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. |

I don't blame it all on the media. Everything the media does is for a reason. Money.
If they can't sell their magazines with plus size individuals on the pages, because our SOCIETY thinks that it's not as attractive as thinner people, then that's what they have to do in order to make a profit. People always like to assume that the media is what influences us, but have you ever though about US influencing the MEDIA? Just saying. |
