I said no because he looks like what he is - an entitled douchebag who is willing to scam others for his own enrichment. So, yes, it is about his looks, but not about whether he is good looking, per se. This is really about how he treats people. If this is how he habitually treats customers, it is unlikely he would…

IIRC Kanye styled and took the photo. It is an ode to his muse ... where his muse ends up looking less than stellar.

He’s thinking about what’s in the box.

Not to mention those look like suede boots. Who wears suede boots to play in a pile of sand? Who has to clean those now?

Yes, fat jokes are still completely ok. Fat shaming still in vogue. Not right, but there you go.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that she isn’t advising him, but rather that who she is precludes her offering advice that would be helpful to anyone not like her.

You know, I think you are right and I just don’t have the required energy to untangle it.

Speaking of higher end, though, I really like Kedem Sasson, his clothes are sort of free-fitting. Many people fit into the same size due to the designs. I have two of his dresses and absolutely love them and wear them all the time.

Universal Standard seems great, they don’t carry my size. I would feel the same way about the mall if there were a place near me that allowed me to stop by when I need a piece of clothing in a hurry. If I have an unplanned event come up it can be a real issue for me.  

Oh, women with their own fashion lines and or fame and existing privilege can also get comped dresses even when they are fat? Great. I am aware of both Dahl and Ditto, and those are outliers at best. See Jones, Metz and Sidibe. Yes, I know people can buy anything they want if they have the money.

Or, t-shirts that cost over $100.00.

Those fat actors must be lying when they say designers won’t provide them with red carpet outfits.

What are you talking about, inclusivity? Fat women continue to wait for the opportunity to shop in huge malls with their straight size friends for basics — forget about their ability to access couture.

I wonder what she does when she faces actually troubling situations? How do you amp up this reaction?

Wow, you set a pretty low bar for success there. People affected were probably too despondent to drink, rape and pillage because their expected luxurious selfies didn’t happen. Drunken rampages just don’t Instagram the same.

What makes the giraffe so special?

I suspect J.Lo’s main secret is starting with the genes that make lifestyle choices have an even greater impact than they might on others.

Internalized homophobia?
