OK, here goes.
Rant #1: Monday or Tuesday, while at work, I went to the restroom. No biggie. I happened to look in the mirror and cringed. Why is it that so-called "plus-size" clothing isn't really anything but larger sized skinny bitch clothes with an added bit of elastic? I'm a big woman. I have an assload of belly hanging down like an apron. Instead of my tits saggin, it's the belly. Clothes don't cover it unless I buy something 3 sizes too large and even then it isn't a given. Pants that fit and stretch and all that are great, yet why do you put teeny buttons and hooks on fat girl pants?! Nothing kills the confidence more than a fucking button popping off and ricocheting back into your head. OR the hook of a hook-eye closure bending all the way open. Jesus. Kill me, why don't ya. Yeah, yeah, all you skinny bitches say, oh shut up and lose weight already. What, you think I haven't tried? That's not what this rant is about, anyway. It's about clothing designed by skinny people for so-called fat people. A plus size model that wears a size 12? Yeah RIGHT, she's SO fat. And the photos are so air-brushed there's not one hint of a muffin top or thunder thighs. Tops aren't made for big boobs unless they're cut down to HERE and you look like a streetwalker. WHEN did that become professional dress? Who says all fat women, truly FAT women, have to wear dowdy polyester mumus(sp)--ahem, moo-moos--or tent-like clothing with HUGE flowers or cats on them? Of course, if I had big bucks, I'd shop at Lord&Taylor or Macy's and perhaps get some designer fat girl duds. I've done it before, on clearance, of course. And I will say, DKNY does a great job. She may be a skinny bitch but she's got style! ;)
So, that's my rant on fat people clothing.
Rant #2: It's Thanksgiving. Yay. Thankful for this, that and the other. So why is it all I hear on tv, radio, Facebook, is bitching and whining about spending time with family and friends, having to cook all this fancy shit, travel here, it's so cold, whine, whine, whine. STFU already. If you don't like it, DON'T DO IT. I'm 44. I don't give a flying fuck if you like what I say or do. Move on. Yeah it's funny for a few minutes to hear the radio rants of "what I hate about my family on Thanksgiving" and all, but really...why not focus on the positive more? This is the problem with society. We have let the media control us. We ARE the media. Take back the control. Don't let the sleaze control you.
Rant #3: Shopping. Stores are open on Thanksgiving. SO WHAT. Don't like it? DON'T LEAVE YOUR HOUSE!! Stay at home with the family you hate, play a board game, and don't watch the news or listen to the radio telling you what stores are open. LET IT GO. People have to earn a living, correct? Big business has to keep making that money wheel spin, no? Just like something I saw on Facebook about those who bitch about stores being open Thanksgiving are the same ones who will fight to the death over a $25 blender on Black Friday. People. BLEH. You wanna get up at the asscrack of morning to go Black Friday shopping when they really aren't true deals, only inflated "regular" prices allegedly marked down? Be my guest. Usually I like to shop local, but not during holiday madness. I myself will be clicking amazon daily deals and Prime offers and merrily filling my basket/cart from the warmth of my bed without assholes driving like maniacs or clogging up a store. Merry Christmas.
RAVE: As the Dalai Lama stated recently (via Facebook): "We all have the potential to show others love and affection, but as we progress in our materialistic world, these values tend to remain dormant...."
Namaste.
