Target, Santa Monica/La Brea, Hollywood
I don't even know where to begin. Normally Gross Stuff takes the form of rotting food, half-digested food, fully digested and processed out the butt food, and/or things that were once on someone's body but have been discarded and are filthy. But I had to photograph this shit. Old Navy has a decent maternity section. The clothes look like their other unethically made but reasonably priced items, and they fit well. What you see above is Target's entire selection of maternity shirts. Not only are they made out of some horrible material that would make any itchy maternity belly uncomfortable, but they are the ugliest fabric that has ever been seen on planet earth. Why make a pregnant woman, who already feels insecure about her ever-increasing body size, feel good, when you can just wrap her in a pillow case and stick her in the corner with a tub of margarine and some pork rinds?
I think the hip designers at Target just realized that pregnant women frequently roll around in food (mainly neopolitan ice cream) and they wanted to create some camouflaging fashions.
