A Strongly Worded Letter to Lu Lu...If That is Her Real Name

Should Lu Lu Lemon have to screen customers? Should anyone be allowed to walk in and buy their awfully stretchy clothing regardless of body type or, dare I say, species...(I'm a dead man for saying this stuff btw)

Here is a store that obviously didn't consider the entire public when they said let's make hot pants for already attractive people. Not, "Well there's some skinny girls out there, and there is some fatty's and some average girls, tall girls, short ones, pregnant girls, halfy's...uhhh yeah...let's just stick to baggy sweat pants shall we?, yeah no stretchy materials. Okay good, let's start making these things, okay great..." That's the conversation that should have happened...but it didn't. I think greed was the driving force here...Where the hell is Bill Hicks when we need him?

Read on...

A letter to Lu Lu Lemon, submitted by a fan, it definitely wasn't me that wrote this, because this is wrong, it's so wrong...I would never...oh God I'm so dead...

My Dearest Ms. Lemon,

So many good things to say and so many reasons to support you, but you have acted as a charity when you had no right to and that's wrong. I'm calling you out Lu Lu.

You can make pants, you can make shirts and you can put your branding in weird places. You can NOT make a 240 pound sack of potatoes look like a pair of thanksgiving hams no matter how tight the elastic is. Nor can you make, what would probably look like a dead featherless pigeon, look like an ass. You led these people into believing it would happen because you sold them this stuff.

Why is it okay for the liquor store to turn away a 15 year old kid but you wouldn't turn away Rita MacNeil if she had 3 pairs of medium hot pants and a halter top draped over her arm with her credit card out. WTF is wrong with you?

Don't make something a fad that can't be embraced by 2 out of 5 people because history tells us they are going to try to fit into it no matter what.

Sincerely,

Blind in Vancouver

I love you guys. This blog is like reading a bad high school newspaper penned by plebian sycophants. The best thing about it is that were any of the celebrities or people that you throw rotten vegetables at were to appear directly in front of you, you’d probably kiss their asses raw. Because as we’re all aware, if you can’t do, you grab some real estate in the cheap seats and call it fun. May I politely suggest that you change the name of this blog? Because it’s an insult to the other 1 million people that fall into the same category.

Yeah either change the name of the blog or get Luke back on his meds. He started out funny but has been sounding a bit mean, manic, and over the top of late.

Well, I didn't really laugh at this one because it is not funny. Fat woman in lulu lemon - shock! (cue cymbal crash)
Fat people get little respect anywhere, and even less so in Vancouver where the ridiculousness of body-conscious Lulu Lemon has its origin. I suppose I'm on JK Rowling's side when she said of her daughters: "I'd rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny, a thousand things before 'thin'."
Wheatgrass smoothie anyone?

Totally true. Mean-spirited, yes. Could have been funnier, yes. But still true.
