'Riddle me this...'
My boyfriend and I drove to Target on Saturday to pick up a few things and also to rationalize our needless and misguided lunch at the nearby Chili's. What can I say? After three weeks of watching Mercedes from "America's Next Top Model" welcome me to Chili's during every commercial break EVER, a man is bound to break.
So, we get to Target. Immediately, the displays of back-to-school supplies, steam cleaners, and Hanes Her Way undergarments enchant me, and I soon find myself using discount merchandise to fill a void left unchecked by the Chicken Crispers I had for lunch. Of course, I forget to buy the one thing I needed: self-control. They were fresh out - imagine that!
At one point, we pass a display of men's underwear, branded with the muscled, headless torso of someone far hotter than me. Cruelly setting up my boyfriend for certain failure, I ask him, "Do I look like that?" You know, only terrible people ask loaded questions to which they already know the answer.
"Actually, yeah. You do look like him," he said, adding for the win: "Except that your arms are bigger."
Damn. He's good.
I owe him a compliment now.

I think you owe him more than just a compliment now...

If you let this one go, you are completely foolish and won't get an ounce of sympathy from me.
ps: OMG. You are freaking needy!! Asking your man if you look like a mannequin.

You and your boyfriend sound so cute together.

I want your bf around when I throw on a pair of mommy jeans and ask him if they make my ass look fat.

On the bright side, you accepted the compliment. If that was me with a boyfriend, I probably would have gotten pissed of at him for lying. Then again, I probably wouldn't ask a woman question like that.

Let US decide. Post a pic of the model and yourself in the same pose. Just so we can ... you know ... compare.
Then post a pic of you thanking the boyfriend.

Then post a pic of your boyfriend modelling Hanes Her Way.

Or yourself modeling hanes her way bra and panties. Wandering around the house, opening french doors, twirling on the balcony. Like in the commercials.
At least the comments are providing the self depreciating rancor I have come to know and love.
