Bloomingdale's Dressing Room Taping

While in a Bloomingdale's dressing room, Carol Ketover, was horrified to find out that a camera had been filming her while changing. It turns out the Today show had been filming there that day, leaving the monitor was left in the dressing room. The Post describes Ketover's discovery in their usual too-much-information way:

Carol Ketover had already stripped down to her thong panties in the fifth-floor Sonia Rykiel changing area Feb. 17 when a flashing light drew her attention a monitor hidden under a chair, and she bent down to look.
"I saw my butt appear, and the more I bent, the clearer my butt became," said Ketover, 60. "I really panicked."

She is filing suit, naturally. Bloomingdale's claims the camera was off, but Ketover is worried that others saw her butt because people were laughing when she left the store. Lady, people would not be laughing, they'd be as freaked out. Gothamist did not realize this, but now we know: We never ever needed to know that 60 year-olds are wearing thongs, no matter how necessary they are.

I'd do her. Just to say I did a 60-yr old. Better than big fat cotton grannypanties. She's hot. I'm 24. Good times.

Just a note--the Ketover's have never ever sued or threatened to sue any department store or any individual. The person who claims they have a history of this should do his homework before putting false information out there. Maybe someone should sue him/her.

YOIKS!!!!

Just YOIKS !!!!!!!!!!!

Not Again

FYI - this woman and her husband have a history of these trivial lawsuits, for which I will be alerting the Bloomingdales' legal team.

YEECH

How does this effect those who have to try on the things which had touched that bony, ugly ass at Bloomies... shouldn't there be sometype of health code about something that sinfully disgusting trying on clothing in a thong... talk about being horrified !!!!

A thong is uncomfortable to wear, but g-stings (which I think is what you are refering to: "a string up your bum") are actually comfortable as long as you get a decent pair.

Please !! With a mug like that... I am not even going there...

I'm a guy so I'm not sure about these things, but I think the advantage of a thong is supposed to be the avoidance of those dreaded "visible panty lines." Maybe I'll ask my mother. Then again, maybe I won't.

Somebody pleeeease answer my above questions about thongs . . . . these are important questions I'd really like to see answered.

Kristen

Thong at 60? That is all wrong.

j.

BTW -- when I mentioned above the focus of "the article" I meant the one in the newspaper, not on Gothamist.

j.

Why did the focus of this article seem to be that she was wearing . . . gasp! . . .a thong?

And for that matter, I just can't understand why thongs are so damn popular. Women, please tell me -- does a string up your bum really feel that comfortable? Furthermore, most women should wake up and admit to themselves that, you know, a thong probably isn't the most flattering item for them to wear.

A 60 year old in a thong? Ewww...

I think the initial reaction would be a total freak out, but as the freak subsided, heavy laughter ensue as the image kept replaying in the mind . . .
