By Jay • May 23rd, 2008 • Category: Featured, Rants and Raves, Style Tips

I have always hated the word skinny. I don’t know if it is the sound of the word itself, or perhaps the way people say it — often with a curious disdain, mixed with a somewhat envious tone. You’re so skinny! Oh my god! Hey skinny man! Skinny boy, come here! How do you stay […]
