I should be happy

I just got an email from Torrid.com, a new store opened near me. In Vernon Hills.

Had I gotten this email a year ago, I'd be running there cash in hand. However, I'm not. Not since they turned into a yuppie spawn hell with pinks and whites. Not a mini skirt of sauce or naughtiness. Not a shirt of goth or babe doll. Not a dress of fun or raunchness. None can be found there.

Instead you are greeted with pinks and whites. Fads styles and fad cuts. A fat girls trendy club clothes haven.

Torrid, you can stick it up your pretty pink colored hole.

Torrid, you can stick it up your pretty pink colored hole.

You have such a way with words. :)

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

Do I? I didn't know that. :)

Sweetie, they're a division of Hot Topic, which is a division of The Gap.

You can not be surprised that they caved.

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, however Hot Topic hasn't caved. Fine, not all fat girls like the raunchy mini skirts and see through tops.

However they sold Goth clothing and other neat stuff. But to turn around and completely stop selling the stuff? When I was last in the store I saw a completely different demigraphic come in. I hated it.

Yeah, fat girls need a store like the gap and whatever the hell they are like now. But to completely dump the rest of us? Screw them.

God money I’ll do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to.
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money don’t want everything he wants it all.

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

No. Shit.

[samiitiger.livejournal.com]

=( And I really needed new bondage pants, too... And pink is evil.

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

Well, Hot Topic does seem to be carrying those up to size 26 (on the web page that is. the store itself I don't know)

[darkwing830.livejournal.com]

Humourously though it seems that Hot Topic is slowly strting to carry some larger sizes again....go figure...(lol)

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

I'd noticed that. The Tshirts only seem to be going up to a 2x. The pants and skirts are going up to a 26.

I don't mind pink, honestly, but the styles are just horrendous. And *everything* is either pink, pale lime green, or some other cringe-worthy color. I just paged through everything on the torrid.com website and I saw *one* item that I'd consider buying. One.

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

Pink is horrible. Especially the shades they seem to carry. gawds :P

[artyskox.livejournal.com]

wow.. you're right.. just checked out the web site. It's fat gap.

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

it's the most sick thing I have ever seen.

[lisagems.livejournal.com]

Ya know, I would probably be a lot more upset if they had ever had anything that actually fit me. Everything was proportioned so badly that I wasn't willing to pay money for it. When will clothing designers figure out that if you are wearing a size 3x shirt, your upper arms probably measure more than 11 inches.

and there really is such a thing as fat *and* tall.

[datahawk.livejournal.com]

I've not really had that problem. Especially being tall. :)

It was probably one of the few places where I could buy pants that weren't too tall or too short on me. i loved it.
