SlimTs Men’s Body Shaping Tank Top claims you’ll instantly look pounds thinner and inches smaller without dieting or exercise. Even if you could tighten your waistline and trim down your love handles with this miraculous man girdle, would it be morally right? I mean, what is The American Man coming too? Would Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier have worn a SlimT under his buckskin shirt? Would Commander Neil Armstrong have worn a SlimT under his space suit when he took his first step on the lunar surface? Sure, they say that the Spandex-blend SlimT is not constricting, won’t raise body temperature and fits under all your regular clothing, but isn’t it cheating to forego diets, exercise and that yearly gym membership? I suppose you could just say that the twelve firming panels are a support for your back, or maybe a posture helper, but… well, I’m just sayin’.
Back in the nineties, your Savvy Shopper was a co-owner of a small creative firm that officed in a very old structure in an industrial (now trendy) area just north of downtown in our upper-midwestern municipality. This old and imposing city-block-size edifice was once a John Deere warehouse many, many long years ago. The building had suffered the indignity of many ill-planned modifications, but we so loved the high ceilings, sandblasted brick walls and exposed beams of our renovated second floor offices overlooking busy Presidential Avenue.
The photo on the right (at least the head) is of Ken, the building manager who came on board a few years into our tenancy. Ken is an interesting person with a storied past. We could relate many amusing anecdotes here, but it’s just not our style.
Anyway, imagine our surprise when Ken popped up in this video for the Contour Core Sculpting System, where you strap an electric belt around your bulging midsection, then watch TV and eat bon bons while passively sculpting abs of steel. Turns out he’s part of the team behind this product.
