I'm 54, plus size, I walk four miles a day 4-5 days a week and I take no pills or potions - prescription or non-prescription.

Great point.  I'm a size 16 and my best friend is a size 4-6.  We are both in our 50's, she's four months older than me.  I have more energy and less health challenges than she does.

Barney's target customer is an anorexic, teen sugar daddy.  Most skinny teens don't have enough disposable income to afford Barney's unless Mom is buying stuff for them.

I'm a size 16 and yes, I'd like to see what a pair of jeans close to my size looks like on a mannequin.  Though this mannequin doesn't have a very "feminine" shape.  Plus size looks far better when a woman has an hourglass shape.

Your comment is very immature.  As you grow up 2nd grader you will discover many fat people have made countless worthwhile contributions to make the world a better place.  Also, most people have some challenge in life. With fat people - you just see their "challenge" on the outside.

I'm a plus size woman and for years I've walked into plus size stores only to see skinny mannequins.  How can I tell what clothing will look like when it's draped on a skinny mannequin?  I'm 54, I still love fashion and spend money to look good.  I should have a pleasant shopping experience just like anyone else.
