Prediction: On the fence
I have mixed feelings about projects like these. One the one hand, successful campaigns like Salon Express (#23 on my True Top Spenders list for the first half of 2012) and Shimmer (#39 on the list) indicate fun body fashions for youngsters can be successful on DRTV. We're almost at the 'three' that would make a category. Perhaps this will be the third one.
On the other hand, past failures (e.g. Bling String) and the fact that the sweet spot for DRTV is a much older demographic always reduce the odds of success for these items.
