i have an idea...and i think its a winner too

Listen to this: in the light of all the recently surfacing bad self images, I have an idea. I work with mostly girls. They talk about clothes all the time. They talk about being skinny and dieting and stuff all the time. They talk about clothes sizes. So here's where the idea comes in. What if there were a chain of stores that had clothes without size labels? None at all. You go in, you get fitted, and they keep your size secret, even from you? No comparisons either. And the sizing system would be totally weird and proprietary, so nobody could figure it out without knowing how the computalators work. Now if girls chose to shop there, and no longer shopped at other stores with sizes, then eventually what size they used to buy would become irrelevant. No more comparing. No more "I wanna go down 2 sizes by [insert time period]". If we could convince like all the girls in a given youth group to go to that one store, then nobody could compare anything. Wouldn't that be cool?
