I heard that Tracy Anderson was going to have a online chat session today on a Metamorphosis forum to answer questions from the masses about the program. Out of curiousity, I went to the Metamorphosis website and began looking for the forum. As always, I got sidetracked with other fancy links and saw that she was selling a few items of apparrel. This is my finding.
$145.00
REALLY? Perhaps she is a bit out of touch with economics. Perhaps they are made of mysterious fibers that remove cellulite? No...they are made of polymaid and spandex. Also, aren't they a bit Big 80s in design?...I think I remember WWF wrestlers like Macho Man or The Hulk wearing similarly patterned pants, but what do I know about fashion? Then I found this.
$25.99
80s Heavy Metal Rocker Halloween Costume
Includes: Not only the pants, but also 2 scarves and a necktie
Proof positive that I haven't lost my mind...they are Big 80s and overpriced. Just sayin'. Not to mention that the Halloween hot pants cover the entirety of both legs instead of only upper legs, hence using more fabric. It's all about value, people...
Though I'm willing to bet that at Kmart stores around the country there are random pairs of pants similar to this that have been in circulation on the clearance racks since the 80s that no one wants to buy. They may be the running store joke and are priced for $.80. The cashiers are waiting for a person to bring them up to the counter so they may all cheer out loudly and laugh wildly as the lucky buyer exits the building.
Gweneth Paltrow was recently criticized for being out of touch with the economic conditions of others as she would make overpriced suggestions for purchases and treatments on her Goop site. Since Tracy Anderson is her trainer, I'm willing to bet Tracy acquired advice from GP about how to price her pants AND that GP owns a pair.
