Oh why why...

i was at sephora on the weekend checking out the new outlet located at the high end mall. i love wandering around the different product stands, always amaze at all the different ranges and prices. i be sniffing and trying out most of the testers till my sense of smell became numb.

as i was happily lost in moisturizers land, i came across a product called FATGIRLSLIM. i don't have to tell you in detail what exactly the purpose of that product. i was taken aback by the name brand. why? cuz i felt insulted by it. now i don't consider myself fat, even if my mom thinks i am. yes i been gaining weight but hell, i'm not 20 and no i don't stay size 10 all my life. on a good day i'm a size 14 if that is fat... SO BE IT.

now, i tried to pass over the initial shock of the product name, till my girlfriend saw it and what do you know.. gurl start cussing!! i was like WHOA...

cuz you see, my girl is kinda big. a size 18 big, maybe. now do i need to ask her why she was cussing, no.

i wonder if any girl above the size of 12 will go and buy the product. but than again, you never know with the society that i'm living in where the skinnier you're the *sexier* it seems, girls, ladies, shim size 12 and below would probably splurge on the product. one thing i have to say, they succeeded in making the name an eye catching product... simply by calling it FATGIRLSLIM.......

blah..

ps: some of the folks whose blog i have enjoyed reading are turning it to private, i'm too embarrassed to ask for permission to read. i've enjoyed reading them cuz, they provide a different window to my life. at times, there's lesson to be learn and take notes. but i guess i have to respect their wishes. sigh ....
