AND VERY LOUD MUSIC. Think it's designed to be as offputting as possible for grown ups.</p> <p>As for the clothes, meh, slightly more beausaged GAP, with bigger price, would rather go to Banana Republic. Although I do have an old hollister jacket i got from fleabay years ago.</p> <p>Funny, the A&amp;F group are really into the body perfect thing, there was a topless chap with plastic abs standing in the doorway looking cold and they seem to have greek ideal artwork round the place. The American stores are even less subtle. Just lots of big pictures of abby blokes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4806#post-51085 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:58:27 +0000 kaputnik 51085@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No sexualisation please, we're councilors </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4806#post-51084 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:49:05 +0000 Min 51084@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So you'll be queuing up for it to open then? ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4806#post-51083 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:43:05 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 51083@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>YET ANOTHER benefit of cycling. No door pillars or roof obscuring views... ;)</p> <p>The only other thing I'd say is, "Hollister? Yeuch..." They have a store in Aberdeen and apparently they all have the subdued (i.e. dark) interior will little spotlights on clothes racks. Hipper than a hipster named Hip McHippity riding a hip fixie with hip deep section rims and hip no brakes and hip 6 inch handlebars. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4806#post-51075 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:34:13 +0000 chdot 51075@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://m.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/critics_fear_store_s_steamy_ads_could_distract_motorists_1_2021288" rel="nofollow">http://m.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/critics_fear_store_s_steamy_ads_could_distract_motorists_1_2021288</a> </p>
