“I think I’m a little fuckin’ annoyed!”
We discuss the politics of size — like, literal sizing — and access to fashion. Lesley goes on a strident rant about Reese Witherspoon’s line for Eloquii. Marianne is still mad at Old Navy. Both are ruffled about Gwyneth Paltrow’s plans to make Universal Standard’s “so stylish” fat clothes for thin people. In cheerier news, everybody wants Whitney Mero’s excellent dresses.
Also, the sound on this podcast is a work in progress, as Lesley is busy relearning how Soundbooth works and the secrets to making us seem velvety and radio-friendly. Bear with us, it’ll get better.
