I can't believe how PISSED she is through this whole video. She is coming unhinged! Wtf.
And it wasn't just the fit of the clothes, it was the colors. Her speech about the color of the green dress was bat shit. Is it really that big of a deal, especially since it didn't fit?
Had they sent her clothes sized to accommodate her hips, I'm sure she would have thrown fits about how all the tops were too baggy. When you wear two radically different sizes, and order a "mystery box" of unknown items, you are asking for disappointment when it comes to fit. She's ordered, tried on (and disposed of) enough clothes by now to know this.
Going on about the olive green dress like that was just nuts. Okay, you didn't like the color. But it was olive, or maybe moss--definitely not babyshit (which is a gold/ochre color). And a lot of her viewers would actually wear that color, so making it out to be the worst color in the world, rather than something she didn't care for personally, is a great way to insult those viewers.
And on top of that, she spent so much time disparaging Universal Standard--a clothing company that is at least
trying not to be part of the problems inherent in the fashion industry--and then goes so far as to urge her viewers to buy sweatshop-made Amazon Basics, which don't make any pretense at all of being ethically manufactured. I mean, holy shit, if she ever had any hope of doing a sponsorship deal with US, she just chucked it out the window. If they don't know about this vid, they really should.
What a fucking mess. She is coming unhinged again, just as she did after she injured her foot while still living in NYC, not long before she moved back to Austin.
She ordered a mystery box and is livid that she didn't like the colors, styles, and that they couldn't predict her freak show proportions.
What really struck me is that she imagines that employees lovingly hand-select the contents of these mystery boxes for each customer, based upon the customer's stated preferences.
She doesn't get that the questionnaire was about
preferences, not full-blown desires. Nor does she get that the boxes are made up
en masse, ahead of time, from whatever inventory is past-season and has been slow-moving.
Whoever does order fulfillment
might be able to select, say, a "warm weather" and "bright colors"
and "jeans" box, especially in smaller sizes, but when you're a 3X and up? You'll get whatever they've got on hand, regardless of your stated preferences, because there just isn't going to be a large selection.
And she's shocked and dismayed to get fall clothes--at the very beginning of spring, when retailers are desperate to offload the last remaining dregs of their fall and winter inventory, even if it means sending them out in random boxes at rock-bottom prices. Anna.
Girrrl. You need to learn how seasons and the fashion cycle work, because anybody
remotely savvy (and even fashion-immune people like me) would know that's what you'll be getting.
She's leaving the tags on so she can "donate" them? Is she catching on that people think she's a hypocrite when it comes to preaching about charity?
If she really wants to make useful donations to charity, not blowing $250+ on "mystery boxes" of dubious clothes, and instead making a $250 cash donation to a charity, is a lot more helpful than dumping her unwanted supersized clothes on them. Hell, she could even write it off. But it doesn't give her the same dopamine hit that buying random shit online does, so she'll keep donating her NWT, seam-popped cast-offs.
