Abercrombie & Fitch Not Selling Plus Sizes

Abercrombie and Fitch released that they will not be selling plus size cloths for larger women because they did not want larger women to wear their clothes.  They only sell sizes from double zero to ten. Salespeople from the stores confirmed that there were no clothes larger than a ten or XL. Now people are protesting Abercrombie and Fitch. Not only is the store taking a hit for not carrying plus sizes they are losing money because people won’t shop there and plus size shoppers make up 67 percent of shopper in the US.

Killer Potty

What would you do if you were driving while on your way to school and you were hit by a flying portable potty?  A girl in Thorndike, Maine was driving to school when her Jeep was hit by a portable potty. The truck that was holding the potty was leaving the school and it was not secured right and when the truck turned out of the parking lot it fell off and hit the girl. The potty was clean so it wasn’t as bad as a full potty. The girl was also not injured and there were not pedestrians around to get hurt.

Lumina Down But Not Out

Famous art blogger Ben Anderson has decided to change his career path from the blogging world to an artist. He came out with his first piece of art last week with an unveiling of what he calls Remembrance of the Lume. Recently the infamous Chevy Lumina died out on him and he decided the best way to commemorate the passing of the Lume he would turn it in to a piece of art, like it was when it was on the road. When he unveiled his work of art, an old competing blogger, Arianna “Art” Fearing, show up trying to discredit Ben of his accomplishment. When she started to argue with the magnificent artist, she easily lost because she truly had no facts to her argument, she was then forced to blog about sports. Ben still continues to blog about art, but he is more focused on creating it. Fortunately Ben said he found another Chevy Lumina on Craigs List that is exactly the same, but he will never forget his first car. When I talked to him in an interview he said “I hope to finish an entire collection ‘Lume’ art by the end of April.”
