While many people are asking why the fuck would some stripe shave their legs, my question is why are the stripes so different on each leg. Was the right leg (photo right, his left) a test leg and the left turned out much better? Was there a contest and the left leg person won? What the story behind these legs?

I agree! And shirts should actually cover your stomach. I can’t emphasize this too much! Unless it’s a shirt designed not to.

My fifteen year old daughter regularly buys her clothes from thrift stores, completely refashions them into something that fits like a glove and looks fantastic on her and then trades them off with a few friends. She’s 5’9” and a size 12-really broad shoulders, wears a “D” cup, small waist but really muscular thighs.…

Aww that’s no good! I was plus size my whole life and especially since I was 18 at the time I was very aware and sensitive of people’s feelings. I always wanted to help women try things they would just assume they couldn't, or especially I loved just putting something together that made a girl feel sexy or just plain…

I think that’s right. I would add one piece of the puzzle: an assumption that plus-sizes are older ladies. When I find myself in a plus-size section of a department store, I feel like it is all designed for a hypothetical menopausal midwestern aunt who wears jeans and t-shirts (but “dressy” jeans and t-shirts with…

I’m gonna go ahead and assume they think every plus sized woman is in fact an outtake from the People of Walmart blog. Here’s the logic I’m assuming (I would LOVE to be wrong)

It’s pretty telling that at least once on Project Runway, in theory a snapshot of how the fashion industry thinks, at least one jerkoff whispers, “I don’t know how to design for normal women.” Aka anyone not a size 0. Until we start in fashion design schools, we’ve got generation upon generation of designers who…

I have found that there’s always a handful of gems in there SOMEWHERE, and a good salesperson can definitely be the Virgil to your Dante. But my god, what a frustrating way to shop!

I laughed at that and scared my sleeping baby. Because YES! Here’s a tablecloth and capri scrub pants and textured tights. Fake it ‘til you make it!

I worked at Lane Bryant during my summer college breaks, and was consistently one of the best sellers they had. People would come in looking for a shirt and I’d send em out with new wardrobes. It was hard as hell, though. Trying to put together anything resembling fashion at Lane Bryant feels like when Christina…

All of their tee shirts have this kind of bullshit on them. CAN I JUST HAVE A PLAIN BLACK TEE SHIRT?

I am sure he is very aware of the quotas against Asians.

I’ve gotten a lot of recommendation letters and none of them have ever mentioned my race in them. Whose references, in this day and age, mention race? “During her tenure as a Half-White, Half Black sales representative, Michelle went above and beyond to ensure that her customers felt taken care of ...” or “After we…

Why would he need to duplicate it? It isn’t like my social security number or my residence tell people what race I am. They definitely don’t cross reference that with Census data.

Secondly, how the hell are you gonna get in to medical school with a 3.1?

Okay, I can see how that would work and he could get away with it. Who would want to call someone out on their race?

I’m super confused. What documentation would he need to make up to pull this scam? None of the items you mention have racial identifiers on them. His middle name is JoJo. If he looks black in the interview, what awkward white administrator is going to say, I am sorry sir, but I don’t think you are black?

Yeah, but in every application I have ever done for anything, my race was just a box to check. They don’t cross reference that with US census data. He claims to used all his standard documentation during his application. None of that would indicate race and if he put his middle name as his preferred name, they would…

Honestly, I really don't get how you can't know what's happening in VZ, it's been going on for well over a decade.

I'm Venezuelan. You can't even buy an aspirin right now. Drug stores, grocery stores, you name it. All empty.
