media + plus size people, wtf is up with that! Options

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.

Woah, thats terrible. I think Pacsun only goes up to a size 12?

Stores like that should at least go up to a size 16. Going into a store, finding something you like, and realizing that they dont even make your size is really depressing. It makes you want to go puke up the McDonalds you just ate. And cry. I used to be a size 14-16, and that's how I always felt.

The only reason people feel offended by it is because they let it.

So what they only go up to size 9.

Pampers easy ups are only toddler size, should we get mad at them because they make us feel like were to big to shit ourselves? No, and this store shouldn't make you feel bad just because you aren't as skinny as other people, accept the fact that they carry small sizes.

Big Dogs only stocks the upper clothing sizes, but that shouldn't make small people feel bad about not being tall enough to fit into one of there t-shirts.

In few words, get over it, don't let it affect you.

Okay... how would you feel if you were so large that you needed to shop somewhere like Lane Bryant? I never got that heavy, but I came close. Could you imagine being a heavy teenage girl, and wanting to wear trendy things from stores like Abercrombie and Pacsun, but not being able to? Plus sized stores dont really carry that kind of stuff. Everything I've ever seen in a plus sized store is geared more towards adults.

Stores like 579 and others should at least have SOME larger sizes. They could at least carry a couple of things, like jeans, in larger sizes. Or even have them availible online.

1. Abercrombie is meant for skinny people (I didn't say that, the person who owns the company did).
2. If being fat makes someone feel bad, then there's a little thing called WORKING OUT & doing your body some good
