I will be the first to admit, I read Perez Hilton's fashion blog. Celebrity gossip entertains me. I was so excited when he started the fashion blog because it was more about a topic I loved.... fashion. But I read a blog where he is talking about how Hot Topic's sales had plummeted, blaming it on Kristen Stewart (of Twilight fame.) He also mentioned in the post that Torrid's sales are up 2.9%! Great news, right?
Until he said, "Probably because of all the extra fabric needed."
Really Perez? Was that necessary? For somebody that has been talking about how models are airbrushed skinnier (thankyouverymmuch, Ralph Lauren), to make a backhanded remark like that was just wrong. How about a stylish company that is catering to an underserved demographic? Have you looked at the stats on the sales of plus size clothing lately? They make up a large part if the women's clothing market, but are not always given stylish options because it's not the "look" companies are looking for.
You can pick on the big people, Perez. Just remember that you used to be one of them and we will not take this sitting down.
