Hi there.

As I’m sure you’re aware, there’s been plenty of media attention focused on weight and obesity issues in the world. Hell, I used to be a chunky monkey myself (key words: “used to be”, so I know how tough it is to be a fat girl in a skinny girls’ world. It’s hard; you can’t wear the fashions you want, clothes just aren’t tailored in the right way, and you enviously (and maybe, to some extent, salaciously) eye every size 0 that walks by and think, “That. Bitch. Wish I was her.”

And then there are those out there who are proud to be fat. That’s right, I said it. FAT. It’s an F word fat girls love to hear. They’re fat, beautiful, sexy and DAMN PROUD OF IT.

I applaud a lot of those women. They sure are brave, and I never could be one of them.

However, I recoil in horror whenever it’s taken way too over the top.

…especially when it’s taken way over the control top underwear this girl should be wearing underneath her costume.

Holy spandex, Batman. I’m not an anime and/or otaku dork, but I do know my Final Fantasy characters and dear Lord, this is the saddest excuse for a Garnet costume I think I ever could have imagined. (I’m guessing it is Garnet, I could be mistaken) And, as I’m sure most people who are reading and looking at this know, this isn’t even the whole costume; the sleeves and pantlegs are missing.

Now, I’m sure she could have fueled India’s textile industry for another year with those additions, but nah. So a few thousand workers didn’t get paid. Kids starved to death over the money that wasn’t made in making this costume. But whatever; to each his own.

Instead, she took the $20 that was in her wallet (which of course, has a moogle bedazzled on it), and went to Kmart to buy an orange bathing suit that was mistakingly marked for her size (when really, it was supposed to be marked “Medium”. It wasn’t until 31 days later (1 day after the usual return policy expired) that she noticed, “Oh, dammit, I can’t return this NOW…”

…”Might as well make the best of it, I guess. HEY MA, WHERE’S MY BRA??? And my Bedazzler(TM)? I got work to do!”

What bothers me the most isn’t that she’s too big for the costume in question, or that she’s almost violating the laws of morality by exposing most of her bra, but that it really, REALLY, does NOT leave anything to the imagination. (Yes, I’m serious — Whoever coined the phrase “camel toe” never prophesized this).

The game, after all, is called Final Fantasy…if I died 5 minutes after writing this, I will be forever pissed that this is the last thing I saw.

This isn’t MY final fantasy! UH-UH, NO WAY.
