Tryed to get in there Saturday but the sheer mass of teenie....no not even teens but 6-9 years olds prevented me from getting in (Yes they were easy to toss aside but like diging in quicksand they were replaced faster then i could through them). Anyway any of you people that work there are there any good times we over 60 could come by????

I'd recommend NOT coming by on the weekends or after 3ish when skool lets out...
I work weekdays from around 10-2 or 3 and it's never full of kidlets...

Because our High Schools are filled with anorexic teens there are clothes that go down to a size 1.. which is a decent size for an 8 or 9 year old. Granted they can't buy the pants because they are too long.. but the extra small shirts.. hell in the womens side even an xl would fit a 9 year old tightly. So no, we carry anorexic girl clothes, but the 9 year olds wear them. Sunday's are kinda slow if you want to take a peek.

You just need to dress in the mode of GOTH GODHOOD!!!
Then they will part like the red sea.
Alternatively, you cand dress up like a PUNK KLINGON and then the store will pay you to toss the chillins aside. Toughen them up doncha know.

Uh...WHAT?
Our sizes are the same as other places I've shopped. I was actually surprised that we had larger sizes like 2X, belts up to 40in, etc.
I've gotten a dress that was an XL (and I don't believe I'm build like a 9 year old) and a vinyl jacket that was a medium and they fit me exactly the way I expected them to...*shrug*
I don't think it's nice to say that people that can wear size 1's are anorexic. I know a few girls that wear teeny tiny sizes, eat like horses, and
wish they could gain weight. Nor do I think it is very good for business to make it sound like all we carry is tiny stuff, like say, the body shop. Now that I think of it, I don't think I've seen any customers that looked sickeningly skinny (teeth-scraped knuckles are a tell-tale sign

), even when I've been in on the weekends.
It was probably full of young kids because we sell stuff that appeals to young kids, like care bears, gremlins, invader zim, ninja turtles, and other things they find amusing, etc.

Break free of the clothing departments paradigm!!!!!! i am by no means tiny, but i can find stuff at Hot Topic. Hell, i bought a pair of shorts in the little girls department in Penney's a couple weeks ago. i can also find stuff that fits in plus size stores and in the men's dept. Stuff can be found for just about anyone to wear at any store. Break free of the brain-washing that you have to be a certain size, age, or gender to shop at certain places.
Eek. i think my JAP side just met up with my rebel side and produced something scary on that post.

Im too inept to make stuff, hehe Im lucky breathing is atomatic (oh wait i screwed that up once too). So I must use the stores (or are they using me), Unfortunatly I tnd to stick to targets and walmart (that should be a new type of goth a "Walmart Goth"). I was hoping to find something different in the hot topic (anyone rember when they use to just do cool shirts with skulls and stuff and it had nothing to do with a band or anything, it was just a nice T)
