Target pulled a plus-sized boner last week when a customer stumbled across something peculiar: a gray plus-size dress was listed as "Manatee Gray" while the same dress in regular sizes was called “Dark Heather Gray.”
It made me curious, so I high-tailed it to Target and found a bunch of other potentially offensive color names in the plus-sized section...
• “Jack Black” Black
• Butterball Beige
• Copper (with Cheese)
• All-You-Can-Eat Amethyst
• Cheesecake Chartreuse
• Sumo Sapphire
• Oprah Orange
• Lard-Ass Lavender
• Paula Deen Green
• Raspberry Buffet
• Yo Mamma Mauve
• Submarine Yellow
• Plump Plum
• Can ‘O Frosting Fushcia
• Pot-bellied Pink
• Rose Fatter
• Rosanne Barr-rown
• Brontosaurus Bronze
• White Don’t You Go on a Diet?
Hey, I would wear Yo Mama Mauve :) Sounds beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe Target article about Manatee Gray made me laugh, so I am glad to see someone poking fun at it!
OMG how did I miss that??? Love the bullseye Manatee!
ReplyDeleteDue to my own hiatus-ish status I missed that you were back! Hooray!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow I have to remember not to read you while I'm on lunch, because I think I've got a chickpea lodged in one of my sinuses...
HEHE :) Thanks for making me laugh so hard I peed my pants Jack! :)
ReplyDeleteLMAO oh god thank you for the hard laugh...I needed that.
ReplyDeleteHa! Pretty good list, Jack. True story - a few years ago I was shopping a clearance rack at Marshall's and saw a rather large size navy blue dress with an all-over whale pattern. Wonder why no one bought it and also wondered whose idea it was to make it in ANY size. I pictured the conversation at home, "Let's go out to eat, honey. You can wear your whale dress!"
ReplyDeletelol i would be so embarrassed if i ever bought a dress named that. LMAO
ReplyDeletePot bellied pink! OMG. That would fit right in :)
