I can’t help but SMILE!!  and send a SUPER S/O to Jes The Militant Baker!!  

  

This picture of The Militant Baker is "THE BOMB DOT COM"

We all know the old saying, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. I personally agree with that saying BUT I also believe... True BEAUTY starts from within and it manifest itself onto the outward appearance which causes ONE TO SHINE!!

Basically I am all about #TeamInsideOutBeauty    

The comments Mr. Jefferies made troubled me because it had to do with our young people. The idea of “cool kids” and the “not cool kids” can be very damaging to a young person's self-esteem. 

 

“Coolness” does not always come in a size 4 nor does it always come in a size 22. 

Thank you Jes The Militant Baker for sharing.

Abercrombie & Fitch's CEO Mike Jefferies views on The Plus Size Community

HELLO WORLD!! I am sure you've heard about Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jefferies statements regarding Abercrombie & Fitch views on LARGE PEOPLE right? If not, this is what Mr. Jefferies said,

“He doesn't want larger people shopping in his store, he wants thin and beautiful people," 

"He doesn't want his core customers to see people who aren't as hot as them wearing his clothing. People who wear his clothing should feel like they're one of the 'cool kids."

“In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,”

“Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."

NOW THE MESSAGE I WANT TO GET OUT TO ALL TEENAGERS!! Please do not fall apart because Mr. Jefferies has a certain view on how Abercrombie & Fitch's customers should look. After-all what does he know? Mr. Jefferies doesn't seem to be happy within his own skin (hence the Botox stare presented in the picture above). 

My message to our blooming young adults is to Love Yourself! You are beautifully and wonderfully made!! Realize that you are an original. Whether you’re a slim size 2 or a curvy size 16; realize true BEAUTY and ATTRACTIVENESS starts from within. It's important to have a great attitude and a kind heart. These 2 traits will cause your outer appearance to shine! Thus... making you stunning!!

Be beautiful inside out! Remember CLOTHING is simply worn to keep you from being a naked BEAUTY. 

I would like ALL TEENS to STAY HEALTHY, SMILE OFTEN AND SHOP AT OTHER STORES! (Don’t support brands that do not support you)

 Audrey Hepburn said it best.

Kudos to those stores that carry over a size 10, like,  H&M, Old Navy, American Eagle, GAP and host of others.
