The AT and ATLoft thing is already happening. Most of their stores carry up to a 14 in most styles, 12 for others. And they are full of it, the sale racks are always full of the smallest sizes, not the larger ones.
@Hooplehead: So true! There are always so many size 0 and 2 clothes left on the clearance racks, and like three things in size 14 and 16. I hope they lose business from doing this; it's not fair to banish people to the internet because of their size.
@Hooplehead: This happens at SO many stores. There seems to be pretty widespread denial of how many people are looking for different sizes. I am broke and shop at Old Navy a lot, and every time I look through the clearance rack it's literally 80% XS and S.
They also did the relegate-the-plus-sizes-to-the-internet... thing, but I will forgive them because it is the only place I can find pants that fit me.
@dissolver: How many pairs of pants do you have to buy to find one that fits you? I can't even find pants that fit right in a store (this is why I wear dresses everyday; also because they are pretty).
@Hooplehead: I think it depends where you live. In my local AT and ATLoft you can never find 0's or 2's on the sale rack, only 10-14. Ditto for all department stores. I live in DC though and there are a ton of college students so that may be why.
Is it really that hard to stock a few size 16's? It's hard enough to find clothes that fit when you can try them on before you buy; it is kind of annoying (and more expensive) to have to order everything you are interested in, try it on, and send back what you don't want. It's like they are trying to keep size 16 women out of the stores because they don't want to look at them or something...
@save_jinger: Truly, for me, I won't buy something I can't try on (too many chances of it looking poorly). They just lost my business. (which is sad, because I love their clothes.)
Every time I go shopping, I look to my mom or boyfriend (whoever I convince to come with me, they are the most honest people) and say, "skinny bitches" when I can't find a size 14/16. Yet, there are over 15 size 0's - 4's. I live in Texas, SOUTH TEXAS FOR THAT MATTER! We have a need for big hipped clothes. This is why I go to New York and Company and just get size 16 where everything fits perfect on my hips. I don't feel embarassed about my normal hips.
@TXTeacher: It's so annoying to go into a new store and realize that they don't sell anything that fits you. I love my body and need clothes that will fit it, preferably cute ones. Is that too much to ask? Apparently, so...
Don't worry Michelle. Skipping an awards ceremony is no big deal. I plan on sending a proxy to the Doritos awards on my behalf since it conflicts with "Gossip Girl."
In my mind, the blind item catfight went down between Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell. Tyra heard Naomi was starting a new reality show called USA's New Super Tall Chick, and, feeling threatened, she tried to tear poor Naomi's extensions out using only her Magnum eye glare and pout. When that failed, she rolled up her sheer sleeves, unbuttoned her leather vest, pulled off her 6-inch wedge heels and went at it, old-school style. Naomi was almost down for the count when Karl Kaiserroll Lagerfeld looked past his chilled wine cooler and decided it was time to step in.
Gamely pulling the girls apart with a brute strength that seemed unmatched with his sleek, boyish figure, he intoned:
"Dear kerchief puppets, don't zoom about so, for the moon's pupils dilate every time a moddle cries harikari, and for true are your maudlin, Vicodin-laced puddingcups too delectable and drink-up-able for such hamburgler-esque hanky-panky. Also, every oompa-loompa in the ionosphere is invited up to my suite tonight. Ole!"
Sevin Nyne? Is that the Old English spelling of Seven Nine? STOP GETTING CREATIVE WITH VOWELS, PEOPLE, OR I WILL BUILD A HORTENSE MACHINE AND DISEMVOWEL YOU IN REAL LIFE, SO HELP ME GOD.
John Mayer's Twitter feed is one of my guilty pleasures. There I am at work, bored out of my skull, and zing! John Mayer's informing me that he'd like to duet with Taylor Swift.
"Whicih two veteran models got into a "full-on serious fistfight" in a Paris nightclub this Fashion Week? The fight was so démodé, Uncle Karl himself had to break it up."
I would give everything I own (save my dog) to have been there for that. I wish I had insight into how it all went down...
@AbbyNormal: Braincrazy FemiZombie: HA! maybe he's preparing for if Jen dumps him, because then he'll no longer be relevant and have to find a job at Pac-Sun.

On the downside, maybe they should have picked someone with a less checkered past to pose with druggy eyes. Just sayin'.
