  • Summary

  • Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by Forever21. In this episode, Cat takes you through some of the tomfoolery that is the women's clothing industry. We talk about the racism, classism, and fatphobia that are so integral to the industry, and biiiiiiiiiii you KNOW we talk about sizing and how jacked up that is. This episode is an ode to you and those jeans that you agonized over ordering only for them to not fit even a little bit.
