As always, Home depot treats Alaska and Hawaii as a foreign country...for freaking light bulbs!

"Soft white" is the deal breaker for me on these light bulbs. I absolutely cannot stand yellow light bulbs. I've replaced almost every light in my house with "bright white" CFLs. It's still a little bit of a yellow tint, but not like the gross yellow of soft white. I have "daytime" bulbs in a couple rooms like the…

As a debt collector with 35 years experience, I can tell you that, when validation is requested in any form, the collection activities stop until that validation has been delivered. Any legitimate firm will accept a verbal request as readily as a written request for validation. Further, the initial notice (that must…

That totally sucks but I completely understand. I went years using a laundromat and even though my washer and dryer aren’t new, and I had to have the washer repaired recently, it’s still better than using a laundromat. Sending you happy get-a-washer-dryer-soonish vibes!

I have such a hate relationship with LB it comes with being basically forced to wear their clothes all through high school that was fun /s

As a fellow fatty fatty 2 x 4,

As a fellow fatty fatty 2 x 4, I just want to chime in with the fact that I actually really like this new ad campaign they’ve got running. One, it’s a play on a sick Beyonce song. Two, it’s clever.

I’m a guy who goes shopping with his female partner. She is a ‘plus-size’ (plus WHAT?) and, while I genuinely like shopping with her (I love having a say in what she thinks ‘looks good’) I have to be dragged into a fucking Lane Bryant. Nothing says ‘We hate large women’ more than the selection at LB. It’s as if they…

YES. Everything you wrote in your comment I can co-sign. When I went from a size 24 to a size 18, just that tiny shift from “fat” to “very slightly less fat” opened up an ENTIRE NEW WORLD OF FASHION. I could finally find clothes that fit me *and* actually were well-made and lovely, instead of just picking and choosing…

Lane Bryant would make BANK if they just re-positioned themselves as the Ann Taylor for big ladies. More than anything, I’ve heard that plus size women want well-constructed, professional separates or suits that they can wear to work (and if something can go from office-to-dinner, even better). Like, IT IS NOT HARD.…

AGGGHHHHH I recently lost enough weight to go from “plus” to “regular” sizes for the first time ever as an adult, and it was kind of an awakening. All my clothes have so much structure now, when just a *couple sizes* up, I was being offered horizontal-striped tents. Like, fuck you very much. I felt sexy in my body at…

It seems to me very weird that this is even a conversation. We’ve had mostly fat people in the US for *decades* now. People have been born, grown up, had children. The distribution of “how fat” has remained relatively stable for a long time, too, so it’s not like there’s any excuse for some kind of “OMG, we don’t even…

Dear Lane Bryant,

I went there the other day looking for tops. I tried on a few and put them back on the rack, and when the saleswoman asked me why I didn’t like them, I said they looked like maternity-wear on me. She said it was this thing they’re trying to do with long shirts over leggings. NO NO FUCKING NO. I don’t want that. Make…

What I want to know is: how many plus-size designers are, themselves, plus-sized?

I’m not very happy with Cacique lately either. The only thing I ever use to buy at Lane Bryant was their “Passion Lace Full Coverage Bra” and they managed to mess that up too. They replaced it with a version that they said was the same but there’s a ridiculous seam now over the cup, the straps are narrower, and hurts…

Oh god, the Bedazzled ass pockets. MY ASS GETS ALL KINDS OF ATTENTION ON ITS OWN, THANKS.

I shop at Modcloth because they sell fully-lined dresses in my size made of real, actual cotton. Good luck finding cotton at Lane Bryant.

This purple thing is definitely . . . well, it’s definitely a thing. It looks sort of like someone made a bathrobe out of a towel and a shower curtain.

I feel like Lane Bryant almost single-handedly created and assigned a style to plus size women...one that very few of us actually want.
