Ya, just call this a rant – There are commercials running right now for a clothing line that has a nice snappy tune and a bunch of models dancing happily throughout (I won’t mention any names here but the line is a guy name and also a cuppa – you’ll figure it out). I am not sure if I am the only who has noticed this but did they get all the models from an eating disorder clinic? There is the fact that almost all the clothing is horizontally striped and we all know that only about one percent of the entire population nowadays can actually wear horizontal stripes. Either the clothing company is going to figure out their mistake real fast when the winter stock is still sitting on the shelves next summer OR there is going to be a whole ton of women walking around looking like they cut a dress out of their bed sheets! I am sure someone questioned the intelligence of the clothing line when they hired the size two and size zero models and put those nasty referee looking dresses on them and they all looked HUGE! After firing all the size zero “fatties” they must have had to go on a nation wide search for the skinniest, hungriest looking girls ever! Poor things, they all look like they need a good sandwich. Really, I am not against super skinny, no carb eating ladies. What the problem here is somewhere out there a girl who is a perfectly beautiful size five (don’t some of us wish!) who is going to go to that store, try on one of those super cute, super slim fitting dresses and she is going to look in the mirror and cry. If she happens to be with someone who knows the “law of horizontal stripes” then she may come out unscathed. If not, I fear, she may figure she needs to diet to look like the clothing clad sticks in the commercial. Lesson to be shared: we owe it to the world to ban horizontal stripes (and white shoes and pants – but that’s a personal thing) and I don’t me just us ladies – ever seen a dude in a striped shirt? Need I say more?
