Lululemon, purveyor of crotch-flashing yoga wear, is looking for a new CEO after Christine Day stepped down this week. They placed an ad looking for the position that is looking for someone who will "wear The Mansy to lead our company-wide morning chant and kombucha ritual" to lead their company. They're joking ... we hope?
The workout clothing giant's instantly notorious see-through bottoms have been replaced on shelves, but that apparently wasn't enough to save CEO Christine Day from the rare national athletic-gear controversy and her "bend over" test comments amidst it.

Over the weekend overpriced yoga pants peddler Lululemon announced that it wouldn't be able to sell an entire batch of bottoms, after some manufacturing glitch made them too thin (read: see-through).
The yoga business can be as cutthroat as any other, and the battle de jour this time is over pants. Specifically, Lululemon is accusing Calvin Klein of having ripped off a signature waistband.
