Day 47: Dearest Mike Jeffries, Abercrombie plastiCEO: Let me clear my TROAT.


Say What?

As a woman who has struggled with her weight since the age of 9, I am offended and disgusted by the blatant discrimination voiced by plastiC E O, Mike Jeffries. 




“I don’t want our core customers to see people who aren’t as hot as them wearing our clothing.”

If that is the case sir, you may never want to wear your own brand.  If you personify "hot," I  have no desire to be hot. 

Mr. Jeffries, my Mammaw would tell you, "if you live in a glass house, you may not want to throw stones."

As a Columbus, Ohio native, I am ashamed that this brand lives in my town. I have always been proud of my hometown.  Until recently, when Carla Hale was fired from Bishop Watterson and Mike Jeffries had diarrhea of the mouth; I loved the inclusive-ness of my mid-western birthright.

I am shocked and dismayed that blatant discrimination lives in the C-BUS.  Truth be told, I am sure it lives everywhere. 

With all that said...

Mr. Douche-ffries -

Let's just make this easy.  At my heaviest, I weighed 282 and wore a size 24W.  I could only shop in plus sized departments and Lane GIANT.  I hated my choices for clothing.  As I have worked to get healthier, I have lost 1/2 of my bodyweight over the last 5.5 years and am down to a size 6P.

I can pretty much shop anywhere.  I can spend my money where I chose and do not have to be limited to shopping in fat stores. 

What I can tell you is this:  I WILL NEVER purchase anything from Abercrombie.  EVER.

Let me clear my THROAT...

I could not, would not, on a boat.
I will not, will not, with a goat.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
NEVER, Mr. AbercromBIE
Not in a car! You let me be!
I do not like them with botox.
I do not like them with a fox.
I will not wear them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them ANYWHERE

Love, The un-hot Kris
