Aisle Nine by Ian X. Cho HarperCollins

It’s Black Friday—and the apocalypse is on sale! Ever since the world filled with portals to hell and bloodthirsty demons started popping out on the reg, Jasper’s life has gotten worse and worse. A teenage nobody with no friends or family, he is plagued by the life he can’t remember and the person he’s sure he’s supposed to be. Jasper spends his days working as a checkout clerk at the Here for You discount mart, where a hell portal in aisle nine means danger every shift. But at least at the mart he can be near his crush, Kyle Kuan, a junior member of the monster-fighting Vanguard, though Kyle really seems to hate Jasper for reasons he doesn’t remember or understand. But when Jasper and Kyle learn they both share a frightening vision of the impending apocalypse, they’re forced to team up and uncover the uncomfortable truth about the hell portals and the demons that haunt the world. Because the true monsters are not always what they seem, the past is not always what we wish, and like it or not, on Black Friday, all hell will break loose starting in aisle nine. Perfect for fans of Grasshopper Jungle or The Last of Us comes Aisle Nine, the debut young adult novel from rising YA star Ian X. Cho.

From the New York Times–bestselling author of All Boys Aren’t Blue comes an empowering set of essays about Black and Queer icons from the Harlem Renaissance. In Flamboyants, George M. Johnson celebrates writers, performers, and activists from 1920s Black America whose sexualities have been obscured throughout history. Through 14 essays, Johnson reveals how American culture has been shaped by icons who are both Black and Queer – and whose stories deserve to be celebrated in their entirety. Interspersed with personal narrative, powerful poetry, and illustrations by award-winning illustrator Charly Palmer, Flamboyants looks to the past for understanding as to how Black and Queer culture has defined the present and will continue to impact the future. With candid prose and an unflinching lens towards truth and hope, George M. Johnson brings young adult readers an inspiring collection of biographies that will encourage teens today to be unabashed in their layered identities.

The Hysterical Girls of St. Bernadette's by Hanna Alkaf Salaam Reads / Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

For over a hundred years, girls have fought to attend St. Bernadette’s, with its reputation for shaping only the best and brightest young women. Unfortunately, there is also the screaming. When a student begins to scream in the middle of class, a chain reaction starts that impacts the entire school. By the end of the day, seventeen girls are affected—along with St. Bernadette’s stellar reputation. Khadijah’s got her own scars to tend to, and watching her friends succumb to hysteria only rips apart wounds she’d rather keep closed. But when her sister falls to the screams, Khad knows she’s the only one who can save her. Rachel has always been far too occupied trying to reconcile her overbearing mother’s expectations with her own secret ambitions to pay attention to school antics. But just as Rachel finds her voice, it turns into screams. Together, the two girls find themselves digging deeper into the school’s dark history, hunting for the truth. Little do they know that a specter lurks in the darkness, watching, waiting, and hungry for its next victim…

Payal Mehta's Romance Revenge Plot by Preeti Chhibber Kokila

This laugh-out-loud debut romance introduces perfectly imperfect Payal Mehta, whose plan to get her long-time crush to finally notice her is destined for success, but only if she ignores her budding feelings for her archnemesis... Payal Mehta has had a crush on popular, athletic, all-around perfect Jonathan Slate ever since he smiled at her in freshman–year Spanish class. At a party during spring break of her junior year, Payal finally works up the courage to ask Jon to hang out. However, her romantic plans are derailed when he vomits on her Keds. Twice. But when Jon offers to take her out to lunch as an apology, Payal is convinced this is the start of their love story. Over chalupas and burritos at Taco Bell, Payal's best jokes are landing as planned. Jon is basically choking on his Coke—and then it happens. "Do you have a boyfriend?" Payal is (finally) about to get the guy. And then he tries to set her up with his Indian friend. Payal's best friends, Neil Patel and Divya Bhatt, are just as mad about the microaggression as Payal is, but they think she’s a little too hung up on him. Determined to teach Jon a lesson by making him fall for her, Payal ropes in her archnemesis, Philip Kim, to help by ceding creative control over their psych project. It’s the perfect plan. Minus Philip’s snarky, annoying quips and lack of faith in its success. But as Payal lies to the people she loves, hides the too-Indian parts of herself in front of her crush, and learns that maybe Philip isn't the worst, she starts to wonder if what she's been looking for has been scowling at her all along...

