Oh yeah, FUCK YOU MIA TYLER.

FYI, Mia Tyler, (Steven’s daughter) posted a call-to-arms on her myspace page. It’s for all the big girls to overload old navy with phone calls and e-mails because we’re removing Plus sizes from our stores. Do you know who answers those calls and e-mails??? ME! And I’m tired of it!

The decision was made LAST YEAR. It’s because YOU BIG GIRLS didn’t buy enough. You say that there’s a market for it.. BUT WE DIDN’T MAKE ANY MONEY. THE MARKET ISN’T AS BIG AS YOUR ASS IS. SHIT HAPPENS! GET OVER IT!

Fuckin A…

This just adds such a sheen of sincerity to those form letters they’re e-mailing back to us. All of those “sincere apologies” for our “disappointment.” Doesn’t it make you want to write a charming all-caps letter to Ray?

I had a conversation with one of my casual carpoolers this morning, and she works in the design department of Old Navy that does plus sizes and maternity. I asked her if it is true that they are pulling the plus sizes from stores, and she confirmed it, saying that she thought it was becasue the line had never been properly marketed. Never marketed AT ALL, in fact.

I mentioned women’s comments that I had read here about the fit being odd in many of the plus size garments, and asked how many fit models they utilized. She said ONE. Ohmigod, no wonder they don’t fit most of us properly. Little, local Igigi uses all sorts of different fit models, recruiting people for new lines.

From Mia Tyler, via Wendy:

Today at the store on 18th street and 6th ave in NYC I was made aware of the plan and asked to speak with a manager. When I asked him why they were kicking us out of their stores the reason he gave was that corporate felt it was a poor business decision to incorporate plus sizes into their stores. I questioned how catering to the majority of the United States population was a poor business decision and he told me that I was not the first to ask.

He said the business wasn’t going well in the plus sector and I gave him a list of possible reasons why including their fit and lack of plus marketing. I offered that they should make an effort to fix the problem and find out why they weren’t doing well instead of banishing us to the internet. Turns out that the person I spoke with is also a Customer Service Rep and he’s in charge of feedback to the corporate offices. He encouraged me to get as many women as possible on board to overload Old Navy’s website and telephone lines with complaints about this move in an effort to halt it. Please, even if you don’t wear clothes from Old Navy take a minute to take a stand for all of us.

So there you have it. Take a few minutes now to send a note to Old Navy. Perhaps use more diplomatic words than “suck it.” Feel free to post the text of your e-mail in the comments for those of us who are lazy and want to take the words right out of your mouth.
