Lingerie Store Window Has Live Models
1 hour, 32 minutes ago
AUGUSTA, Maine - In this town, window shopping is attracting a lot more guys than usual. A lingerie store called Spellbound is grabbing attention with live models in the window. Some people have complained, but police say there is nothing illegal about the lingerie models.
"It's tainting the wholesome businesses down here," said Carrie Rossignol, co-owner of Video Game Exchange. "I think it's selfish, and I think it's morally reprehensible."
Another downtown merchant likes the idea, saying the models are attracting more potential customers to the area.
"It's like a New York thing. It's urban. It's edgy," said Stacy Gervais, owner of Stacy's Hallmark Store and a founder of a downtown merchants group. "We need a shtick something that we do that attracts people and gets us remembered."
Spellbound owner Felicia Stockford said she has had no trouble finding staffers. She said the young women enjoy strutting their stuff in the shop window.

Funnily enough, he has...And the reason we go to the mall on B.F. is so that he can move merchandise around, hide popular items, etc.

Hmmm - flights from here are a tad expensive, but.....

Oh yeah, he and I would get along great at the mall. You and Mrs. Max can go together while Mr. Legs and I wreck havoc on the stores.
Has he invested in a Fart Machine?

You can stay, just don't post any more pics that aren't related to the subject. Go out and Google some Catherine Zeta Jones lingerie pics and post those here.

That sounds like fun, but as I tell him constantly, when Mall Security finally picks y'all up, remember...We don't know you.
To: bmwcyle
I agree. We need much more evidence before we can properly evaluate the merits of this important social issue.
To: Maximus of Texas

When I shop I have a rule - if I am in the store more than 10 minutes I am wasting my time.
One of my rules (especially if mall shopping), is to only go if I need something and for only what I need. Sometimes it's fun to window shop, but crowds annoy me.
Unless you spend time people watching...now THERE's a sport.

Pay special attention to the location of the front of her bikini.

I don't understand window shopping. It's not shopping at all.
If I can buy stuff, I don't want to look at it.
