The Pink Palace is home to a sea of '60s shifts, preppy prints, the Lilly Pulitzer clothing company and apparently, a couple of fat-shaming cartoons.
Last week, New York Magazine did a photo series on what's going on inside Lilly HQ, following a particularly successful month for the brand because of its sold-out Target collaboration. Sandwiched in between an employee headshot and a pic of a macaroon-laden table were two illustrations: one bearing the words, "Just another day of fat, white, and hideous...You should probably just kill yourself..." and another that read, "Put it down carb face."

Though Lilly Pulitzer is granting no interviews, Vice President of Creative Communications Jane Schoenborn released this statement: "These illustrations were the work of one individual and were posted in her personal work area. While we are an employer that does encourage people to decorate their own space, we are a female-dominated company and these images do not reflect our values. We apologize for any harm this may have caused."
Meanwhile, take heart in knowing that efforts are being made to fight the good fight against fat shaming.
Retired reality star and current lifestyle blogger Lauren Conrad wrote a blog post Monday announcing the banning of body-shaming words like "skinny," "thin" and "slim" on her eponymous site. And let's not forget a few weeks back when Dancing Man was fat shamed, only to have Dance Free Movement organize a gigantic dance party in his honor that also raised money for anti-bullying charities. Now, a petition on Change.org is even calling for the inclusion of "physical appearance" as an official category protected against hate speech and bullying in Facebook's community guidelines.

I LOVE the concept of getting to express my artistic ways and who I am on my own body - key emphasis on my own. Why do so many adults look at tattoos so harshly?
Falling in love with someone who doesn't love themselves is easy. We like to feel needed. More importantly, we like to feel like we could be the missing piece of the puzzle for someone. We delight in the possibility that we could be the cure to whatever ails this person.

She went on to call the comparisons "misogynistic," adding, "This is a common theme. I think Reese and Jessica and I-I don't know Blake Lively, and I don't know if Jessica and Reese know each other-I'm friends with both of them and I speak to both of them and I want to do everything I can to support their businesses. I'm not articulating it well, because I haven't completely worked out what it is, but I feel very proud when Jessica was on the cover of Forbes. I think that's amazing. You can quantitatively say, 'Look what she's done, she's been able to conceive of a business and scale it to that size, in that amount of time.' But we have such different businesses."
