Sometimes I think I really should start my own business
FUCK the outdoor clothing industry. I've just jumped on the synthetic band wagon after running a race in a synthetic shirt, and already I am PISSED off with this corporate niche. I was mad before I starting wearing synthetic materials. I don't want my hiking boots in pink, you marketing schmuck. If a man can wear red boots, so can I. And you know what? I want to. I like red. I don't like pink. Seriously, who wants a ski jacket in light purple? Not me! I want it in forest green. But guess what? I have to buy the man's jacket to get it in forest green. At Big 5 today (I only went there because they had a sale and I had a coupon. I would not suggest it otherwise unless you want to buy crap) I had the wonderful choices of magenta, lavender, pink, and light blue. AHHH! What the hell? Why do all women's outdoor gear come in fucking pastels! Outdoorsy women generally AREN'T girly, so why the hell do they come in girly colors? If it weren't for the FUNCTIONAL benefit I would just give up and buy men's gear. But u
nfortunately, a pink backpack desgined for a woman is by far superior than a navy blue one designed for a man. At least on a woman's body it is. If I want attractive and functional, I have to spend an arm and a leg buying Prana or some other over priced brand. Yes, they are better quality and come in earth tones, but I just can't afford it right now. So I get stuck with pink gear. I should start my own business that markets to woman FUNCTIONALLY and FASHIONABLY. Now, I know a lot of you are probably saying, what the hell, this chick wants to look good outdoors? What kind of yuppie BS is that? Well, I don't use trekking poles and I don't like pink. Does that sound like a yuppie to you? You draw the line. I just like the colors I wear to reflect the person I am. I don't think that is too much to ask. And I am NOT pink. And seriously, if I am going to spend 70 dollars on a fucking biking jersey, it sure as hell is not going to look like that flowered pink-purple someone vomited up a 6 year old's bed room see above. I guess since I don't have any boobs, I could buy a men's bike jersey. Oh, another thing since I am on the topic of boobs, not all small chested women are a size 4, marketing schmucks must be men. Damn it, I am still pissed. I'm going to the gym. Maybe I'll have a business plan after run. Errrr.
