Date: 2008-06-23 05:39 pm (UTC)years ago i went into a LB to buy a big shirt---i like baggy clothes--and the salesclerk told me to GTFO because i was thin! i was just looking at shirts and she asked who i was buying for and i said myself...she flipped out....

I just lost a ton of weight and I'm so afraid every time I go into a "normal" store that someone's going to come up to me and tell me, "Hey, you don't belong in here. You're too fat." D:

Date: 2008-06-23 05:44 pm (UTC)I was doing a project and needed a mannequin, or mannequin parts. I'm about average sized, and was more interested in a curvy mannequin than the super-thin ones most stores have. I walked in and asked if they had a discarded mannequin they'd be interested in selling me, or a catalog that I could check out, and they just rolled their eyes and looked at me like I was retarded.

Date: 2008-06-23 05:43 pm (UTC)"Chubby" is fairly adorable in the range of fat monikers. I don't think the word has nearly the same connotation as several decades ago. Anymore, fat activists and fat positive folks are taking back those words, so it's not so shameful or stigmatizing.

Date: 2008-06-24 01:17 am (UTC)I love their bras, but their clothes are a tad overpriced for my budget. I like when I get those crazy percent off cards in the mail! Because of the stigma of being a "store for chubbies," my size-ten sister would NEVER shop there, even if they did have a size ten.
Good, I say; more for chubby ME!
Heh, they used to use words like "hefty" "Chubby"...what word did Sears use, back in the day, for their Toughskins line? When you were a little chubby? I cannot recall. Was it hefty?

Date: 2008-06-24 01:32 am (UTC)I love LB bras. They're comfy, okay looking, and they seem to thrive on going through the washing machine, and getting stepped on. Then again, I'm a bit below plus-sized, so the other stuff there doesn't fit me. I have been wondering recently how anyone who's not teeny finds maternity clothes (I guess only skinny people are supposed to get pregnant), so that's another market that needs to be filled, too.

The maternity Q has me stumped. Target? Hmmm...