About LOL OMG

Note: This is my OWN personal analysis and thoughts. NOT fact, we have no confirmations about the state of LOL OMG by MGA.

So, it just set in that LOL OMG might be on its last legs/only have a few years left. Here's why I think this.

Lack of regular LOL OMG releases compared to earlier years of the brand and the shifted focus to the BTWs.

To be blunt, it's whiter. To the average doll fan this change might be unnoticeable but as a big lover of LOL OMG, it's hard for me not to notice. What once was around a 3/4 black/brown to white ratio is now a 1/4. Textured hair is still used but far less often. Less Black/Latino cultural references are being used in recent dolls. The leading character of the new Tween movie is white/pale skinned and has a white mentor. I'm worried that retailers are seeing the decrease in sales of LOL and pressuring the team at MGA to lighten their doll lineup. Maybe it's an order from the higher ups at MGA? Idk but taking away brown representation usually means bad things for a doll brand, especially one that was built on that rep in the first place.

Most obviously and largely, they recently lost 71 million dollars in a copyright lawsuit. I have heard some concerning stuff about the accusers but that is not my place to comment on. From a designer perspective, I personally think that whole case was absolute bull but that doesn't change the outcome...

LOL OMG has empowered me in a way no other doll brand has (not even G1 Monster High as a kid). The music, the main 4, the passion and wholesome message behind it all. It gave us representation at a level we had never seen before. If it can do that for me, I cannot imagine what it did for the kids, especially young girls, watching.

I am someone who believes that doll lines should not run past their time. There is a time for everything to end. I am just nervous that LOL OMG wouldn't get the proper send off it deserves. Or worse, that it won't get a worthy successor..

Just my thoughts.

The Chatty Moon Takes Charge: Business & Finances Under the Gemini Moon

Mercury’s swift messenger, the Gemini Moon, flits into action, bringing its signature blend of communication, adaptability, and intellectual curiosity to our business and financial endeavors. For some, this can be a period of booming ideas, quick deals, and fruitful networking. But beware, dear entrepreneurs, under the Gemini Moon’s changeable nature, things can shift faster than a Twitter trend. Buckle up and take notes, as we navigate the highs and lows of this lunar phase for your business and finances:

Prospering Under the Silver Tongue:

Communication Confidence: The Gemini Moon empowers clear and persuasive communication, making presentations, negotiations, and sales pitches flow effortlessly. Leverage this energy to connect with new clients, close deals, and strengthen existing partnerships.

Embrace the “Gift of Gab” under the Gemini Moon! This lunar phase imbues you with captivating clarity and persuasive charm, making sales pitches effortless and negotiations dance in your favor. Whether presenting to potential clients, striking deals, or fostering partnerships, tap into this cosmic fluency. Let your words weave magic, connecting hearts and closing deals with the persuasive power of a silver tongue. Seize the opportunity to build bridges and solidify trust, for under the Gemini Moon, communication becomes your secret weapon for business success.

Idea Powerhouse: Your mind buzzes with innovative solutions and marketing strategies. Brainstorm with your team, explore new collaborations, and experiment with unconventional approaches. Remember, the best ideas often appear when you least expect them!

Under the Gemini Moon’s electric influence, your mind becomes a vibrant marketplace of ideas! Innovative solutions and bold marketing strategies sprout like dandelions, urging you to break free from the conventional. Spark brainstorming sessions with your team, explore collaborations beyond your usual circles, and embrace unconventional approaches. Remember, the most ingenious solutions often bloom unexpectedly, so stay open to those “aha!” moments that pop up while sipping coffee or taking a shower. This is your chance to think outside the box and unleash your inner inventor, igniting innovation for your business!

Network Ninja: This is your prime time to connect and expand your professional network. Attend industry events, join online communities, and reach out to potential collaborators. The Gemini Moon favors quick connections and information exchange, so be open and adaptable.

Sharpen your social butterfly wings, for under the Gemini Moon, networking becomes your superpower! Industry events, online communities, and even casual conversations transform into fertile grounds for expanding your professional circle. Don’t be shy — strike up conversations, join discussions, and connect with open-minded individuals. The Gemini Moon favors quick, information-rich interactions, so be adaptable and receptive to unexpected connections. Remember, a casual chat today could spark a fruitful collaboration tomorrow. Seize this lunar window to weave a web of valuable connections and watch your network blossom like a vibrant garden!

