lululemon

Rarely am I the first to jump on the bandwagon; my dear husband, even more so.  Admittedly, we were most likely one of the last to acquire a microwave, pager, cell phone, computer, the Internet, iPod, and if cars still came with manual windows, we would have them too! And I can say with almost one hundred percent certainty you would not find me purchasing ninety-two dollar running pants just because they are all the rage. While shopping for new exercise apparel we found that our usual brand no longer had pockets. Pockets we need for some of the above mentioned items we were so sure we would never use. Anyway, people kept telling us to go to lululemon. And we kept muttering to ourselves, "What is this lululemon?" Sounds more like a candy store than a purveyor of athletic wear. Ignoring any previous assumptions we ventured in, tried on, and became immediate converts to this Vancouver company, who, as their web page says, "make technical athletic apparel for yoga, running, dancing, and most other sweaty pursuits." And, in all my life, I have never felt fabric so soft and smooth on my skin, "like butta." The absolute bonus is they make you look like a million bucks. It must have something to do with the "4-way stretch power luxtreme, 'no bounce,' with muscle support" that makes you feel like the ninety-two bucks you spent must be the best ninety-two bucks you ever spent. Plus, you can wear the running pants even when you are not running, because not only do they make your butt look good, they have pockets all over the place.
