I'm nineteen. I fly airplanes. I live for the sky. I'm always listening to music. I burst into song, all the time. I live my life for me, and worry free. I'm a freshman in college. Chicago Bears. I'm obsessed with sharks and penguins. I adore reading. I love the fall, purely because of football. I'm strong, anything you throw at me, I can throw right back. I play fair. I'm honest, all the time. I'm president of the bad idea club. I love volleyball.
Talk to me, I won't bite. (:
Many of you have probably heard of the CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch’s controversial and flat out rude comments that the company doesn’t sell XL or XXL sizes for women because they want “cool” people to wear their clothes. Well, this blogger wrote an open letter to Jeffries and included these photos of herself and what is considered a “typical” male model body type.
Some quotes from her letter:
“The only thing you’ve done through your comments (about thin being beautiful and only offering XL and XXL in your stores for men) is reinforce the unoriginal concept that fat women are social failures, valueless, and undesirable.”
“This is largely attributed to companies like yours that perpetuate the thought that fat women are not beautiful. This is inaccurate, but if someone were to look through your infamous catalog, they wouldn’t believe me.”
“P.P.S. You should know your Large t-shirt comfortably fits a size 22. You might want to work on that.”
This has to do with fashion, though perhaps not in the way this blog has so far posted. But this sort of confidence is the sort of thing that we want our choices in clothes to reflect. You should be able to wear whatever you want and feel confident - no matter what other people may say or think.