Navigating the Gemini Moon’s Fickle Phases:

Scattered Energy: The Gemini Moon’s flitting nature can lead to multitasking mayhem. Prioritize your tasks, set clear deadlines, and avoid jumping from one project to another without finishing anything. Focus on quality over quantity.

While the Gemini Moon fuels your multi-tasking engine, beware of becoming a scattered squirrel hopping from branch to branch! Its flitting nature can lure you into juggling too many projects, leaving them all half-baked. To avoid this productivity purgatory, prioritize ruthlessly. Define clear deadlines for each task, and resist the urge to jump ship at the first shiny new idea. Remember, scattered efforts yield mediocre results. Channel the Moon’s mental agility into focused sprints, conquering one task at a time with laser-sharp efficiency. Quality over quantity — that’s the mantra for navigating this lunar phase without succumbing to multitasking mania!

Impulsive Spending: The chatty Moon loves gadgets and trends, making you susceptible to impulse purchases. Stick to your budget, research before buying, and avoid shiny object syndrome. Remember, long-term financial stability is more valuable than fleeting fads.

Hold onto your wallets, for the silver tongue of the Gemini Moon can seduce you with the latest trends and must-have gadgets. Remember, its chatty nature thrives on novelty, tempting you with impulse purchases that might leave your bank account singing the blues. Don’t let “shiny object syndrome” lure you astray! Stick to your budget like a mantra, research thoroughly before clicking “buy,” and resist the urge to splurge on fleeting fads. Remember, long-term financial stability is infinitely more valuable than momentary thrills. Think of it as an investment in your future success — say “no” to the impulse and “yes” to financial security!

Overpromising, Underdelivering: Enthusiasm is great, but don’t overestimate your abilities under the Gemini Moon’s influence. Be specific about your commitments, manage expectations, and deliver on your promises to maintain trust and credibility.

The Gemini Moon’s energetic spark can fuel your enthusiasm, but be cautious of outpacing your capabilities. Don’t let its fast-talking charm lead to overpromising! Remember, under this lunar influence, it’s easy to underestimate the time and resources needed. Be specific about your commitments, managing expectations realistically. Overestimating your abilities can erode trust and credibility. Delivering on your promises, even if it means scaling back or adjusting timelines, is key to navigating this transit with integrity. Remember, slow and steady wins the race, especially under the ever-shifting influence of the Gemini Moon.

Tips for Taming the Moon’s Mercurial Energy:

Plan, Prioritize, Execute: Before diving into the whirlwind of ideas, create a clear plan of action with defined priorities. Focus on completing one task at a time to avoid the scatterbrained blues.

Before surrendering to the whirlwind of the Gemini Moon’s ideas, channel your inner architect and draft a clear blueprint for action! Define distinct priorities, like pillars holding up your plan. Resist the siren song of multitasking and instead, focus on tackling one project at a time with laser-sharp concentration. Remember, scattered efforts under the Moon’s changeable nature lead to unfinished business and scattered blues. Prioritization becomes your mantra, ensuring each task receives the dedicated attention it deserves. So, grab your pen, map out your priorities, and execute with focused determination — that’s the recipe for success under the ever-shifting lunar tides!

Collaborate & Communicate: Partner with others who can provide balance and different perspectives. Communicate openly and honestly to avoid misunderstandings and ensure everyone is on the same page.

The Gemini Moon thrives on connection, so don’t go it alone! Partner with individuals who offer diverse perspectives, acting as anchors to your whirlwind of ideas. Open and honest communication becomes your bridge, ensuring everyone stays on the same page and misunderstandings don’t derail your progress. Embrace the Moon’s collaborative spirit, leveraging the strengths of your team to tackle challenges from different angles. Remember, two minds (or more!) are better than one, especially under the ever-shifting influence of the Gemini Moon. So, build bridges, foster open dialogue, and watch your projects soar to new heights through the power of collaboration!

Research & Reflect: Don’t let enthusiasm cloud your judgment. Before making important decisions, research thoroughly and take time for introspection. Use the Moon’s analytical side to weigh pros and cons carefully.

