I don't disagree with the general idea of the OP either but I can see where Niki is coming from. When I was first reading the post, I felt a little angry but I think its just because how it is worded. It does seem like it comes across as mean.
However, I come from a town where MANY women wear clothes that are way too small or falling out of their tops. But just ngdawg is right in that even skinny girls have bad clothing choices. I sat behind this girl in my calc class who was probably a size 10 but was wearing pants a couple sizes too small so when she sat down her entire thong showed and the guy who sat directly behind her tried to put pens and quarters in her pants everyday.
But on the same note I don't know whats wrong with our society in general these days. Guys not too long ago, and many still do, wear their pants falling off their asses; you can go into the little girls section of department stores and see leopard and zebra print panties; the woman's section of many stores do not have stylish clothes forcing many women to try to fit into the juniors sizes. We go straight from juniors to misses in stores, my grandma shops in misses and I certainly do not want to be wearing the same clothes as my grandmother.
Wow, I'm in a rambling mood today hope my post makes sense.
