Retreat

De-emphasize the "treat." Think more military, retreating from emenent danger.

Delimmas of a fat black girl in the hip hop generation...

So I live in the mid-atlantic now and I have to get used to the fact that I need to dress as though I live here. Although it pains me to have to wear a coat. I am on a mission. Although I aquired a very chic wine pea coat from NY&Co, I know the stark winter soon to come will not give a damn about its wool and polyester blend. Not to mention, I would like to no be dependent on this one coat...

I want a puffer coat. Its nice and warm, and I prefer the hip hop inspired gathered puffer coat that is oh so curvy girl friendly... The thing is...

Babyphat is unfortunately unreliable in its so called "plus size" sizes. The plus sizes are cut oddly and the coats are mad restrictive (or ridiculously loose) regardless of thier 1x 2x 3x labels... This I learn as I try on the new coats on sale at Ashley Stewart. However not only does Nelly's Applebottoms coat fit perfectly for this plus size girl, but they are better priced too! (However, Applebottoms doesn't have any plus size models to show them off... only white decapitated mannequins... whereas babyphat actually hires *a* plus size model for the website).

This... from a woman who has sworn off Nelly products since his actions surrounding the Nelly protest. (PUNK!!) Can I get some pro fat feminists to comment on this issue? Do I have to get skinny to maintain my alliance?
