Loading ...Is Old Navy Fat Phobic?
Old Navy lost my sale.
I refuse to pay $7.00 shipping for being plus sized.
This afternoon, while lazily procrastinating on my housework, I planned tomorrows shopping adventure on paper with the web in front of me. That’s when I decided to never buy clothing from Old Navy until they change their policy of only selling Plus Sized Women’s clothing exclusively online and forcing women to pay shipping because they are fat. Yes, you heard it correctly, little ‘ol me is boycotting Old Navy.
I decided to visit Old Navy because it’s my husband’s birthday and he really liked some short sleeved cotton oxford shirts I bought on sale from there a few years ago. I called the closest store to us here in Escondido and asked if they carried Men’s clothing and Plus Sized clothing. The salesgirl chirped back that Men’s clothing is absolutely in the store however, her store and indeed every Old Navy store does not carry Plus Sizes and are “exclusively” online. She pointed out that Old Navy will, conveniently, accept returns in the store. Oh, how nice of them.
Ok, so why are there no Plus Sizes in Old Navy stores? I guess one could argue that there just isn’t a market for Plus Sizes enough to warrant the cost of shipping them to stores. I, however, find that to be a bit of bullshit as most stores that sell Plus Sizes at all have them in the stores. So, in other words, if you’re Plus Sized ladies, the fat surcharge at Old Navy is currently is $7.00. No thanks. I’ll shop where I’m wanted. Well wait…maybe there is a coupon code somewhere exclusively for fat girls for free shipping! No fucking way.

(Magix is) A magical new air-light gel-powder colorless formula that makes all skin tones look flawless… invisible coverage; instant perfection. “This colorless formula is perfect for anyone who want to look naturally flawless and beautiful without looking like you’re wearing any makeup. It’s universally flattering and a secret weapon in your makeup bag,” says Jillian Dempsey, Avon’s Global Creative Color Director. Targets pores: visibly minimizes pores with patent-pending Optix Light-Diffusing Technology. Banishes Shine: holds back shine for up to 10 hours
Shiseido Says:
A colorless-finish foundation that minimizes the appearance of pores and leaves a completely matte finish. Contains oil-absorbing powder to keep skin shine-free and improve the wear of makeup. Maintains a comfortable, fresh feeling with its light, silky texture. Contains Multi-Nutrient Factor, an advanced moisturizer and energizer. Can be used under foundation or alone.
The Winner: AVON’s Magix
At the time of this post, 6 of 7 (86%) customers would recommend Avon’s Magix to a friend next to Shiseido The Makeup Matifying Veil’s 4 of 6 (67%). Comparing SPF, Avon beats Shiseido 20 to 17. For only $10.00 customers receive a generous one ounce of AVON’s Magix compared to a tiny 0.38 ounce for the Shiseido product.

Want it from behind while you play Super Mario Brothers ? - m4w
Date: 2008-07-02, 2:35PM EDTDo you love to play Super Mario Brothers on the Classic Nintendo System? Do you like to get tagged from behind while you do it? This is the post for you then.
You must know your way around the game before we meet, must be open to anal sex, also able to fake an orgasm is a plus. I will send you the address to a hotel and a room number. When you arrive the door will be open. Please come in close and lock the door and close the shades if they are still open. I will be in the bathroom and the door will be closed. Turn on the TV and the Nintendo. Remove all of your clothing. Turn off all lights in the room and kneel down on the bed so you are directly in the light of the TV. You need to be facing the TV with your butt in the air pointed toward the pillows on the bed. Full craigslist.org classified ad here.
