Taking Offense

As some of you may know, I work at Target. For those who initially think "Oh that must suck," fear not. Its really not all that bad, in fact there are all sorts of awesome perks. One thing that I have always enjoyed has been the fact that for some reason there seems to be (to me at least) an above average amount of good looking men that shop at Target. Call me shallow, but it makes me smile to think this only got better when I transferred to Casper.

Well, a couple weeks ago at work there was a guest sitting in Food Ave and let me tell you what he was lookin' good. Seriously. A while later I see him walking through the store, and the sight of this individual literally and genuinely offended me.


The backside of this guy was the skinny jeans version of the middle dummy. His pants had to be riding below his butt cheeks, I'm not even kidding. He was wearing a sweater way too big for him thank goodness. At least the public was spared a view of his chones. 

Here's my issue with severe sag in a more straightforward manner. If you find someone attractive you may take a moment to visually assess them, right? If their pants aren't being worn properly then you can't fully assess an important physical quality. I am offended by that. Think about how men would react if women started wearing loose fitting underwear and saggy jeans. I can't imagine it would go over so well. Guys, pull your pants up. It'll be easier to take you all more seriously and if a lady (or anybody really) feels it necessary, they can check you out without laughing or being offended. Saggy pants are not attractive.

Self Expressions

Lately at the good ole' Target store I've been working shifts in the fitting room. My job here consists of re-hanging all the clothes people try on and answering the phone. On Friday, upon returning from break, I noticed a ridiculous number of bras sitting on the desk in the fitting room. As I begun hanging these bras I noticed the descriptive tag hanging from the side.

As many of the bras we carry this one was a "push-up" bra. This was no ordinary push-up bra tho, oh no. This one was special. This one, as stated by the ever so informative tag, increased your cup-size by two! If you are an A it transforms you to a C so on and so forth. I noticed this about the same time I noticed the obscene amount of padding in these over-shoulder-boulder-holders.

Is this what women in America are striving to achieve? A bigger bust line for less than $12.99? In all honesty I was disgusted by this idea. Is that really all that women believe they have going for them, their Ta-tas?

Personally I find this to be ridiculously shallow. You don't have enough self-esteem or self-confidence, but somehow making your boobs appear bigger will fix that. Sorry, but that's not how it works. At the end of the day your chest will remain the same and that bra, well its just that, a bra. Don't get me wrong I have been known to wear such a thing as a push-up bra, but between you and me, there's not much to push-up. I just like how they fit. But they do not make my chest twice the size it normally is, I do not rely on my "assets" to get me the guy, the job, a drink at the bar, whatever you people use them for. I rely on my personality and wit to get all of that for me.

The ironic part is that the brand that was pasted all over this bra was "Self-Expressions." So by making one's mellons larger.....that is self expression? Wouldn't that mean that taking Viagra is the same for a man?

I'm not really sure where I'm going will all of this, but I do know that I wish the women of our society felt more secure about themselves and their appearance the way it is. There really are some gorgeous ladies out there, they just don't believe it.

The Manhawk

It's a bird! It's a plane! No...it's a manhawk. Some of you may be thinking, "Tessa, that could be a bird, but is more likely a jet fighter plane." Sorry to disappoint, but it's neither.


The manhawk is a haircut I've noticed an increasing number of men sporting. The part that gets me is most of the manhawks appear to be near or in their thirties. Are these wide spread mohawk wearing versions of Benjamin Button or just douchebag pioneers?

I can't take these haircut faux pas seriously. Now, I'm not prejudice against all mohawks. I only discriminate against the ones who strive to be taken seriously in any way, shape, or form. Look at this guy, he's thinking very hard.....with a mohawk ? I don't think so. Just give it up and shave it off, sir.
