Gotta Have Faith
Cheap leggings for all!
Heads-up, ladies! This spring, Forever 21 (that bastion of ultra-trendy but self-destructive clothing, fast designer knockoffs at bargain basement prices, and clothes that are worth neither more nor less than the $20 you spent on them) will give us Faith 21, an inexplicable name for what they are referring to as ‘extended sizes’.
For those of us who prefer plain English, that means Juniors sizes XL, 1X, and 2X (more or less, sizes 12 to 18). Starting May 1st, Faith 21 will be available in major cities and online at Forever21.com.

ummm hello?
anyone still here?
seriously, the blog with the most provoking images, the most inspiring images, the most groovalicious of images to be found on the net posts this visual aide?
If you must advertise then please, for the love of this readers addiction to sweet sweet eye candy, please ask the companies send you inspiring, groovalcious, sexy pics. Cause all this image does is confirm my belief that no one should shop this brand, especially BBW.

Lynne – Actually, the article is not a paid advert. It’s us letting the readers of the blog know that F21 is launching a new line, and yes, I do agree their marketing pictorials can be questionable at times. Although we do have paid ads on our site now, we do not participate in “pay for post”, nor do we ever advertise for anything we wouldn’t feel comfortable purchasing ourselves.
However, we get a great deal of email and feedback requesting where to shop for plus sized clothes, and we all know F21 doesn’t exactly cater to anyone over a size 4, so we are excited about this.

Sadly, this was actually the best image they released from the line- trust me, I dug through them all. And, I’m fairly sure if this had been a paid ad they would’ve wanted their $ back after my description…still in all, I figured it would be of interest to our ladies in the size range under discussion.

i just wrote something that would have come off offensive about this brand name.
Then i hit myself on the nose with a rolled up newspaper and said ‘noooo’

Lynne- Yeah, it’s not the most stylish photo, but sometimes it’s actually refreshing to see a pic of somebody looking a bit “average” in a day and age where we are constantly bombarded with uber perfect images of women, which can frankly become alienating sometimes. I don’t wear Xlarge sizes, but I’m not model material either, and fashion blogs often have a way of making me feel like a complete failure as a woman for not being a fucking size zero. Kudos to Haute Macabre for including the Non-Perfect Ones. Too many sites just don’t.

I really think it is high time we finally just accept all people for who they already are, please!