Under the Gemini Moon’s intoxicating energy, enthusiasm might mask potential pitfalls. Before diving headfirst into decisions, don’t let excitement overpower reason. Tap into the Moon’s analytical side! Conduct thorough research, examining details and potential challenges with a critical eye. Don’t skip the due diligence — every angle deserves exploration. Take time for introspection, considering your gut feelings and weighing pros and cons carefully. Remember, informed decisions pave the way for success, and under the Gemini Moon, a balanced approach is your key to navigating enthusiasm without compromising wisdom. So, research, reflect, and make choices that empower your future, not just fuel a fleeting impulse.

Remember, dear business owners, the Gemini Moon is a double-edged sword. By harnessing its positive energy while mitigating its pitfalls, you can navigate this transit to propel your business forward and create lasting success. So, put on your thinking cap, sharpen your communication skills, and network like a pro — the universe of opportunities awaits under the silver sheen of the Gemini Moon!

Bonus Tip: For personalized insights, check your own Sun and Moon signs and see how they interact with the transiting Gemini Moon.

Building a Network Marketing Empire with Streaming Apps

The world of streaming apps has opened up unprecedented opportunities for earning and entrepreneurship. When combined with network marketing, these platforms become powerful tools for building scalable businesses. 

Chamet, a leading streaming app with more than 50M downloads, exemplifies this by allowing agents to grow networks of hostesses and subagents while leveraging the platform’s booming popularity. 

Here’s how you can build a network marketing empire with streaming apps like Chamet.

Why Streaming Apps Are Perfect for Network Marketing

Streaming apps connect millions of users worldwide, offering a blend of entertainment and income potential. Their unique appeal lies in:

High Engagement: Live streaming encourages real-time interactions, fostering deeper connections between viewers and hosts.

Scalability: The global reach of streaming platforms means agents can recruit hostesses and subagents from virtually anywhere.

Continuous Demand: The growing popularity of live-streaming entertainment ensures consistent opportunities for income generation.

How Chamet Combines Streaming and Network Marketing

Chamet blends the live-streaming industry with network marketing principles, enabling agents to earn through two primary channels:

Hostess Revenue: Hostesses earn money by engaging viewers through private calls, live streams, and virtual gifts. Agents receive a commission from the total revenue generated by their hostesses.

Subagent Earnings: Agents can recruit subagents who operate their own networks of hostesses, creating a layered income structure.

This dual-income model allows agents to scale their businesses while benefiting from the efforts of their teams.

Steps to Build Your Network Marketing Empire

1. Start as an Agent

To begin your journey, register as a Chamet agent. This grants you access to the agent dashboard, where you can recruit hostesses and subagents, track earnings, and manage your team.

2. Recruit and Empower Hostesses

Hostesses are the foundation of your network marketing empire. Focus on recruiting individuals who are:

Charismatic and confident on camera.

Consistent in their live-streaming efforts.

Motivated to maximize their earnings.

Offer training and support to help your hostesses succeed. Provide tips on audience engagement, optimizing their streaming setup, and participating in Chamet’s events to boost visibility and income.

3. Expand with Subagents

Subagents amplify your reach and revenue by building their own networks. Recruit subagents who have:

Experience in sales, marketing, or leadership roles.

An understanding of network marketing principles.

The drive to grow their businesses independently.

Mentor your subagents by sharing best practices, offering guidance, and celebrating their milestones.

4. Leverage Technology

Streaming apps like Chamet provide tools to streamline your operations:

Agent Dashboard: Track earnings, monitor performance, and manage your team.

Invitation Links: Recruit hostesses and subagents easily by sharing personalized registration links.

Real-Time Translation: Expand your global reach with seamless communication.

5. Use Affiliate Marketing Strategies

Promote your Chamet agency through affiliate marketing techniques:

Share your invitation links on social media, blogs, and videos.

Highlight success stories and testimonials to inspire potential recruits.

Run targeted ads to attract hostesses and subagents.

6. Foster Team Collaboration

A collaborative and motivated team is key to long-term success. Encourage:

Open Communication: Regularly check in with your hostesses and subagents to address challenges and provide feedback.

Participation in Events: Promote Chamet’s daily and weekly competitions to boost earnings and engagement.

Recognition and Rewards: Celebrate achievements through shoutouts, bonuses, or incentives.

Why Chamet Is Ideal for Building Your Empire

1. Scalable Income

With no caps on earnings, your income grows as your network expands. Both direct and indirect revenues contribute to your overall success.

