By now I’m sure all of you have heard about the CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch stating that he doesn’t want ugly, fat people wearing his clothes. How does he keep this from happening? No, he doesn’t have armed guards outside the entrance, mostly because they refuse to wear the clothing, but by not offering sizes XL and XXL in the Abers women’s clothing.

First,
am I the only one who never noticed this during those regretful four years in
middle school which I spent my parents’ hard earned money to look the same
every season? Unfortunately it’s probably because I was always a small or
medium, but let’s not get into that. Second, yes what he said was horrific and
offensive and TRUE OF ANY FASHIONABLE CLOTHING STORE. We might have all gasped
when we scammed the story on Elitedaily.com (because with a title like
“Abercrombie and Fitch CEO Explains Why He Hates Fat Chicks,” who isn’t going
to read that?), but if you think about it for more than seven seconds you
realize that every clothing store only wants hot, skinny people in their
clothes. CEO Mike Jeffries may be an ass, but he’s an honest ass. And a brave
ass. An honest, brave ass. Jeffries is clearly the only company head who’s
willing to state what every other apparel company on solid ground thinks but
pretends not to.
The
fashion industry is so funny—they show exclusively size -5 models who just got
back from 3 hours of hair and makeup (and you know they skipped lunch), and
their size small looks like it should be in the Little Miss section, yet they
are like WE LOVE ALL SHAPES AND SIZES minus yours and yours, and yours. Realistically what CEO is
briefing the marketing and art departments going “Okay yeah the pretty skinny
girls are fine, but what about the chubby homely ones? How can we attract their
business?” Nothing says free marketing like fat ugly chicks wearing your
clothing!
So in
summation, it’s a sad, cruel fact that the fashion industry hates anyone
who isn’t a 32”, 22”, 32” and the height
of an adult giraffe. It is true that while Mike Jeffries is definitely overdue
for a bitch slap and a new mirror (seriously, have you seen him?), he’s not the
only one. But I say regardless of whether you’re fat and/or ugly, buy whatever
the hell you want, except Abercrombie and Fitch because, honey, you’ve got to
have some self-respect.
