I have to watch my step!

This publicity process is going to be very hard for me. We had media training and they told us that we can't respond to every attack that people will make against us. You know how hard I find that to be. I love a good blog war. I take no prisoners. But I can't indulge myself because it could hurt the show and the product we are promoting.

For example there is site called Refinery 29 which did a post about the store. It was very positive and some of the comments were too. But there were a few that were not and I gave a few gentle love taps. Then this guy posted this comment:

There is a difference between being 'plus size' and boarder line obese. One of the problems with WNTW is that they insist upon dressing very large women in things they should not be wearing, such as sleveless tops,skirts above the knee, and clingy fabrics. Just because it comes in a large size, does not mean one should be wearing it. At least in the photo above, the print is somewhat slimming, but more importantly, the large knees, large arms and nauseating cleavage are covered. The woman looks stylish without being a spectacle. Yes, designers should be more mindful of large women because we have become a country of lazy over-eaters, not to mention we do not like to be held accountable for anything, so that is why we hear excuse after excuse for overweight and obesity. That is why there is such a push to make fat the new thin. However, large women--and men for that matter--have to cover up fatty, large, flabby arms, stomachs, thighs, etc. Large, flat knees should be covered, too, as none of these attributes are flattering, and they will all draw negative attention, so the beautiful clothes will be overlooked. There is a certain size, however, where nothing will be flattering and nothing will fit right regardless of who designs it. That is not the fault of the designer or manufacturer. That is the fault of the person. It is a little tiring seeing large women on all of these shows being patronized and told that they can dress in the same things that small women wear as long as it makes them feel good. It is not always about feeling good. It is about facing the truth and wearing what is appropriate.

So I want to go in there and smack him around a little. But I can't. The publicity people would shit themselves and Stacy would get really mad. She says to let it roll our back and ignore it. Not to fight. Of course that's what everybody said about the show runner and that was fucked up. So I am going to do a modified limited hang out on it. I will not directly confront people but I will sock puppet it up and fuck up assholes like this douche. It is funny that he praises our clothes while attacking women who are plus. It is obvious he hates women. Or his life. Or his mother.

And if anyone wants to go give people like that a couple of shots to gin up controvesy and hits I would like that just fine.

We are going to do this undercover of the night.
