LuLu Losers
To all you people who think you are looking cool wearing head to toe lulu lemon, you look like idiots. If you aren’t going to do actual workouts or yoga, why aren’t you wearing normal clothes like you should be? Besides, the stuff is over priced anyway.

Keep it down will ya!Don’t take away one of the few joys I have in life. Hell they should have a donation box out in front of that store.
Busybody much?
What the fuck is Lulu lemon and why should I care?
I just commented on this kind of thing on the Starbucks thread. I must say, when I heard that this place was opening here, I was hoping for some quality yoga clothes that wouldn’t fall apart after a couple of washings- and yes, I only wear this stuff to do yoga, not as street wear. Too bad, I couldn’t find anything there worth the prices they were charging.
I still struggle to understand why other peoples clothing choices are source of such stress to some people. Uggs, Crocs, pyjama pants, LuLuLemon, leggings, big sunglasses. I don’t know how people like you can stand to leave your houses every morning. How do you cope with a world full of people who wear things you don’t like? How can you eat at a restaurant when the person at the next table might be eating something you don’t like? How can you go into a record store and watch people buying music you don’t like? Life must be a constant struggle for you, my friend.
It is funny how people think that what their opinion is of other’s clothing really matters. Like someone should stop wearing the offensive piece being bitched about simply because they said so.I’ve posted before about my opinions on style. I may laugh at something someone wears, I may not like what someone wears, but I’ll defend their right to choose to wear whatever they want.Even overpriced yoga clothes when that person doesn’t do yoga.
By calling lululemon “overpriced” you are insinuating the quality of the product is not reflected in the pricing of the items. I disagree completely. While I would never wear a “head to toe” outfit (of any brand), as a runner and a overall fit person I would have to say the quality and performance of their activewear is second to none. I rarely shop at lulu becuase the stuff I do have lasts for so long – their running shorts are the best in history. So while I think $100 sounds stiff for a pair of athletic pants, the first pair I bought lasted for almost 5 years – I challange you to find athletic clothes of that quality anywhere else in that price range. To me, you just sound jealous. And maybe even fat.
Here we go again, anyone who doesn’t like having their boobs stared at must be flat chested and ugly, and now everyone who dislikes Lululemon must be fat.
I’ve never understood the Lululemon hate. Hugo Boss makes extremely expensive men’s dress shirts, but no one is on here bashing that company. Ecco shoes are waaaaaaay more expensive than say Payless, but no one trashes that brand. Every product has a bargain version and an expensive version. If you don’t want to spend $100 on yoga pants, buy the Joe Fresh version. But why trash Lulu? I don’t get it.
hellakitty: I totally agreed with your comment until your “maybe even fat” comment. Not the best way to put validity into your argument, hon. I’m not tiny, but I wear lululemon when I work out, so why the hell does it automatically mean only non fat people get to wear a certain type of clothing? My best friend has a thyroid condition and has a hard time controlling her weight, yet slags her ass to the gym every single day for a one hour work out just to maintain her size 16 body. So stop being such a bitch already!Anyway, I like lululemon’s product, but it’s become a total bandwagon fad which is kind of pathetic when you think of all the people who buy into it just because of its label and not the actual product. In the end though, OP, you’d probably feel a lot less angry if you just minded your own business in regards to the personal choices of others. Who cares what other people wear anyway? Does it REALLY harm you in the end?
I’ve got a few pairs of Hugo Boss pants. Please don’t hate me. They only stock “large lad” size shirts in Halifax or I’d probably have one or two of those too. And yes, its only because they’re expensive. Bwahaahaha.
“Take various vitamins. You never know what small mineral can eliminate the bottleneck to everlasting health”- “Just like you did not know what an orgasm was before you had one, nature does not let you know how great children are until you have them. Children are the orgasm of life.”- “Live near the ocean and inhale the pure salt air that flows over the water. Vancouver will do nicely.”from LuluLemon. If LuluLemon was a person I’d want to punch it in the face. I also picture Lululem wearing one of those arty round cylinder hats that middleaged art women wore 10 years ago and fucked up looking art glasses. if lululemon was a person.
hellakitty- Thanks for the insult- all 110 pounds of me found it rather an amusing comment. Insulting me doesn’t prove your point, just makes you sound foolish and takes away from your argument.Yes, I called the place overpriced, if you read my first post, you’d see that I was looking forward to that store opening up here. So, I wasn’t one of those who slag off the store out of spite or jealousy. I was just disappointed when I went in and found the prices to be a little extravagant for workout wear. I find it hard to believe that a pair of yoga pants can be worth that much regardless of quality of fabric. I have a pair that I bought at a fitness/sport store in Halifax Shopping Centre that have lasted me five years. Good fabric, fit well and still look good. They only cost $60. That’s a little more reasonable.
To whom it may concern – my response was directed at the op and the op only as he/she/it refers to lululemon wearers as “losers” and “idiots”. In a moment of temporary insanity, I forgot that you can’t say anything about being fat on here without getting slaughtered- my bad. What I should have said was “insecure”. I still stand by my initial argument.
LOL Cranky. Children are the orgasm of life. You know, I’ve often thought that myself, when I was feeling especially pedophiley.
I don’t understand why anyone would bitch about LuLuLemons…sure it might cost a lot, but those yoga pants do amazing things to girls asses.
Lululemon has good clothes, but whatever happened to dressing nicely? Sportswear as regular wear looks so bad, and it makes people look cheap even though they pay good money for it. Wear your lululemon in your bullshit yoga class, and wear your hugo boss at your bullshit job – people should take some pride in how they look and wearing sportswear out and about is awful. Just awful.
