    Default Wow, this kind of kicked me in the ASS

    My friends (None of us you'd ever call "Skinny", but you wouldn't call A, L, or myself fat. We could all bear to lose some lbs, but nothing more than 20ish) and I decided to go to this store that I had never been to before (it being my idea ). I thought it would be similar to Pricilla's seeing as it was decorate very pink and cutesy, etc.

    So, we go in, and whatdoyaknow - it's a dancer store as the women put it. She asked us what she could help us with, I tell her we're just looking around because we've all seen the place before but never actually been in there.

    All is going well, my friend looks at some shoes - tries some on, etc. Both attendants (Both of the attendants are fairly older women - maybe 55+ at least) are fairly helpful without being OVERLY friendly. One of them tells us a few stories about how a dancer friend broke both her ankles on super high heels. Ouch.

    Then we look at the clothing. She points out where the medium/larges are and where the smalls are. Well, even if I weighed 120lbs I'd still be a large simply because I have too ballons (DD's...meh) on my chest. So we're looking at the medium/large and I'm not super impressed. Some are cute, but wouldn't be so flattering on me, and some are just plain ugly. I point out some cute ones to my friends, and vice versa.

    I'm looking at some cute booty shorts, all they have are medium and small. I have a big ass. I can't wear either. I never have any problem to admitting that I am a medium to a large - mostly a large. I have accepted the fact that unless I were to starve myself for a year I will never be a small. My friend A (we'll call her A) comes over and looks at a mini-lycra skirt.

    Of course, upon getting over there she realizes it's too damn small (we have big black girl booties) as is most of the shit in the store. It's obviously targeted towards very small women. "Small" is a word I'd never been called - I'm 5'8, and have been as big as 235 (Yeah, I know) and as small as 140lbs at the same height and I know this.

    The lady has the audacity to look at my friend and say "You know, nothing over there is going to fit you." o.O Well, no shit you old bat? It was so small she had to get within three feet to see the fucking thing! I was slightly floored and didn't think much about it until she starts talking about how she doesn't carry plus sizes anymore because people couldn't admit they were plus sizes.

    I wasn't sure who the hell she was talking to, but I was hoping for her it wasn't to me. It's not that I am a touchy person, but when you run a business you tend to try not to insult people even if it is true. I had to laugh in my head a bit because obviously this woman was no beauty queen, and life hadn't been so fantastic for her.

    Giving her the benefit of the doubt I just kind of blow it off since it wasn't worth anyone's time to talk to her about being rude. I start to leave (Cause why would I give someone who is insulting my friends and probably me) but A and L start looking at the other rack - the rack of smalls. I could feel the sweat start dripping as I knew Norman Bate's mother was going to say something about it. She didn't say anything, but to my suprise the other woman did. She looks at A and L and says "Um, you're not going to find anything that fits you girls on that rack".

    WHOA. Of course they both knew this, they wanted to see the fabrics and much cuter crap in smaller sizes. When did it become a crime to LOOK around a store even if it wasn't your right size? How did she know they weren't buying an outfit for a friend?

    Fucking bitch.
    The moral to the story is, I'm never going to that store again Overpriced ugly dancewear and shoes you can get on Snaz75 for cheaper. Just kidding.

    This is just kind of a funny story, I'm not sure why I took the time to write it but I feel I needed to get it off my chest. Now I'm feeling slightly like a bloated whale but I still have to look at the situation and laugh. Just 25 more pounds.
    Anyone else been in a similar situation? Even if it didn't have to do with weight...

    I did feel pretty shitty until we left the store and got hit on twice. Win some, lose some.

    Were the store owners drunk? Sure sounded like it.

    P.S. I hate how manufactured stripper gear is so small. The Tony Shoes brand has their large/ extra large marked as a 22-24 waist measurement. Who would look at a woman with a 22 inch waist and call her large/ extra large??


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Yeah she doesn't deserve your business, even if there was something in there you wanted. The only thing similar to that I experienced when it came to sizing was at the jeans store Buckle. I had a few jeans in hand getting ready tp try them on...the SA came to me and asked to see what pairs I had, I thought she was going to count them before opening the dressing room door. She looked at them and told me none would fit me right, I needed a style with some room in the butt and thighs. She didn't say it maliciously at all....she came back with 2 pairs I tried them on and they fit perfectly. I thanked her then went to the register.

    So there are ways to be polite about other people's body type...I guess those women didn't learn about customer service.

    I have the flip side of that story. I once accidentially walked into a plus sized store. I'm a size 3. I was browsing, not realizing that everythign there as over a size 14, and the woman came up to me and very rudely stated that I was in a plus sized store, and needed to shop somewhere else. I was shocked she was so mean to me, I didnt realize it was a plus sized store, but I looked at her and said" I realize this is a plus size store. Im shopping for my mother's birthday gift. I'm sorry to bother you tho. I will go elsewhere."
    She backtracked, and said oh, Im soo sorry, I hadnt realized, blah blah. To late. Treat people kindly and with respect.
    People in customer service never cease to amaze me by how rude they can be.

    I know what you mean about the 'curvier' body style.. I always had a HELL off a time finding flattering outfits.. and I was 5'7, 145lbs, 34C... bubble booty. Most commercial stores just don't cater about the curvy girls! *growls*

    But buying stuff online is hard to know if it'll fit too.

    So I know your frustration, girl!

