A few weeks ago I showed you the banner ads about sex offenders that had begun showing up on a Twilight site. Then last week I introduced you to the entertaining train wreck that is MLIT — “My Life Is Twilight.” Well guess who’s advertising on MLIT. According to today’s banner ads, it’s Hot Topic (natch) and an online retailer called Torrid. What do they sell, you ask?
The Destination for Trendy plus-size Fashion
Before Torrid launched in 2001, there weren’t many shopping options for the fashionable plus-sized girl. Sure, she could look pretty fierce in men’s jeans and tees, but, from lingerie to dresses, there weren’t many options for feminine plus-size clothes for young women and teens.Torrid recognized this and created a women’s plus-size fashion line inspired by fashion icons, runway shows, music and pop culture. We also fit our line on a plus-size model so our customers could get fabulous fashion in sizes 12-28. Now, with styles from hot labels like Betsey Johnson and Jezebel added to the mix, Torrid is the destination for trendy plus-size fashion. And with plus-size jeans from Ed Hardy and more, Torrid girls can ditch those men’s jeans for good! [Torrid/AboutUs]
That’s right, goth clothes and plus-sized Ed Hardy jeans. Thanks, Twilight fans, I don’t even have to make this stuff up. I wish I was a stupid lamb. I would put myself in a sandwich and then eat me and then cut myself when I couldn’t fit into a size 28.

Nice pants lunchbox, too bad the fisrt time she bend over in them she toreit.
You can’t be Twi-lite to fit in *these* clothes.
Why diet when designers continue to make bigger clothes?
I think I need to take my last comment to the vet and have it put down.
If I had a muumuu scribbled with douchey Ed hardy designs, I’d eat until I could fit in it.

Move over Goodwill.
“Are you Twi-ing too hard to get into your pants?”
actually I don’t think anyone is trying to get in their pants.
Torrid shoppers wash themselves with an Ed Hardy shirt on a stick.
Isaac Mizrahi is furiously working on a plus-size line for Twilight’s Target audience.
Pluus size, yawn, wake me when they go umlaut sized.
I’ve been looking for Ed Hardly-fitting-my-ass jeans.
Ed Hardy is gonna be pissed when he notices that you can’t see his pants’ decorations through all the cat hair.
OMG! Torrid makes a plus-size fashion line! They only go up to size 28, though, so I’ll need to drop a few. MLIT.
Somebody should tell them that torrid and fetid are not synonyms.
Somebody should tell them that torrid is not the proper past-tense of what matadors yell at them.
I’ve always said that if there’s one thing fat chicks need it’s a pair of jeans featuring a bedazzled tiger whose ferocious jaws will no doubt been stretched into a sad frown, causing the rhinestones to fire off at random, blinding who knows how many house cats. Yeah, that will get you laid.
Somebody should tell them they’re fat.
Survivorman turned a pair of Torrid pants into a survival shelter.
Seriously? I came back in to work sick for this?
Plus size shirts at Torrid are just black snuggies with an Anarchy symbol patch on it.
If I owned Torrid, I would set an ice cream shop and fudge stand on each side of every Victoria’s Secret.
Their next line of Twilight clothes will be under the name Oliver Hardy.
I hate myself a little for bothering to post this…but you guys do realize its the same corporation, right? Torrid is a division of Hot Topic.
Thats all, please continue hating on Twilight with the same fervor and dedication you have thus far shown, as no amount of hate will EVER be sufficient for that horrible POS book/movie/crapnomenon.
Old up!

I did not know that, but goddamn if it doesn’t make sense. This is like the day I found out that Disney owns ESPN, except there’s a lot less of Stuart Scott eye-fucking Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck at the same time.
