“You are so pretty, but you are so fat!” Yes, I have heard that on various occasions by very rude nail technicians and once on Melrose Avenue while shopping. I walked into store with a friend of mine. The woman who owned the store said it the moment I walked into the store. My friend told the woman how rude she was. I wanted to give her my Mom’s favorite come back for this rude comment. My Mom wants me to say “you’re skinny, but you’re still so ugly.” I just blow it off. Means nothing to me. The only opinions that matter to me come from people who matter to me. Know what I mean?
I just don’t give a rats ass what these people have to say about me, so I do not let it get to me at all. But, it does piss my Mom off when she hears my stories. I have been fat most of my life. I was above average (or under tall) starting around the 3rd grade. I am 44 now, so I have had a lot of time to develop a thick skin on top of all of this sexy fat!
A woman walked into my lingerie store tonight and she was a tall, curvy woman. I asked her what she does for a living and she said she does body waxing. Right away I knew I had to get her info to share with all of our curvy girl customers. So, that gave me an idea. I want you all to share your CURVY FRIENDLY businesses. Please comment here on the blog so we can come back to this over and over and use it as a resource. We can make it like a reference list and share it and add to it as we learn about new curvy friendly businesses. (And bring your cards to my store. Curvy Girl Lingerie, 1535 Meridian Ave, San Jose, CA 95125. Tel 408-712-3809)
I would prefer you share businesses you either OWN or have first person experience with. Please share their FBook page, their telephone number, their website. Anything you can to help us do business with them. Thanks! Ready. Set. Go!
