But First, Let Me Buy a 'Runsie'

Straight up, I love Lululemon crops. So much so that I pretended not to hear the asshat CEO fatshaming the non-thigh-gapers last year and continued to buy even after the risk of a peep show was discovered. But a "runsie"? Are you serious right now Lulu? Did your email get hacked and that's why I got this notice of product currently in your inventory? Oh my goodness, I just might have to draw the line at Runsie.

If you shop Lululemon.com, you may know that for every product they give a "Why We Made This" explanation. Oh do tell me, Lulu, I beg you, why you made a "runsie":

"why we made this:
We made this easy onesie to keep us cool and collected when we're pounding the pavement. Lightweight and breathable, it layers easily over our favourite bra so that we can stay comfortable wherever our summer run takes us."

Say what now? Does your summer run take you to Crazy Town? It's a onesie! For a grown ass woman to wear while running. Not ok. And in case you're curious it's not ok to the tune of $98.00. In the essence of fairness, I do suppose elite runners wear one-peice singlets but still... Those are for literal function not fashion whereas, dare I say, I think this one tries to be both? 

I can't decide if I am bothered by this because it's literally one piece and the idea of running in this makes me want to preemptively pick a wedgie (sorry, TMI). OR If it's simply because they are calling it a 'runsie' and the name alone is just dripping with ridiculousness and asking to be mocked.

Tell me, what do you think of a 'runsie' and would you wear one?? (Not that maybe you'd tell me now if you would after I've written this... But hey, prove me wrong - tell me what I am missing?

She can't even look up - that should tell you something...
