Ugh, that milia on her eyelid.

Ugh, that milia on her eyelid.

ELI5 what the fuck a milia is?

 

[beanbag in a hurry]

ELI5 what the fuck a milia is?

It's that white bump on her eyelid.
Milia occur when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. Keratin is a strong protein that’s typically found in skin tissues, hair, and nail cells.

Are those UK sizes?

Yeah and they look accurate. Most high street normal ranges in the UK go from an 8-16 or 18 so I guess a US4-12? Past that your options are a bit more limited and that’s in the UK, which has a large proportion of overweight people. Some shops are starting to do more plus sizes up to a uk 20/24 but by no means all.

If you’re shopping somewhere like Spain then everything is far smaller. European sizing varies quite a bit mainly in height and build - the Dutch are on average really tall, Brits shorter, Spaniards more petite, etc.

Chinese clothing manufacturers just gave up and use centimeters for everything now.

Though it's funny seeing sizing for Chinese customers vs. sizing for international customers. The latter is very close to White House Black Market in the US, who do not engage in vanity sizing whatsoever. The former is like "ohhh you big jumbo, we use much tent fabric to create housing for you."

And also they don't sell anything over like, a US size 16. And those are rare, largest sizes from most manufacturers are around a 12.

So good luck getting the cheap well-made clothes straight from the source, deathfats. Or, well, small fats, Or average women in the US, who are a size 16. I'll take my thin privilege card now.

Was in Disney World last month and the HAES people really hate this one store in the Japan pavilion. It is imported japanese clothing so it goes by their clothing size standards. Largest sizes are XL and they are rare to find and are equal to a L or smaller in US sizes. Felt sorry for the workers there getting reamed out for it, especially since not all of them spoke enough English to fully understand the insanity coming at them.

Spoiler: absolutely haram

Watch at your own risk.

I watched this and it makes no sense at all. Who cares what or who buys stuff in a thrift shop? Sellers can't hang on to items in the HOPE that someone will come along who's the right size to buy something. Totally stupid.

Danielle goes to the thrift store and buys clothing to cut up and make fucking headbands no one will buy out of. She needs to sit her entitled fat ass down.

Grossss I can’t make it all the way through, watching her put those unwashed (ugly af) thrift store items up to her face like that, then she gets a “dog hair” in her mouth Thrift store clothes are damn unhygienic... IMO Best practice is to assume someone shit themselves and died in those clothes (and they often smell like it too)

What are the odds she makes them into headbands without cleaning them whatsoever? Pass the filth on to the customer!

Here's Anna with another low effort Tik Tok, this time creepily shoving a cake into an 18 year olds face. She's old enough to be his mom.

Anna is so lazy with her content. She has always been. Anna may go on and on about how creative she is, but at the end of the day, she is making TikTok videos that a 13 year old could make. Anna doesn't want to be the dancing fat girl on the internet, but she knows that is what brings in the views. (Also, my bad Jackel. I don't know how I lost the video in my reply.)

One point she tries to make is that really poor fats need those plus-size thrift store clothes because they are too poor to buy new ones. Which, at least in bigger cities with better thrifts due to a bigger donor pool and wider selection, isn't true. The prices have gotten higher (while the clothes are of worse and worse quality), and if you just need cheap clothes you really are much better off buying from Walmart or Target or Old Navy. In thrifts, the plus-size selection is terrible, and you've got to have a huge amount of free time to browse through the racks on a regular basis in order to find anything good, or worth re-fashioning and actually wearing. Nobody with an actual job--especially a low-paying one--has time for that shit.

Also, on YouTube, nobody can feel how icky the polyester is, but IRL most of the clothes the refashioners use would not be bought and worn by anybody--they'd eventually end up culled and sent to a textile recycler or a landfill. I doubt the re-fashioners ever wear them again once they've posed for the camera; they're just churning out content. I've seen enough "Before" garments; they're exactly the kinds of muumuus and dowdy, tent-like garments that the FA/bopo crowd whines about, considers an insult, and refuses to buy.

There's a big girl I see around on FB who hits the thrifts and finds all kinds of cool stuff to re-fashion--but she buys too-small clothes and combines multiple garments into something that fits her, and her quirky style. She's genuinely creative, and has a good eye for what will work. Because she's open to buying clothes in any size, she has a lot more bargains available to her. So I've never seen her whine about skinny re-fashioners "depriving" her of fatgirl clothes, probably because she actually wears the garments she makes and the fabrics she chooses aren't shitty polyester. There's a fatgirl who is actually solving the problem of how to dress herself, rather than whine because nobody else will do it, or that she's being deprived.

