A lingerie display at a Victoria's Secret store in the new Green Oak Village Place mall has stimulated a boycott, protest letters and spun off pickets at another lingerie and adult novelty store in nearby Brighton.

Robin Blaszak, a 46-year-old Hamburg Township resident, said she was shocked by what she saw.

"They had six mannequins standing in different ways in G-strings, stilettos and high-top nylons and skimpy bras," Blaszak told the Detroit Free Press for a Sunday story. "I thought, 'I can't believe they're doing this.'

"A lot of young women tend to look at the fashion industry to see what sort of image they should be projecting. "I don't think this is a little thing. It's like that pebble you throw in the water. It has that ripple effect."

Blaszak helped launch a letter-writing campaign with fellow members of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church asking for less racy displays and a meeting with corporate officials.
