i was looking around for malls in the detroit area to visit my friend and there aren't Lane Bryant's around in some of them. i can understand not having Torrid but Lane Bryant is a staple for me!
the thing that REALLY pissed me off was this store. 579. 579 is a national retail apparel chain operating in the continental united states and puerto rico, carrying trendy junior clothing featuring sizes 00 thru 9 WTF! it's bad enough i feel fat! the only store i don't feel fat in is target because the 2xls are too big for me! EVEN AMERICAN EAGLE GOES UP TO SIZE 18 ONLINE! sorry for people who shop there, but i think this store is lame, and is affecting anyone above the size of 9 who has heard of it. this is how we get lindsay lohan skinny and it's.... GRR! u heard mine, express your view. |

Personally I feel it is just degrading to women who aren't model material. It isn't even like they are heavier women considering that sizes just after size nine isn't a heavy woman, or even close. Double digit sizes do not mean the person is heavy set. I think awhile back I heard something about how they were going to end the deathly thin models era because it was unhealthy and too many girls were trying to emulate the model body... Something about wanting to see a more natural healthy beautiful body. I'm sure that won't actually take effect for quite some time though because society is still hung up on the perfect bod, which is complete bull, in my opinion. The only perfect bod is the body you are satisfied with, which is what I go by, since I work at a gym.
