Fat Girl Costumes at Walmart

Here is another reason I just plainly cannot stand Walmart. On their website yesterday they advertised a fat girl costumes category for Halloween. With the actual photos of the costumes the labels used the more PC term, plus sized. But seriously, who wants to be a fat female vampire for 30 bucks or a fat diva or witch for $50. For that matter who would want to dress up as an emaciated any of the above? Not to mention did you notice the prices for these costumes are seriously outrageous too? Then there is the whole issue of body image. The emphasis on this and photo shopped images through various advertising venues, billboards, and all kinds of TV and electronic media is tough enough on young girls and even old girls (like me) these days. The truth is there is a lot of variety in the sizes and shapes of the human body, and that is how it is supposed to be. Ever consider that perhaps your imperfection is perfection for you? Regardless, I am not going to Walmart on line or in person for any kind of costume ever. This latest stuff even though it was quickly removed from the website cinched it for me. I’d rather save my money and dress up as Robin William’s Mrs. Doubtfire or Martin Lawrence’s Big Mama with clothes out of my own closet!
