Giving all new meaning to Breaking News, the Canadian athletic apparel brand Lululemon announced over the weekend its sheer disappointment that the company’s popular yoga pants were pulled down from the shelves due to a transparent manufacturing problem: they are see-through.
It was clear Lululemon was caught with its pants down when the bottom dropped out of their stock prices, which fell 3.8% yesterday and continued the free fall another 5.2% in after-hours trading.
The announcement was accompanied by a very flimsy excuse from the Lululemon team:
The ingredients, weight and longevity qualities of the women’s black luon bottoms remain the same but the coverage does not, resulting in a level of sheerness in some of our women’s black luon bottoms that fall short of our very high standards.
Bossy thinks she understands. Weight, coverage, short, high.

Drop dead funny.
This is our modest Canadian version of naked yoga.
I have always found it funny that a community that spends so much time preaching mindfulness, flocks to Lulu like sheep. I have seen more than I care to see of my fellow yogis butts in classes, all proudly stamped with the Lulu logo. (I’m not Japanese so I can pronounce the “l”.) I am mindfully anti-Lulu, and this makes me feel downright smug.
I thought ‘how can the weight be the same if it’s sheer-er/more sheer/sheerier’ ? anyhow, maybe it’s stretchier, which would be good if you’re doing yoga and you don’t want your pants to drop over your ass
