Target is gearing up for summer (it’s June!) and part of that gearing up means making sure the mega-department store’s Targetinistas (made it up) are ready to hit the waves in style. First things first, we’ll need a swimsuit that perfectly matches our personality.
Over one million people have signed an online petition calling for a boycott of Target stores after the chain announced it would allow people to use the restroom corresponding with their gender identity. The petition, organized by the evangelical American Family Association, notes that in order for men to gain entry…
Last week, Target announced a policy of letting trans employees and customers use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity. Cue the freakout!
The War on Christmas is ramping up: another large chain, H&M, plans to close its doors on one of the biggest shopping days of the year.
Everyone loves ugly Christmas sweaters. Everyone loves Target. But not everyone is that into Target’s newest holiday offering—a sweater that makes light of mental illness in order to push a christmas-themed joke.
Target is being applauded for featuring a little girl with disabilities dressed as Elsa from Frozen. The retailer’s most recent weekly advertisement shows various ideas for children’s Halloween costumes and among them is a little girl with arm crutches and leg braces modeling the Disney character’s light blue dress.
Customers shopping at a Target located in Campbell, California were shocked when audio from a porno began playing over the store’s loudspeakers. Gina Young, a woman who was shopping in the store with her two young sons, filmed footage of the incident and posted it on her Facebook. In the clip, moaning sounds and…
Scattered among rumors about Hollywood’s A through D-listers on People’s “News” section are human interest stories that I generally avoid. Today there was a headline about sisters meeting each other for the first time at 9 and 10 years old (too boring), some dog who found a home after losing an eye (too sad), and a…
Target has decided to opt for more gender-neutral labeling in the way it sells toys and other kids’ products. As a segue into their coverage of this shift, Fox & Friends asks a weighty question: “Have the P.C. police gone too far?” They raise an excellent point—the most pressing issue facing America is shaving two…
Over the course of this summer, we’ve seen a trainwreck when it comes to toy companies selling toys to girls, whether it’s Jurassic World or Captain America: Winter Soldier. Now, Target has announced that they’re starting to move away from gendered advertising in their stores for some items.
Target is currently in hot water for selling an ugly shirt that might also be sexist. (Again.) The shirt is sold in the store’s women’s juniors section and features the word ‘TROPHY’ printed in a large, nearly-Beyoncé font. Angry customers have taken to social media to voice their complaints about the ugly shirt, and…
This morning Target launched its collaboration with whimsical print queen, Lilly Pulitzer. And unsurprisingly, it turned into a epic shit show because affordable Lilly Pulitzer is something that a certain kind of Southern woman dreams about a night.
Greetings from a bunker, where I have stockpiled dried apricots and seltzer and plan to wait out everything to do with this #ImNoAngel ad campaign. Good try, Lane Bryant, but no number of beautifully shot images of Ashley Graham will erase years of trying on asymmetric polyester garbage at your stores, hunting for…
Whether that's a good or bad thing, only you can decide. (Please note the green juice as prop.)
Meh. That's what I give Target's new AVA+VIV plus-size collection. To me the new AVA + VIV line is just more of the same of what I've come to expect of plus-size clothing. For the most part designers seem to think that all we plus-size ladies deserve is basics and that we should be happy to even get anything. A video…
The New York attorney general has ordered GNC, Target, Walgreens and Walmart to clean house. He says they're selling fraudulently labeled, bullshit "herbal supplements" that've got to go, pronto, and he also wants to know exactly how they're verifying the products they carry.
Well, well, well—I guess Target wasn't totally full of shit when they pinkie-promised that sharp new plus-size clothing was coming. Will wonders never cease?
After an initial burst of enthusiasm, Target's Lilly Pulitzer capsule collection has already taken one ride on the backlash merry-go-round, for the fact that it'll include plus-sizes but banish them to the website. Now, here comes another question—can the brand's snobbiest fans STAND IT?
Target knows you're a busy parent on the go, so when it comes to shopping, you don't want to waste your time going from aisle to aisle to collect your kid's toothbrushes, mouthwash and Fifty Shades of Grey marital aids. That's why they put all of your needs into one place. They're always thinking of you.