2. Global Reach

Chamet’s international audience allows you to recruit hostesses and subagents from different countries, broadening your network and revenue potential.

3. Flexible Work Model

Chamet’s flexibility lets agents and their teams work on their own schedules, making it ideal for students, parents, or professionals seeking additional income.

4. Daily Payouts

Chamet ensures quick and reliable payouts, motivating your team to stay active and engaged.

Challenges and How to Overcome Them

1. Finding the Right Recruits Solution: Target individuals with strong interpersonal skills and a passion for growth. Tailor your recruitment pitch to highlight how Chamet aligns with their goals.

2. Maintaining Team Motivation Solution: Offer regular mentorship, celebrate successes, and provide tips for improvement to keep your team engaged and driven.

0130: Defenders #18

Cover Date: December 1974 On-Sale Date: September 17, 1974

We're in the middle installment of the Defenders vs. the Wrecking Crew arc and battles abound as our diminished Defenders line-up is joined by Luke Cage a.k.a. the here-for-hire, Power Man. Valkyrie's identity crisis continues in a cameo appearance. And Hulk, who melodramatically left last issue makes a surprise appearance at the end of the issue. Let's watch people beat each other up!

The Defenders, who currently consist of Doc and Nighthawk, along with Power Man are facing off against the musclebound and muscle-headed, Asgardian magic charged Wrecking Crew. Standing amidst the ruins of the just destroyed building, the police approach.

The Wrecking Crew divert their attention from our heroes to the fast approaching boys in blue. Thunderball lobs his wrecking ball at the speeding vehicles and Doc attempts to stop it. The ball actually goes around Doc's shield. It seems the ball is smarter than Thunderball!

Sadly, Doc's shield fails and one of the vehicles is destroyed. The Crew start towards the oncoming cars and the Defenders attempt to get in their way. The Wrecked breaks a water main which sweeps the heroes away. The Crew make short work of the police and attempt to vamoose, but an invisible shield causes a bump on Piledriver's head.

I really don't know why Thunderball thinks the invisible barrier is absurd. They're all magically empowered. But the Crew aren't exactly the sharpest tacks in the box. As the Crew turn back toward the Defenders, we turn our attention to Valkyrie, exploring her identity in the fortunately fictional Cobbler's Roost, Vermont. As Val exits her limo, she recalls what she was told about Barbara Norris with some nice flashback panels. She continues walking, and by an amazing coincidence, someone recognizes her.

Yes, this is a set-up for a future tale. This seems to be a trademark of the Defenders. There are set-ups that take YEARS to pan out! That's it for Val in this issue.

Turning back to the Defenders and the Wrecking Crew, the two groups spend about five pages in back and forth where the two teams are roughly equal. Doc asks them why the think they will prevail. This, of course, leads to a flashback to the Crew's origin.

In a nutshell, Wrecker uses some fellow inmates to break out of prison to find his magic crowbar. The four of them hold the bar while it's struck with lightning and thus the Wrecking Crew was born. The lightning wrecks (pun intended) their clothes and we get what is probably the closest thing to a Wrecking Crew thirst trap pic.

The crew are like "nyah, nyah, we're magic!" and Doc is like "wait a minute, I'm magic too. Heck, I'm supreme magic! It says so in my title!" Doc casts a spell which begins to drain the Crew of their magic power. Suddenly Doc gets a really big headache. Guess what? The Hulk has arrived and is pummeling Doc's invisible barrier. Feedback is a painful thing.

Before Nighthawk and Cage and tell the jolly green giant to calm down, he bursts through the barrier and Doc is out cold. Sadly, this returns the Crew's powers. The Hulk and the conscious Defenders mix it up with the Crew. The Crew realize the barrier is gone and reveal why they're doing this. There's some gizmo of Thunderball's they're trying to retrieve. Of Course the collapsing the building and fighting the heroes has managed to unearth the gizmo. Thunderball opens the case and... it's empty! What next?

So this issue was a secret quest and next issue is an obvious quest for whatever is in Thunderball's metal egg thing. There's lots of exciting fights and battles here. The cutaway to Val is a nice set-up for a future story. When it come's down to it, there's not an awful lot here. The battles take to long and the origin flashback takes too long. More than half the book is people punching or Doc zapping and some snappy back and forth. It's like there was a two-and-a-half issue story and this is what got padded to make it three.

