more stuff at HT

[WiltsAKGirl17]

Man, I wish I had access to a HT...

There's a girl in my Home Ec class with a really good shirt with Cheese on it. (I know, people who think Cheese is on WAAAAY too much stuff are right now, but bear with me...) She wore it today and I asked her, "Did you get at Hot Topic?" and she did. I asked if it came in a 2X (my size. Yes, I'm heavy.), but she wasn't sure.

That's part of my problem-- it's so hard to find cool stuff at places like HT that come in my size. (And don't even get me started on Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle. But that's another story.) I'm pretty sure that HT has plus sizes-- I'd have to check the site again-- so maybe there's hope yet!

On a more positive note, I think I once saw a Wilt T-shirt. That made me smile. X)

Sorry for the pretty-much-instantaneous edit, but I just checked the HT site-- the Wilt shirt I mentioned above (^) comes in a 2X! YES! XD

Hot Topic does have clothing in plus sizes, they have the Wilt shirt in 2X, as well as the group shirt which features Wilt in a 1X, but it's a guys shirt, so they run big anyways =)

Also, don't feel bad having no access to Hot Topic, in January I'm moving, so the closest one is over two hours from me, and I probably won't even have online access anymore =P

I can't even wear the 2X babydoll shirts; I'm not big on top, its just my hips. So, you know, the shirts roll up to my waist and that looks awful. So I buy the shirts I really like and then alter them. Needless to say I prefer the men's shirts...

There's a lady on eBay who makes various creations (like dresses and pullovers) by buying the HT babydoll tees and cutting them up and sewing them with other fabrics. Lol, they're still too small for me though.

Er, I dunno, just do a search for "Fosters home" on ebay every once in a while and see if she has anything up. I don't know her name, and she doesn't always have something posted. I've just seen her post a few items in the past several months.

I think you guys mean Sp00kyP00ky she does alot of DIY hoodies of cool stuff including Fosters. I have her on my fav sellers list but I've never won anything from her, her auctions go quite high x.x

OK, I'm back with an update on my quest for the Wilt shirt. Just in case anyone out there cares... <shrugs>

I hit a HT while I was in Anchorage at the start of January, and-- hot dang!-- they had the Wilt shirt. I dig through the stack and find the 2X. I go back into the dressing room to try it on and unfold it; when I see it unfolded (complete with "Wilt" and the number 1 on the back-- I didn't know that was there), I think, There's no way in [heck] this is a 2X. I decide to try my luck anyway, and holy crap. It was white, tight, rather see through and like I was trying to squeeze my 2X body into a large or medium shirt.

I, alas, had to pass on the shirt and content myself with a notebook with the whole bunch on the cover and a Bloo and Cheese key chain that I've yet to put on anything. Can't say I didn't try for my shirt, though.

Well its a 2X babydoll, not like, a "regular" 2X. I'm normally a L/1X (on top, and a 2X on the bottom), but I can't wear a 2X babydoll. That's why I alter the ones I just have to have.

And, I have to confess a moment of stupidity on my part. I had thought the HT in my local mall was gone. Well, its not. Now, either they had been repainting or something, because the facade had been all covered in tarps and stuff or...I was simply looking at another, empty store (there is such a tarped-up store near one end of the mall, I saw it today). I think I just saw the empty one and thought that was it. I mean, I did look to see if it had moved and didn't see it...oh well, I dunno. But the good news is they're still there.

The bad news is that they don't have anything new or exciting. I went ahead and picked up the Foster's hair elastics, as my hair is finally long enough to tie up again.
