COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Police say a man dressed as a woman repeatedly crashed his car into a suburban Detroit lingerie store that had refused to hire him earlier this year.
Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe said Jeremy McIntosh, 27, was arrested Saturday night outside the Intimate Ideas store in Commerce Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit. Damage to the store was estimated at $3,000.
McCabe said McIntosh was wearing "facial makeup, lipstick, blue Capri pants, red 'flip-flops,' a flowery blouse and a matching flowery women's bra." McIntosh told deputies he is homeless and wanted to go to jail because he had nowhere else to go.
McIntosh remained jailed after his Monday arraignment on charges including malicious destruction of property and reckless driving. McCabe says McIntosh doesn't have a lawyer yet.
How could this young man "repeatedly" drive his car into the store and cause only $3,000 in damage? Was he wearing stilletos and unable to mash down on the gas pedal? If ever a situation called for a cute pair of flats, this was it.
it's sad in a country with so much opportunity that a man feels going to jail is the answer after being homeless and unemployed.
don, have you tried driving, or walking in a pair stilettos? :)
you could understand why there was only $3,000 in damage to this lower echelon-esque store, and most of that was structural.
yeah, i'm amazed at the prices at VS, even on sale they are still expensive. it's sad the clothing with the least amount of coverage is the most expensive. Friedrick's is better, they have more stuff on clearance. :)
Why, now that you mention it, Little Red, I do enjoy strapping on a pair of stilettos now and then. I never wear them while driving, though. Always keep them under the seat to put on after I arrive at my destination. And, girl, let me tell you, I look good walking in them. And by the way, was that you who purchased that nice red pair I was eyeing at Macy's the other day? Was that you who shouldered me out of the way? If so, I'm very angry at you. Makes me want to get in my car, drive over and push down on the gas pedal.
I bet they don't give him the job for sure now.
I used to work for Fredericks (decades ago), and it is still more stripper/streetwalker clothes than VS ever could be. Most of my clothes are VS, only because they fit. However, I don't waste money on the pricey barely-there stuff. (I remember one of my jobs at Fredericks, was having to cut out labels from the stuff when it arrived, and sew in "Fredericks" labels in their place. I wondered if that was illegal, but I was only 19 yrs old & not gutsy enough to question it. Even back then, they catered to the tramp that lives in everywoman - there'd be old ladies browsing, not buying - just morbidly curious.
gonna be tough if he has to serve his community service there, eh?
and a FYI...CHECK THE CROTCHES BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!!
"CHECK THE CROTCHES BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!!"
i don't think i want to hear the rest of the story. :)
but when I got them home, I threw out my Glade Air Freshener!
this happened before the wife came into my life, so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
don, sorry, about the red stilettos, hey i'll buy you a beer and we'll call it even :) you can wear those really cute thigh high boots you were wearing.
starling, i'm assuming both of you write under the same name, and the person who responded is the wife. :) yes, many of the clothes are trashy, but not all, there is some less trashy outfits. then, there are some items that are the same no matter who makes them.
littlered - you're right of course. Both stores have both cute & slutty clothes. I always thought it was funny when the old ladies came in to 'browse' the crotchless panties - they couldnt figure them out. (so much for checking out the crotches when they don't have any). Fredericks has come a long way since the 70's though - back then, it was mostly trampy clothes. Now, it's very similar to VS. I remember being stunned at some of the products Fredericks sold back then - butt pads to make your butt plumper (who would wear such a thing? What do you say on a date at 'that time' when you have to remove your 'butt'?) Pasties were big & was enthralled at how women could 'twirl' them in differernt directions. But now, even VS has some strange items - thongs with a string of pearls that have to hurt like hell when you sit down (string of pearls goes up you ass crack). And $10,000 diamond bras at xmas time.
I'll be getting for you next Christmas.
Please provide the correct size....nothing like a good fit.
did you see the matching diamond tong? ouch! not a diamond i'd want after someone wore it. :)
starling, your remove my butt story reminds me of the first time i took my husband into vs. it was after we were engaged, and i wasn't planning on buying anything, just wanted to get his reaction. back then he got embarrassed easily, it was a lot of fun. :) anyway, we walked to the back where a woman was asking a sales lady what bra size she was. rather than measuring her the lady groped her breasts, and the other lady didn't have a problem with it.! oh the look of shock on my husband's face was priceless. :) it's funny, looking back now how we were, and how he became liberal and i turned conservative.
el mahico - I'll take the $10,000 diamond bra in size 34B, and matching diamond thong (thanks littlered) in XS. (You'll need a price check on the thong....)
(and I will consider you 'forgiven',heh,heh)
el machio, make that two diamond bra's and undies same size as starling. :) here's a picture.