The plot doesn't advance until the last page and everyone is here just to punch and receive punches. The only character moments are Val's as she continues to discover her body's history and Hulk, who has thought things over and want's to be friends with his buddies after all. Doc does show his protective instincts by attempted to keep the Crew from trouncing the police and that's a plus. But, all-in-all, this isn't Len's best work. Let's see what the conclusion has in store.

Strengthen Brand Identity and Fuel Creativity with Sales Quoting Software

For value-added resellers in the IT and office supplies sector, creating a strong brand identity is indispensable. A brand identity not only sets a company apart from its competitors but also fosters trust and loyalty among customers.

However, maintaining a consistent brand image while striving for innovation can be a challenging task. This is where sales quoting software steps in to streamline processes, enhance brand identity, and fuel creativity. The business sales quoting software serves as a comprehensive solution for value-added resellers (VARs) to generate accurate quotes quickly and efficiently.

However its benefits extend beyond mere sales operations; it can play a pivotal role in reinforcing brand identity and fostering creativity within an organization. Here's how:

Consistency in Brand Messaging

A cohesive brand identity is built upon consistent messaging across all customer touchpoints. Sales quoting software allows businesses to incorporate branded templates, logos, and messaging into every quote, ensuring that the brand identity remains consistent throughout the sales process. This consistency reinforces brand recognition and strengthens the brand's overall image in the eyes of customers.

Personalization

While consistency is key, personalization is equally important for connecting with customers on a deeper level. A business quote generator enables businesses to tailor quotes to each customer's specific needs and preferences. By incorporating personalized elements such as customer names, relevant product recommendations, and customized pricing options, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to providing personalized experiences, thus enhancing brand loyalty.

Streamlined Workflows

Creativity thrives in environments where processes are streamlined and efficient. The software that has connections with Cisco Direct data feed automates repetitive tasks such as data entry, pricing calculations, and quote generation, allowing sales teams to focus their time and energy on more creative endeavors, such as crafting compelling sales pitches and developing innovative solutions to meet customer needs.

Data-Driven Insights

Creativity flourishes when fueled by insights and feedback. Sales quoting tools connected to catalog management solutions provide valuable data and analytics on quote performance, customer preferences, and sales trends. By leveraging these insights, businesses can identify areas for improvement, uncover new opportunities, and fine-tune their sales strategies to better resonate with their target audience, ultimately fostering a culture of continuous innovation.

Collaboration and Communication

Effective collaboration is essential for unleashing creativity within an organization. This software system integrated with catalog solutions software facilitates seamless collaboration among sales teams, marketing departments, and other stakeholders involved in the quoting process. Features such as real-time updates, commenting, and version control ensure that everyone is on the same page, fostering a collaborative environment where ideas can flow freely and innovation can thrive.

Brand Differentiation

In a crowded marketplace, standing out from the competition is crucial. Sales quoting tools that have built-in connections with the Cisco catalog empower businesses to differentiate themselves by offering unique value propositions, showcasing their expertise, and highlighting the benefits of their products or services in a visually compelling manner. By effectively communicating their brand's unique selling points through quotes, businesses can carve out a distinct identity in the minds of customers.

Sales quoting software is not just a tool for generating quotes; it is a powerful asset for strengthening brand identity and fueling creativity within an organization. By ensuring consistency in brand messaging, enabling personalization, streamlining workflows, providing data-driven insights, fostering collaboration, and facilitating brand differentiation, sales quoting software empowers businesses to elevate their brand image, engage customers more effectively, and drive innovation forward.

As businesses continue to navigate an ever-evolving marketplace, investing in this software application is not just a wise decision; it's a strategic imperative for success in the digital age.