    Why can't you be shopping for someone else? God, do places not want business?
    I thought the point was to GET you to buy some stuff! Although I might tell my best friend about the store. She can never find small enough stuff- the store'd have been perfect for her. Sometimes I wish my boobs were smaller. Still trying to push for a breast reduction. There were some really cute small sized stuff. But even on that rack, there were maybe two or three outfits that might be worth the 50-60 dollars they were trying to charge for a bikini top, bottoms, and a really stringy thong...looked like all the thongs were made out of elastic you use for making necklaces.

    WHOA. 22 inches is large? That might even be an extra small, I don't know many SUPER skinny people with a 22inch waist.

    Yeah that's just stupid. I guess if you work in a sex shop you're more likely to be one of those "say it all" types, which can turn out straight rude and unprofessional. I've had the flip side happen to me as well, I'm 5'11, 125 about, so on the thinner side. I was shopping at Target in the women's section and the lady actually said "Ma'am, the juniors section is over there". Uh wtf lol I'm not that small.

    ^ Being tall, it's hard to find jeans that fit. Not your waist but your legs. I have the same problem even being 5'8...I do have really long legs though.

    They didn't deserve your business-they were rude. There are a lot of rude sales clerks out there. One of my friends is a big girl and I have accompanied her to Lane Bryant and while none of the sales associates have come out and outright said anything rude to me, I've gotten rude looks from them like "Um, WTF are you doing in here?"

    And a 22 inch waist is TINY-I don't know how big my waist is but I'm guessing 28 or 29 inches and I usually wear a medium in stripper clothes, sometimes a small.

    Exactly. I have known a few anorexics whose waists weren't anywhere near 22 inches...that's just unrealistic for anyone - even naturally thin people.

    Oh how frustrating! I can feel your pain....I'm 6' tall and not skinny. I have ass and big ole boobs....so shopping in ANY of those trendy "little person" stores jsut makes me want to tear my hair out.

    I went into a store in one of the high end (gag) malls here, Bebe, and looked around for a while. I realized very quickly that nothing in that store would ever fit my body style...but my little sister who somehow turned out petite (I swear it was the mail man still!) would look great in lots of their stuff.
    The sales girls just stared at me as I walked around....never ONCE did they even offer to help me....and when I pulled a little top from the rack they actually laughed! They stood their giggling behind their hands!

    Bitches.

    Grrrr......


    p.s. I hope no one took offense to that "little people" thing...to me , every one is a little person......

    ^^Wow how rude and even more rude of what the SA did to the OP. Can't believe they laughed at you Exotic. *shakes head* I would never want to shop there again. I'm tired of stripper clothes that don't fit too. 34-36 inch hips are NOT large! I swear they took measurements from 12 year old girls and tried to pass the sizes off as women's sizes for the average stripper.

    22 inches? DAMN.......I'm 5'5" 125, so not fat, but a little thick....I gots some big ole boobs, and an ass.....I just measured my waist....I'm staring down the barrell of 26.5"

    but here's the funny part.....I am in recovery from an eating disorder, at this same height, I once weighed in at 87lbs....I looked gross...especially my back, all ribs, nothing else.....but my old journal says my waist was 25" then....and I promise you, at 87lbs, I was no large/extra large....some of us just have thicker waists....at almost 40lbs lighter than I am now, my waist was only 1.5" smaller, wtf? yay for genetics

    ^^^ Tell me about it! I LVOe my legs and ass, I have a great upper body (thanks Doc!) but I have to work and work and work to keep my tummy in shape! If I gain ANY weight at all, that's where I gain it first.

    But when I look at pics of myself, I don't think I look thick in the middle, I have womanly curves in all the right spots....but by today's standards I am HUGE!

    every now and then I let it get to me, and I wind up very un happy with my body....then I give myself a reality check and get over it!

    ETA: This is actually one of the biggest reasons I quit modeling..... I am a thick girl, there is not a darn thing I can do about that...and based on what the "standard" of today's female body is....I would have to starve myself. And in fact, I was encouraged to do so.

    I think a thick, healthy, curvy body is the sexiest form of all on a woman, and I wouldn't want to change that on myself....

    I had a similar experiance when I went to Torrid. My cousin is plus sized and I was shopping for her. But the bitchy sales girls didn't know that of course, and were just GLARING! Because of that I walked out empty handed.

    I feel like I get treated like this in Abercrombie. I'm fit, but pretty curvy and I hate the way the salespeople in there stare at me. I never go in there anymore.

    Agreed! I have had many a crush on you "naturally thin" girls....sexiness and beauty comes in a variety!

    ^^ Do they sell them as a line or at a store? Surprising Target junior's jeans fit pretty well, aren't too short for me.

    I have to ask Latinarose, what kind of contacts are those you're wearing on your myspace page? Those are friggin' awesome! I wear Expressions brand in Jade and some blue variation (can't remember the name though...)

    I've gotta agree with all the ladies! I love a skinny chick, especially those tall, long legged creatures. However, I am damn sexy with my big arse and boobies. I enjoy looking like a woman now.....and I know my boyfriend enjoys it too :o) I looked ridiculous when I was super-skinny....women look their best when they are at their healthiest weight.....for some of you, that's 5'11" and 125 (wow!) and for some of us, the weight's the same, just subtract 6" from the height. Sure, my rounded tummy bugs me sometimes, but I'm just built this way....and everybody has one or two things that sometimes bother them about their appearance, right? no big deal.
