What do you get when a trashy cut-rate stripper website decides to start carrying plus-sized clothes? Why-- badly photoshopped images of lingerie and costumes, of course!!! Can anybody tell me why most of these "plus-sized models" appear to be suffering from shrunken head syndrome and the beginning stages of Violet's full-of-juice condition from Willy Wonka? Anybody? Have a theory? Cuz I got nothing.

Some of those women do not look remotely plus-sized.

a lot of sites do that, just show the avg.-sizes picture so that the plus-sized folks know that they carry it in larger sizes--- except then the larger-sized costume or lingerie item looks like total crap because it doesn't fit the same way at all! Yeah. Except that.

Hey, also...would you like to hang out sometime this weekend? Dress EGL? Get a poofy drink at some overrated bar/club and possibly even take a few photos?

My only off-day of this week is Friday. So I can hang out with you anytime on Fri. during the day or early evening, but the rest of my weekend is Teh Suck.

Awesomeness! Friday it is-- which is my payday, so I say we start on Belmont and SHOP and then end up in some sort of happy hour-- possibly at Ceasar's-- "Home of the Killer Margaritas" :D

and we'll be lolita'd to the MAX, of course.

Sounds like a winnar!

Especially since I have yet to be killed by these margaritas. I'll have one the size of my head! :o It's true, I can finish a jumbo margarita.

:O

Well I can't have tequilla but *all* their drinks are excellent so I think it'll be a fun outing :) See you Friday afternoon-- say around 2:30 or 3 so you can come right from school?

That would work just fine. I can make it to Belmont by 2:30 no probs. Heck, if it's nice, I'll walk it!

I used to detest tequila in anything except a margarita due to an unfortunate episode in high school (INVOLVING THE WORST HANGOVER EVER)...but recently me and Jose kissed and made up.

I always like looking at the stuff at Ragstock. Sometimes I find awesome stuff there.

ooo dude I totally forgot-- remind me to pick up a knock-off AP cutsew while we're at Hollywood Mirror :D

I'm-a make it all laaaaacey :P

2:30 at the Belmont stop it is! Let's meet in the station at the bottom of the stairs (that way the guard can keep an eye on my frilly butt if I'm early).

From: [identity profile] josephineisevil.livejournal.com
Sounds good!

And yeah, the AP ripoff shirt is a must. I should rape mine with all kinds of lace, too! I have about a billion yards of cotton lace lying around.

yes, by the words "trashy", "stripper", and "lingerie" you can definitely assume this.

Whoa! I looked when I got home, and all I can say is...who approved those to go public? Surely even the most craven non-designer can see how deeply wrong those "photos" are?

Whoa.

wow. just wow. i think you need to start having some sort of license to use photoshop so that not every twit out there can just make hideous things. those women look like they belong in some medical journal...

srsly. I'm not even *good* at photoshop and I could have done better than that. *Especially* for a business!

Or I'd at least have the sense to be like "Hey, I tried to photoshop these and they look like butt... can someone else please come do them?"

I think this is probably the worst thing my eyes have been laid on in ages. Ages, I tell you.

It looks as if she went a little crazy with those programs that let you see what you'd look like with different hairstyles.

From: [identity profile] dykestar.livejournal.com
LMAO! I used one of those to make an icon of myself as a long-haired blonde once. It was *hilarious*!

do a google search, one of the major hair dye companies (Clairol?) used to have it on their sites so you could see what you'd look like before taking the plunge.

GOOD GOD. i mean, my photoshop skills are pretty rudimentary, but i could photoshop circles around whoever butchered this site, holy bloody fuck. i actutally think one of those corsets is quite pretty, but the pictures just ruin everything. :(

*cries*

(and i'm also of the school of thought that if your teddy is both crotchless and cupless, you really might as well be naked, and you'll probably look better.)

hey, some people like the pointless, excess frills.

*is "some people"*

From: [identity profile] special-patrol.livejournal.com
oh there's nothing wrong with frills. i own some frills myself. most of which i'm probably going to sell because i don't have enough boobelas to look good in them anymore.

so yeah, pointless frills are ok, just don't wear them while badly photoshopped, with a disproportionately small head.

well, in the end the main message is, "Hi. We are a stupid company that is too cheap to hire someone who knows how to work photoshop and is perfectly content with putting ridiculously unprofessional-looking images on our business's website. PLZ TO BE SENDING US YR MONIES, ALRIGHT?!"

It's kind of fun to match them up with the originals...


Other than that, it's annoying in that, "Wait, I want to see it on a real fatty like myself damn you stupid morons!!!" kind of way.
