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.

"...when you could walk around calling faggots, "Faggots" without all the backlash!"

You mean we can't do that anymore? When did this happen and why didn't anyone tell me?

Some of the little buggers get mean.


I still call them faggots though.

I haven't done that...but I did do THIS in my mischevous college days...

A friend of mine lived in an apartment building with three units-and the guy next to him was one of those crabby old jerks that hated "all those damn college kids" that lived around him. We honestly weren't that bad (didn't really throw big parties or anything) but he was a real a-hole.

My buddy and the jerk both had the same cable box and remote on their TV...so we waited one evening till the neighbor fell asleep on his couch (which he always did) and went over to his front window. The TV was in plain view so we took my buddy's remote and ordered pay-per-view porn on the guy's TV.

About twenty minutes later we hear him and his wife yelling and arguing...he was saying "honestly, honey, I have no idea how that got on there."

Yeah, it was mean...

Marty, would you turn the models around so that we can see if it's as "nippy" inside the store as it apparently is on the other side of the window?

Thanks in advance...

Ya know what is scary?

This woman is probably only 50 or 60 years old (and yes, you still have pretty good skin even then).
