...going to guess she's refusing to delete the post because she's a fukkin celebrity now.


Rachel Taylor turned tears into triumph recently in an Old Navy store.On Friday, the Louisiana photographer posted a picture of herself wearing a flag tank top in an Old Navy dressing room to the company's Facebook page. In the post, Taylor thanks Old Navy for "having adorable clothes for all shapes & sizes" and describes what she says was an upsetting incident she witnessed in the store.
The skinny on body shaming


"Today I was shopping in Old Navy, standing in between a teenage girl and her mom," Taylor wrote. "The girl picked up a plus-size tank top, showed it to her mom and said, 'Look! Me and So-and-so can fit in this tank top!' Her mom laughed and said, 'Yeah, you could! That thing is huge!'
"I couldn't help it; I started crying," Taylor added.
She went on to say that the tears continued after her husband walked her out of the store, but she decided to go back and buy the tank top to wear for the Fourth of July, as she looked "fierce" in it.



Taylor defended herself on Facebook, saying her posting was not an invitation to be criticized or an attempt to receive free merchandise. She merely wanted to "share my story with Old Navy because I love my new top and appreciate them having cute clothes in all sizes," she said.

"Now I'm refusing to delete it because people should know that they are not alone in their struggles, and even if they seem silly to someone else, their feelings are still valid," she wrote. "As my Mama always says, 'If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.' "

Always get get called names like Alcoholy and stuff like that.

Maybe cause I'm there daily?

Good idea Big Day. Act offended that they sell Mount Gay rum and maybe you'll get a free bottle of the good stuff. Maybe some fireball

..."The girl picked up a plus-size tank top, showed it to her mom and said, 'Look! Me and So-and-so can fit in this tank top!' Her mom laughed and said, 'Yeah, you could! That thing is huge!'
"I couldn't help it; I started crying," Taylor added.

"As my Mama always says, 'If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.' "

The girl didn't even say anything rude or not nice. Perhaps this chicks mama should have built up a little self esteem in her daughter. She's so self conscious, and feeling guilty about herself, she cried. She needs help in so many ways. The story should be about her weakness and what a poor example it is to others.

Instead of dealing with her issues, weight or guilt likely one of them, she takes it out on some innocent teenage girl.

Too much attention on "bullies" these days and telling everyone they are a victim instead of building self esteem in kids leads to teenage girls being falsely accused of bullying...and it gets to CNN

Kahn is right, we are fukked.

So she thinks she looks fierce, but then cries because someone said that shirt could fit two people? Either she's fine with how she looks "fierce" or she's not.

She is not fat. Just full figured. She is proud she beat anorexia and wants the world to know.

"Fierce" as in intimidating, or as in revolting?
