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.

Bleh. They've been doing this in NYC for years. Augusta, Maine, welcome to the 21st century.

I have decided to save that photo, and use it on all the cheesecake threads. Makes me laugh.

I think it is particularly funny that she is wearing a bikini.

If she was wearing an old lady swimming suit, she'd just be a wrinkled up old lady. But a bikini?

Does she really think she looks good? Gotta be European.

And her boobs!!!!!!!!!

Her bikini placement is hilarious!
I've seen that picture a dozen times and didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

You are a treasure!
