    The age restriction is such a shame.

    I agree Susan and I am young enough. But I would not be put off by a catalog of 50 year old fit women!

    Particularly since we "old broads" are more likely to be established in our careers/lives and to have the $$$ to buy their gear!

    I guess I can understand the size requirements. I'm not so sure it's about defining what's "right" but to accurately show the product. Perhaps I'm not explaining it right and it's not to define what a woman *should* look like but it is showing the product instead of the person.

    I don't get the age requirement. I've seen people older than me who look younger and I've seen younger people who look older.

    It's too bad. I don't really want to be in photos but to be able to product test would be wonderful. I have all sorts of complaints about various undergarments; I've learned that running is much harsher than cycling.

    Dex, good luck! You ARE photogenic.

    If Moving Comfort checks this thread again, there is a womens only triathlon in Federal Way this weekend (sunday) and a womens only 10K at Greenlake on Sunday. Seems to me those would be perfect places to recruit.

    Did I read those measurements correctly? If you're a medium, your boobage can only be a 34B? Or was that not meant to be a table?

    Not that it matters....my measurements don't align with theirs anyway.

    Guess I have too many athletic skills to apply being as how I'm a short, sturdy, 52 year old road and commuter cyclist, going for my 3rd degree black belt in Aikido and most important .... aspiring 100 push up diva.

    Gosh darn it, too old, too fat and probably too ugly.

    Too old, wrong size, and not enough boobage.

    Guess I shouldn't be wearing Moving Comfort anymore? I don't seem to meet the criteria.

    Oh, shucks, and here I am sitting at my computer wearing... oh, I guess 2 items of Moving Comfort? And I own maybe 8 or 10 more pieces?

    Time to stop buying Moving Comfort. Even though I've worn their stuff for years, I'm just too old now.

    Bummer.

    (helpful hint for the irony impaired: "old" chicks wear Moving Comfort. Get some "old" chicks in your ads, ok?)

    Title Nine, which sells tons of Moving Comfort, seems to do a nice job having models who are real and fairly diverse.

    So does TE!

    Anybody here old enough to remember "Tania" the yoga-chickie from Hawaii who modeled for Title Nine during the 90's and early 2000's? I loved watching her age. She got more beautiful as she got older. (a friend of mine knew her in Hawaii in the 1970's-80's, and I've seen pics of her as a 20-something. Definitely someone who ages well!)

    Go, Dex, go!!!! Pink mohawk? I'd buy Moving Comfort if I saw you modeling! You are cute, and you certainly resonate with the athletic type!

    Guess that backfired, eh?

    I didn't even see the age restriction, I was appalled at the boobage requirement

    That's the kind of thing that makes women feel bad about themselves.

    Awww, and I'm 3 miles from Bothell WA, too. And I'm free both those days.

    Shucky-darn, what a shame.

    Good thing we can shop at TE.

    Do my eyes deceive me on this model?

    Is that a touch of grey? Well earned laugh lines? Over 40 women athletes are HOT trust me I know.

    Hrm...I think I may need to find my tape measure. Those 2x measurements seem really close to mine.
