Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned..
I posted this photo, 6 December 2011, of what I was wearing that day.
[What I was wearing: retro Abercrombie wool track jacket, white lace shorts, navy scrunchy socks. Michael Kors blue tunic, and white Hollister skirt.]
I got a general positive response to it, and figured I'd do it again, when I wore something to merit another photo. I forgot.
Around the day I took this photo, I was told by a manager at Abercrombie & Fitch, that I didn't have the look, and was simply too old to be a model for them, even though I had originally filled out the paperwork to be a candidate for their new 'diversity' campaign. I thought I was diverse enough. Maybe not.
Incidentally, I'm wearing mostly Abercrombie brand clothing in the above picture. :(
Despite the negative interactions with the company, I'm not angry enough to stop wearing the clothes. Ruehl No.925 (RIP), Abercrombie, and Hollister happen to carry 'casual luxury' clothing of decent quality that fit me very well. IE, I own a lot of their clothes.
SO, to get to the point of this long rant - I will try to post a weekly picture of me wearing Abercrombie & Rich brand threads, JUST TO SCORN THE COMPANY THAT THOUGHT I DIDN'T LOOK GOOD ENOUGH IN THEIR CLOTHES.
I CAN BE A MODEL, DAMMIT.
