Hooters

If I worked here, I would have low self-esteem. A co worker of mine said she had to hula hoop during her job interview; I guess just to get a good look at her body.
She says all the other waitresses are superskinny, but coming from her it was funny, because SHE is super skinny.



But she said when she's there, she feels fat. For a while she was the only black girl there. And they wouldnt let her work when people from the corporate office came because they said she was too fat. In addition, she applied for the little beauty pageant they have, and she's like, "I think they just threw my picture in the trash. I was in a bikini in the snow for nothing!"

She's a very pretty girl. Hands down. Skinny with big boobs, but in the world of white women, she's fat. And therefore unattractive. With that sad statement in mind, I know someone with a figure like mine (i.e. with curves) would have a snowball's chance in hell of getting hired. And that's y I say if I worked there, my self esteem-o-meter would be at zero.

The restaurant she works at is in the suburbs. So, she's fat out there, but back in Detroit, she's reminded that she's skinny. It's so confusing - on the one hand, they tell us they want video models (black and Latino) with their unnatural curves and huge behinds. BUT on the other hand, they want white women, who freak out at the thought of having an ass and work out like it's part of their job description! So it's like, who do you want me to be? The standard of beauty seems to be changing, but really not so much. The black beauty is still jump off status or just plain unedsired, while white beauty is still wifey/worshipped.
