sometimes i feel i'm being reduced to pinkness

The new, simpering face of Torrid.com.

For those of you who are permitted by arbitrary sizing guidelines to shop in "regular sized" stores, Torrid is the fat cousin of Hot Topic. It's general modus operandi is punk, rockabilly and goth clothes for young fat women. They sell cute stuff, and I have a lot of it.

The website used to be all reds and purples and had a very youthculturey vibe, not unlike the Hot Topic. And now it looks an awful lot like a Cosmo (the magazine and the drink both!). I suspect it's supposed to appeal to the late-twenties folk like me who are the store's big customers, but it just makes me sulky.

Yeah, she is cute, I do have to agree with you there. It's just the spoiled celebrity aspect of her personality I don't care for. But! If ye olde Torrid was more like the pre-MTV superstardom Kelly, then it must've been pretty rad. I wonder what the hell happened?? It seems like the punk rocky/gothy stuff comes in an even smaller range of sizes than a lot of the other (incredibly tiny) stuff that most (fucked in the head)clothing manufacturers consider "average", so that reeks double duty, then. Shame on them!
