Anorexia means fat profits for the fashion world.

The fashion industry claims to be against eating disorders but with the crap they come out with, a weak confused shopper is definitely their best customer.

When paparazzi catch white celebrities in illegal activities the stories and glossy color photos end up in Star and People. You rarely see black people in those magazines because we have our own paparazzi; the police. They rarely use film when they shoot.

Boarding school was a culture shock for me. The only black people I saw were wearing a name tag or cleaning a toilet. When I went home my mom was like, “Do I look like a maid to you?” And I was like, “Yeah, Carolyn, now pick up that J. Crew turtleneck.”

Rich people are too lazy to break in their own clothing.

At Barney’s I saw a pair of $300 designer jeans so frayed and threadbare that they looked as if they had been returned after someone wore them 2 or 300 times. I bet they paid a sweatshop worker an extra penny to wear them for a few days around the village to get that worn in look.

“Look, this one has a bullet hole in it. How authentic. Is that blood? I’ll take it.”

I wonder if my jeans look more expensive because they are falling apart at the seams.

I am from a small town in southern Maryland. Not much has changed in my town since slavery, except now my family is like totally unemployed.
