WTF is Body Molding?!?!
You are having the great honor of reading the blog of the official "CANDIES" brand Fit Model- ME.
No, this is not me (damnit)
this is obviously Jenny McCarthy in her controversial ad for Candies Brand Shoes,
I'm the FIT MODEL for Candies...
Here I am! Great photo hey? My eyes really stand out in this photo don't they?
I get to be behind the scenes while the garments are in a delicate stage of the design process and need to be revamped before being put into mass production. Not quite as glamourous as having my own billboard in NY, but I'm no Jenny McCarthy either.
What I get to do is travel to L.A. to meet with the other fit models Candies uses and they are going to make a MOLD of my body. Yes, I said a MOLD of my body, so when they need to fit garments that will eventually be sold by Kohls, they can use my body in L.A. without me having to be there all the time.
Personally, I wouldn't mind a visit to LaLa Land every couple of months, but that whole, "married with kids" thing just doesn't fly with the big wigs.
So when I was told that a mold was going to be done, I was a little freaked out at first. The only other time I'd ever heard of body molding was on a "Skinamax" special about adult toys. I think you could purchase a mold of Jenna Jameson's panooch or something...or was it - BUY the mold that grew on Jenna Jameson's panooch? Whatever.
I will ask the "mold technician" in L.A. if I can have a mold for my husband when he's away with the military- just so I can see the look on his face, actually BOTH their faces!
Currently, I visit Kohl's corporate office weekly and they try their upcomming fashions on me to see where changes need to be done, right now we're fitting shorts for summer '06
So the next time you go to Kohl's or anywhere Candies brand is sold and are trying on a pair of size 7 anythings...they were designed specifically to my core body demensions, so don't bitch when they don't fit right! I warned you.

Next time you're meeting with the Candies and/or Kohl's execs, could you tell them we need long inseams that are actually L-O-N-G. Like 34"? (not necessarily in size 7) There's a whole untapped market out there.
And the men's department could use a Big OR Tall section, not just Big AND Tall. You shouldn't have to have a 52" waist to get an inseam over 36". But I digress.
Let's work on getting jeans that fit me and my girlfriends, first. Then we'll worry about dressing the men in our lives. Maybe.
Thanks for letting me vent.
I completely agree with your comment about the "untapped market" that desperately needs to be addressed.
My husband is a perfect example of that clientel. He's 6'3-ish with LONG legs and just because he can't fit into a 32 waist, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to wear
(or that I don't want him to wear) cool looking jeans. Those tapered legs look horrible on Kevin- but that's practiclly all you can find without REALLY hunting around.
Thanks for the inspiration. I have to go to Kohls tomorrow, but again, I'm just a lowly fit model, they don't have to give a shit about what I think, but I'll take a chance and bring up your question!
