Proof that I can occasionally be interesting
In lieu of my yet-to-be-ported LJ content - here is a new sample of the kind of thing I tend to post, when I do post.
Threadless.com sent me a customer satisfaction survey link today. Filling it out reminded me how, even though I really love a lot of their designs, I have had a lot of less-than-positive experiences with them.
(Including the time when I sent customer feedback requesting a wider range of sizes and they sent back that "most of our customers seem happy with the variety we provide" - which is just, like, of course, because anyone over a size 10 (this was before they offered 2XL* girly tees) CANNOT BUY ANYTHING THAT FITS HERE.)(Developed-world problems indeed. Just venting here.)
Then I got to thinking, how I had some really positive experiences at another t-shirt site - Amorphia Apparel. So I thought I'd document things I like about Amorphia, rather than keep frustrating myself with other sites (Threadless is not alone) that don't really want me wearing their stuff anyway.
First of all, this:
Note that Amorphia does allow you to choose American Apparel, they just provide actual other options.
Whereas on Threadless, the options are...
...not so much options at all.
*Srsly. 2XL is what American Apparel calls it. And I admit, I am totally not small - or even medium. I wear a large/12-14 top in normal sizing systems. XL if I want room. There is something kinda wrong when SO MANY sites accept this range of sizes as actually normal for adult women. (I'm not surprised American Apparel does it - their aesthetic is (for many reasons) deeply off-putting. The torso widths in their guys sizes are kinda wack, too.)
Second, this: (Note the link text below each pic)
![Shirt that objectifies one gender has the option to select -I would prefer this design to objectify [other gender]](https://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/4562205090_264747185f.jpg)
See also, The whole Science! series, where almost every design can be customized with either a female or male scientist, and default views include both.
In conclusion,
I do wish some of the default Eves were not white. But you can make her many other colors in the customizer, and I have!
