00:08Hi, welcome to ConnieCam. I'm Connie, the senior global editor of Refinery29, and today we are at the 59th Street,
00:14Lexington, Bloomingdale's in New York City, where they have this new contraption called the Meality, which promises to make shopping
00:20for jeans not sucky, which is what it usually is. So let's go check it out.
00:29Basically, we're trying to get rid of the fitting room frustrations. I've seen women go into a dressing room with
00:3330 pairs of jeans and come out with zero. And in tears. And in tears. There's been a lot of
00:37tears involved. And then sweatpants for the rest of the week. So, Elizabeth, is this thing going to kill me?
00:43No. I know it can be a little bit daunting at first, but completely safe. Uh-huh. So what kind
00:49of technology does it use? Is it x-ray or radiation? No radiation. It's like the same waves that are
00:54used for your cell phone. Oh. We actually have people that have pacemakers and women who are pregnant get into
00:59the scanner. It's not like an airport security scan or anything? No. You just have to take off any leather
01:03or metal. It's actually collecting the data points based off the moisture on the surface of your skin. Will people
01:09be able to see, you know, my body on the computer screen? No. There's no picture or anything. It's just
01:14collecting data. All right. So you are ready to go. I'm going to have you hop into the scanner. These
01:19are big old footprints.
01:21Okay. All right. So you want to keep your fingers together. You're going to put your arms out. Straight. Yep.
01:28Point your wrists to the floor and slowly drop them to your side, keeping your wrists bent. Concentrate on whichever
01:33circles at eye level. The wand will go around you twice. Uh-huh. Say as still as you can and
01:37I'll tell you when to come out. This is like a meditation thing. All right. Come on out. I was
01:44afraid to breathe. Cool. So I got my barcode. You are ready to go. Okay. So it's going to show
01:50the
01:50brand, the style, your size, and the price. Now the arrow. It tells you your size. Yeah. Isn't that crazy?
01:56Cool. Now the arrow. See how there's an arrow underneath each of them? Uh-huh. That just indicates your most
02:02ideal fit. So if you click on this refine results, you can shop by brand and by style. So what
02:07if I wanted to do something with a mid-rise? Yep. Then you click save and it's going to pull
02:13up the top 10 recommendations for a mid-rise. Awesome. So these are your top three recommendations. Uh-huh.
02:19I have a J brand high-rise for you. It's a skinny. I've got Guess, a dark wash. This is
02:25a power skinny. And then the Aussie by textile, which is super popular as well. So Elizabeth, thank you so
02:30much for showing me this new technology because obviously it works. You found three pairs of great jeans and I'm
02:36sure everything else on your guide is going to look amazing too. So there's more to do later. But if
02:42I want to take this online, it's possible too after I get measured and everything.
02:46Yeah, absolutely. So you're going to get an email from Meality and then you can create your username and password.
02:51Go on anytime you want and we have over 150 brands and it's not just denim. What? I know. It's
02:56like tops. It's bad. Your credit card. And everything. Okay, I know what I'm going to be doing for the
03:01rest of the day. So thanks for watching. I'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.
