“We’d like retailers to realize that their customer base is women,” Ossorio told me. “It’s like, who do they think they are? Making women feel less sexy and less beautiful than we are. Why do they think they have the right to do that? And it’s so unfortunate. Look at how it impacts the entire world, and how we feel about ourselves.” via Jezebel.com
