So remember when I was talking about my trauma on my bra buying expedition? Here is part two of that.
We were at Target last night and I remembered that I still hadn't bought bras. So, I looked for some while we were there.
Now let me say that my working out has paid off, but I've really only lost about five pounds and I still want to lose another five to ten pounds.
I decided to check out my regular bra size and came upon a discovery...they all fit!
I haven't gone up to such a size that I can't even get into my former size.
Well, this got me wondering. I mean, I couldn't even get those Victoria's Secret bras on.
In the dressing room next to me, some college girls were loudly talking as they tried on clothes. One of them was making a big to do about the fact that the dress she was putting on didn't fit, and she must have gotten really fat. And that's when it occurred to me.
It's a fashion industry conspiracy.
No, really. Think about it.
I think they indiscriminately pick a line of clothing and make each piece of clothing a size smaller than it says on the tag.
Why might they do this, you ask?
Well, it's really quite simple. See, as some neurotic woman is sulking over the fact that she is no longer a medium, she passes the magazine aisle of the department store. That's when the headline catches their eye "fit into that dress by christmas with our great new workout routine!" and so, feeling this is relevant, she buys it.
Well, it doesn't stop there. She reads the article and then browses the five thousand fashion ads. She sees lots of outfits that suddenly she decides she must have, and then back she goes to the store...
But wait. She's kind of cash poor now. That's okay. She has a credit card.
That's right. The fashion designers, the ad industry and credit card companies are all in on it together.
um....
oh come on, cut me some slack! It's better than the crap you see on the X Files every week at least!
Right?
Heh.
