A fad in the sense Star Wars is a fad, sure

The Japanese have all sorts of shows and consumer products that they cling to for generations.

Most people in the U.S. haven't heard of Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam, but in Japan, he's more famous than Darth Vader

Not to devalue the age old question of why women like what they do...

"Pink" is Victoria's Secrets line of adolescent fashions...a well-played strategy to get teens into the store that will eventually gravitate to the more risque' undergarments as they get older...

...the tactic worked on my daughter...

as a parent of a 7 year old who wants "pink" pants I said no. I just dont think its appropriate to draw attention to a little girl that way. So the target is teens, funny thing is I never saw them until they started showing up at the gym on 20 and 30 somethings......
