Thread Explains Why Celebrities Always Look Better In Clothes


So the reason you think you look like a pile of dog crap in the same shirt as Hugh Jackman is cause all celebrity clothes are tailored specifically to fit them. Bunch of bastards. I guess the answer is to either get your clothes tailored like actors and models or to stop trying to look like you belong in a magazine. Or just give up on the whole thing, fashion is stupid anyway.

Text - inkdot This weekend I was told a story which, although I'm kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind. A friend of a friend won a free consultation with Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear, and she was very excited, because she has a plus-size body, and wanted some tips on how to make the most of her wardrobe in a fashion culture which deliberately puts her body at a disadvantage. Her first question for him was this: how do celebrities make

Text - told me that Jennifer Aniston is out there wearing a bigger size of Ralph Lauren t-shirt and having it altered to fit her. I sat there after I was told this story, and I really thought about how hard I have worked not to care about the number or the letter on the tag of my clothes, how hard I have tried to just love my body the way it is, and where l've succeeded and failed.

Text - because they have to go up a size, when really the size doesn't mean anything and it never, ever did, and this is just another bullshit thing thrown in your path to make you feel shitty about yourself. I thought about all of that, and then I thought that in elementary school, there should be a class for girls where they sit you down and tell you this stuff before you waste years of your life feeling like someone put you together wrong. So, I have to take that and sit with it for a while.
