Meg & I saw the heart butt kit last year at a ride. We were both snickering terribly and trying not to laugh out loud. It looked sillier in person.
Oh, the shorts - they look like cycling shorts with a bikini bottom on the top. Just think - I CAN MAKE THE SAME LOOK AT HOME FOR HALF THE PRICE!!!
Just icky.
Still not as bad as the white men's bike shorts.
Oh my goodness!!!!
I wonder how much the designer is getting paid for that little number.
Cycling gear and ruching how very bizarre.![]()

See, now that you have called them thong shorts, the possibilities for mixing and matching at home are endless. No more boredom.
I can make maybe 15 or so new outfits just by incorporating what I already have at home - the undies and the bikini bottoms.
Can anyone say "accessorizing?"
I thought the jersey would have one of those bikini top designs on them.
Yikes!

Umm perhaps Castelli designers need thwacks in the head & then they may have some sense?
Nods head..ooooookkkkkk...urrrmmmmm..
Ok, the shorts, horrible. I really can't imagine any woman purchasing those shorts. The top....while it definitely isn't me, it is unique and I could see some women liking the top. Overall, I think their summer line has good variety. They have a broad range from minimal to more out there looking designs, plus they tried something different by adding the rousching(sp?) in the front. Their line seems a bit more aggressive than other manufacturers, and maybe they didn't quite get it right this year, but overall, I think it's OK. I can appreciate a manufacturer trying out something different.
I love the women's top. I have a secret fetish for highly constructed, detailed clothes. The shorts make no sense at all.
I guess those awful shorts would appeal to the "Stranger" that Withm ran into (over on her thread "Strange Encounter").

I suppose the ruching might be handy for catching bugs. That extra bit of protein.
