I didn’t notice this until I browsed J.Crew’s latest pieces where sizes 000 and XXXS are now available in its regular sizing (petites still end at XXSP and 00P). Even as a relatively tiny person, I think it’s getting a bit too crazy. Do women really have such low self-esteem that they need to feel […]

April Poll Results on Body Image Activists and Petites (and Giveaway Recepient)
Last month, we asked our readers: Do you think anti-size zero activists understand that zero can be a “real” size for petites? The results were definitely not surprising: While 31% of you believed that body image activists only had issues with tall, size zero models, 23% of you believed that they don’t quite understand the […]

But J.Crew is a third floor […]

Other stores slated to hit the downtown mall include Express, Pink (opening across from sister store, Victoria’s Secret) and Juicy Couture. What stores would YOU like to see in Toronto? What […]
From Shorty Stories: Christian Louboutin and Shoe Vanity Sizing
Yeah, I know. I neglected to mention that I’m finally a proud owner of Christian Louboutins! The Prorata 90 mm pumps were purchased from a Christian Louboutin boutique in Hong Kong at the oh-so-hard-to-find size 34 (the similar-looking New Simple Pump starts at 35). Yes, size 34. Not 34.5 or size 35. I don’t think […]
