I think I have a fairly high tolerance for boundary pushing. Indeed, I actually really appreciate the way some folks dance all over the boundaries others have in a death grip. Fifi of LoveFifi is one of my favorite boundary pushers – she is always selling her lingerie with some titillating tag-line. She is a master manipulator of words and she gets folks to open her emails by using her key marketing savvy. I write about Fifi frequently in my blog.
Today though Fifi’s boundary pushing gave me a full-on mental visual that even gave me – the lover of boundary pushing – pause. If you are happily holding those boundaries of yours close to your chest you may want to stop reading now. Otherwise – brace yourself – this is a bit much even for Fifi.
“Scandalous Lickety Split CROTCHLESS Set! $10 OFF!”
Do you have the visual? I know…it conjures up some thoughts that you didn’t expect to be thinking while reading a blog written out of West Fargo. I totally get where you are coming from. Fifi’s email was in my email box between an email from the Oprah show and WebMD…I wasn’t expecting the image I got from Fifi’s email subject line.
So you caught me Fifi – my boundary was unexpectedly pushed by your subject line. Alas, this is one email I didn’t need to click on based on curiosity – the whole mental image came to me straight away…thanks for that. 😉
