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.

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.

August is such a long damn drive. Bummer.

[LongElegantLegs]

That sounds like fun, but as I tell him constantly, when Mall Security finally picks y'all up, remember...We don't know you.

[Steelerfan]

I agree. We need much more evidence before we can properly evaluate the merits of this important social issue.

[najida]

Yeah yeah yeah,

Cry us a river hun.

Hrmpt.

[bmwcyle]

This is the issue of the day.

In Augusta Maine? Don't they get a bit cold?

I'm sure it's a bit nipply there.

[Peepster]

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.

Oh, please. I wonder if this high and mighty woman ever wears a bathing suit.

[PaulaB]

God Bless you...

And what in front of my wondering eye did appear?

Just what we needed this fine Monday morning ;)

[teenyelliott]

Here's a photo for ya. They should ask this lady if she wants to model for them.

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

I hate to admit it, but those things crack me up. I am getting one for hubby's Christmas stocking.

[teenyelliott]

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.

[Maximus of Texas]

They are great fun at family events and at the mall.