These lazy layabouts can't be bothered to work a full time job, there's no way they'll stoop to sewing their own clothes. I've mentioned before that a costumer on a budget always goes to thrift stores to look for fatty clothes in decent materials so that they can fashion the materials into costumes. It's much cheaper and time effective than starting a pattern from scratch. The fact is that none of these "ladies" actually wear these things nor do they go out and trawl the thrift stores for things to wear. They do this to find yet another thing to bitch about. They'd find cleaner, more current, better fitting, and cheaper in most cases clothing at those retailers you mentioned.

It's called a washing machine, bud. And also thrift stores are awesome. I have a Goodwill Outlet near me and it's just literal trash-pickin' and you pay by the pound.

The models look absolutely congruent with UK sizing to me. The 12 looks like a tall UK 12, which is a US 8. A US 12 is a UK 16 and there's no way that model is a UK 16.

Was in Disney World last month and the HAES people really hate this one store in the Japan pavilion. It is imported japanese clothing so it goes by their clothing size standards. Largest sizes are XL and they are rare to find and are equal to a L or smaller in US sizes. Felt sorry for the workers there getting reamed out for it, especially since not all of them spoke enough English to fully understand the insanity coming at them.

Yeah, Japan sizes are minimal, in range and size. A UK 10 (US 6) used to be the top size generallly sold in your average boutique aimed at the younger end of the market. There is larger stuff available at the stores aimed at older ladies, but not THAT much bigger and a hell of a lot frumpier. Even the western stores they have only stock sizes within a certain range, or at least used to, things may have changed. You're also shit out of luck if you're much taller than 5' 4" , have long legs or a larger cup size. Japanese are so short and petite anyway, the proportions can be really off on taller westerner even if the clothes are at first glance the right size. Armholes are generally too high, bustlines are seamed wrong. Even a very slim, but taller European girl with a decent-sized bust and longer legs and arms is generally going to have major problems with Japanese clothes and generally defaults to buying at western brands. When the pattern model used to produce clothes is maybe 5' 1" with petite proportions, the clothes produced off this are never going to fit. Same problems happen in reverse - I knew Japanese girls who went to the USA and could only find clothes small enough in the kids's section.

I knew of a lingerie company in Japan back in the 90s that was producing a line they wanted to market in the US or Europe and they were paying American and European women to come in and be measured in detail so they could understand the proportion and sizing differences they would have to take into account when designing for that market. It's never just as simple as 'sizing up' a pattern, even within a market. let alone when dealing with a completely different ethnicity with very different bodies on average.

And this is why Anna couldn't cut it at Sprinklr. Constantly missing work. Luckily as an "influencer" she doesn't have to work a 9/5 and can "help her family" as she spends the next two days wallowing in her obesity spurred chest infection.

Don’t misunderstand me, thrift stores are fucking awesome. I’m saying you gotta wash that shit first. It’s obvious she didn’t because the tags are still on.

Someone took their mania juice....She goes on a huge rant about zippers on back of clothes, how she needs other people to zip them for her, and how they have traumtized her by causing her to get stuck in clothes before.

This is what now showed up on reccomended...

Okay.....seriously...does Shitter have ADHD?? What the fuck with this bitch. Fucking Hamber and Foodie Beauty are not this fucking annoying. And you fucking know I’m right. And for someone with “candy juicy thighs” I don’t see the men lining up to get a taste. Maybe she smears peanut butter on herself and let’s Data go to town. Islamic content baby!!!!

That girl's 'conservative' MOTHER supports her feeder career? What the hell.

Oh, and another case of insisting they are TOTALLY HEALTHY because they claim their blood pressure is super-awesome! Yep, I'm sure that isn't a side effect of being only 22 at all, and things won't go seriously south for you post-30, never mind 40, if you maintain or keep piling on the weight with your 10,000 calorie deep fried pizza dunked in mayonnaise feeder shows. Do people like this really think this sort of thing is a long-term career plan? She's bloated to 400lb at 22, does she really think she can reverse the damage on her body at a later date or that her ahem, 'youthful' looks (relative to other giant 'models') won't deteriorate as she bloats and ages to the point her feeder fans who are probably fixated on her youth right now won't look elsewhere?
