
I tried. We're too independent, which is one thing we have in common. She does her thing, I do mine, and we love each other very much. :)

5. Bath and Body works yes
I get a little nervous in Victoria's secret, the same feeling I get digging around in my SO's purse - like I shouldn't be there.

6. I love that place
Bath & Body Works.

It's a great place to get gifts for female relatives:
1. there are a wide variety of products in each "flavor"
2. the woman will eventually use up whatever I give her, so I can get more.

I don't have a wife or SO, and I'm pretty bad at gift-buying, so as long as I know what flavor/scent someone likes, I can always go to that shop.

12. I go in there willingly! I dig it!
My wife thinks she's dragging me into this horrible womany store, and I'm secretly in love with the scents and the lotions....don't tell her that though.

And don't get me started on Victoria's Secret...I'd be buried ther if I could arrange it.

14. Thank you!
Seriously, I actually LIKE shopping for lingerie and perfume with my wife. What guy wouldn't love to hang out in a lingerie shop all day?! And if your wife's into it...bonus! All you guys can beat me up, but it's true....

15. Heck, I'm a single woman
and I have to be dragged into both stores. Although I have bought stuff at Bath&Body Works. Victoria's Secret I hate because none of their stuff fits me.... although that may change in the near future :)

18. My wife isn't Kate Moss, either....
But imagining her REAL curves in some lingerie is such a wonderful thing.

23. I've been dragged in a few times.
The secret is to PAY ATTENTION! That way, when it's gift-buying time, you know what to get, and you can get into and out of there with minimal exposure. ;-)

24. No way...that place rules.....
The smells and scents are great and they also have a half-decent line of men's stuff as well.

25. Juniper Breeze Rulz!!
:D I love that scent.

I love B&BW, also The Body Shop.

I'm a big fan of good smelling bath stuffs, candles, home scents. I'm vary heady aroma oriented.

But I like going to the craft store and getting the stuff to make my own soaps and bath salts. It's cheap and very good quality.

29. My Favorite Too. But WHY Did They Discontinue The Juniper Breeze Shampoo??
Now all they have is the soap, lotion and body wash. Humph!

Other than the fact that they are WAAAAAY over-priced.

Love, Allen