Running with a Large Chest We have heard of so many brands entering into the sports bra space.  Personally, I say it is about time.  ThirdLove which is another San Francisco company that focuses in on half cup sizes said “sports bra” has become the most-searched term on its website. Nike has tried multiple times to expand into larger sizes.  Lululemon just invested the most amount of money in teh companies’ illustrious history to try to bring in new consumers.   Have you been into an Athleta lately?  The mannequins are designed to represent diversity. Even Victoria’s Secret has been investing more in the category and marketing debuting a line of sports bras and leggings called On Point (which I have a lot of opinions on). “It’s a competitive market for sure, but there’s no company that’s saying sports bra for women, first,” Heidi Zak of ThirdLove said in an interview. Obviously she has not heard of Bloom Bras because that is the entire reason this company exists.   Citing data from market research firm NPD Group, fashion analyst Kristen Classi-Zummo, the sports bra category has been on fire, even during the pandemic, when overall apparel sales took a tumble.  “Women want to be comfortable in their sports bras.  We spent the majority of the past 20 months in them and do not want to go back.  Our repeat purchases are through the roof.” Says Elyse Kaye of Bloom Bras Year-to-date sales of sports bras in the United States have totaled $2.1 billion, up 53% compared from the same period in 2019, she said, citing NPD’s market research. On a year-over-year basis, sales of sports bras are up 48%. “Comfort features are what’s driving the growth,” Zummo said. “And what a lot of brands are offering with sports bras is an elevated essential that’s not just for function and playing sport. They’re pretty and they’re comfortable.”  Plus, for so many women, this is the only wire-free option that they have.  That continues to be a huge driver as more and more folks get on the no underwire train.  Authenticity in marketing comes up frequently.  “You can clearly see the airbrush lines in photography used in most of the brands giving women cleaner and more cleavage. They have altered the body shapes using the magic of technology but that is not what real women look like.  I wish my breasts were symmetrical globes but as a 38DDD, that is actually offensive.” says Chelsea Wilson who worked in the marketing department of several lingerie brands.advertisement in The New York Times in which it issued an open letter slamming derogatory comments that members of Victoria’s Secret’s management team had made toward women. “Direct-to-consumer brands are definitely having an impact,” she said. “We’re seeing a lot of these smaller brands really resonate with an array of different age groups. ... They focus on empowerment. They focus on diversity.”  Elyse Kaye from Bloom Bras agrees with this statement.  “It is our mission to empower women of all shapes, sizes and stages of life.  We want to see how a product is going to look on our bodies before we invest.  Most of the women who find Bloom Bras cannot walk into a store and just buy a bra.  And sizing is the hardest part regardless of where the shopping takes place.” The sports bra market all over the world is seeing huge growth but not from the players you would expect.  There is more of a focus on healthy living but that means something different to all of us. The population has shifted and there is a rise in the conversation surrounding body inclusivity.  The sports bra is the most difficult item to manufacture.  The Bloom Bra, for instance, has 36 different pieces.  It is about engineering for heavier breasts. The bras that slip over the head and the job bras that are two pieces of cloth sewn together are not designed for busty women.  The sports bra is not just for activity any more.  Comfort, breathability and lack of wire-free are driving more and more women to wear a sports bra all day.  The growing benefits of sports bras over traditional bras is forcing traditional bra brands to look at expansion.  Yoga, zumba, Peloton, walking, Zoom boot camp all saw major increases with more and more people deciding to cut expensive, non-inclusive gym memberships and exercise from home. This trend is not going anywhere.   As the category expands, as do the ways we shop for support.   For instance, companies like Bloom Bras focus on Encapsulation using a defined cup structure to encapsulate each breast.  This eliminates the wire but still gives maximum support without uniboob. The wider racerback design works to improve posture and to reduce shoulder pressure. Plus, the digging that occurs in the traditional sports bra or regular bra is eliminated. Compression came from the multitude of breast cancer survivors and surgeons as a key feature that they wanted in a mastectomy bra.  Keeping the breast tissue close to the body, this classic support method provides maximum support and minimizes unwanted movement.  The front zip or back hook or slip over method is a decision that comes down to the end consumer’s preference.  Same can be said for padding.  For the DDD bra-wearer, padding is often not desired.  However, nipple coverage is.  A lightweight material is not going to cover.   The ongoing search for a supportive non-wired bra that also provides great shaping from a 28C - 56L is a challenge.  Mastectomy bras for non-elective breast reconstructive surgery drive a good portion of development and sales for companies like Bloom. The activewear industry continues to evolve with investors pushing for increased margins coming off of the pandemic where companies saw a complete shift in business.  Traditional retail which is where the volume is was hurt temporarily but mom and pops may never recover.  Online businesses, however, skyrocketed.  Companies who were already set up saw margins, customer loyalty and new consumer channels expand.  Supply chain issues are now the bigger challenge.  Brands that rely on production in places like China have seen spikes in material and labor costs with shipping halts disrupting right before the holiday season.  Are these companies bracing and prepared?  Only time will tell.
