So I was out shopping today when I passed an Aerie store. My cousin pointed out that the butt in the photo huge advertisement (second photo) had stretch marks. I was confused. After second look I realized that there were stretch marks. âWow!â I thought, âI canât believe they didnât airbrush that out!â I wanted to take a picture but there were people sitting on a bench in view of it, so I decided to to go in and find the picture. Much to my surprise, she was not the only one displaying imperfections! Their slogan is âThe real you is sexy.â In amazement I took pictures throughout the store. Iâm sure they thought I was a creep but that didnât stop me. I had to pass this along to those who havenât seen it. My question is, how isnât this a bigger deal? Am I weird for thinking this is so awesome? I even made a point to say âWow, I have to take a picture of this, that could be me!â A sales associates just chuckled. But little did she know I was so serious.
