I want to raise the awareness of the ridiculous size of the "thinspirational" size of the mannequins in the Ark stores. I have sent a letter of complaint to the store and want to make an impact as the size of these mannequins is offending and frankly an emotional health risk. To them a size 14 is a size large with which i find frankly disgusting. Please sign this petition to help raise the awareness of mannequins of such a size to be removed from the stores.
I was walking past the shop window yesterday and it really hit me how distorted those plastic shapes actually look compared to actual human bodies walking down the street. It is honestly so draining to think about any person seeing that and feeling like they have to change themselves just because of some mass produced store display. I am still waiting to hear back from the corporate office but I have been sending out emails every single day because I refuse to just let them ignore this.

It makes me feel awful looking at them. Totally unnecessary.

Ridiculous. Young girls see that and think they have to look like a skeleton to be pretty. Ark needs to get real.

Why do they even make them that thin? Nobody actually looks like that. It is so unhealthy.
