Dainty Hooligan’s CEO stands by controversial email Issler claiming that the stores’ Instagram needed to be cleaned up, Ryan said. “I’m not in charge of social media, so I notified the other employees that corporate changes were happening,” Ryan said. After the notification, multiple pictures of her were deleted off the page, followed by an email from Issler, Zarrabi said . “I had no idea what to expect,” Zarrabi said. “We never posted anything bad, so I had no idea what the owner planned on cleaning up.” In the email, Issler said she wanted a “size small,” and a “stereotypical model” type to don the boutiques clothes. She also said if that was not possible for the store to have that type of model, then they needed to use the model pictures from the main website, according to the email. “I don’t want to be associated with a place like that,” Zarrabi said. “I have a little sister that’s only 9, and she’s already started developing body issues from mean kids at school. I want her to see me be positive throughout all of this.” Despite the feedback Dainty Hooligan has received after Zarrabi posted the email on social media, Issler said she stands by her original message.

The owner of a Stillwater boutique is being criticized for an email she sent to the store’s manager about an employee. Sherene Zarrabi, a marketing senior, quit her job at the Dainty Hooligan on Monday after having pictures of her in the stores’ clothing deleted off the store’s Instagram page. “We never had really any guidelines or rules that said what we should be posting on Instagram,” Zarrabi said. “The most recent picture I posted was a few weeks ago, but the earliest pictures were posted during football season, so the email came out of nowhere.” The Dainty Hooligan is a fashion boutique with five locations across Texas and Oklahoma. Pamela Ryan, the Dainty Hooligan’s Stillwater manager, confirmed she got a text message and an email from owner Jessica

“I am accountable for the email that was sent,” Issler said in a phone interview with the O’Colly. “I never meant to be mean or attacking, but I’m not apologizing for the unsaid fashion rule.” Issler said Zarrabi’s pictures weren’t the only pictures removed from the site. “We deleted about 50 pictures, and only two or three of them were of Zarrabi,” Issler said. “I’ve never even met her. She should have just asked the true meaning of the email.” Zarrabi’s Facebook post has been shared more than 2,000 times. She’s also received support from local residents on social media. But Issler said she disagrees with the reaction to Zarrabi’s post. “My No. 1 priority is the safety of my staff, so the evil and lack of positivity is terrifying,” Issler said. “This girl has now created a hostile work environment because she has a sad body image of herself.” Zarrabi said she means no harm toward the company. “I’m not trying to hurt their business,” Zarrabi said. “I just want awareness and acceptance that not everyone can be so called ‘model material.’” Dainty Hooligan should see no dip in average profits, Issler said.

“I think the typical standard customer knows what we’re about and knows this topic is irrelevant,” Issler said. “I meant absolutely no hate towards her. “She’s not mentally healthy.” Zarrabi said she sees nothing wrong with the way she handled the situation. “I am proud of myself for quitting,” Zarrabi said. “What I really

want is for young girls, like my sister, to know that you don’t have to be a certain size to be beautiful. “I wouldn’t have posted the pictures if I wasn’t confident in myself. Her comments just prove that she’ll say anything to make herself look better.” f o l l o w o c o l ly : @ o c o l ly

@zariavick

@OKStateProbs @_DaintyHooligan @OColly this is capitalism. Her marketing isn’t for what she likes/believes but what her consumers buy.

@SherenexMarie you’re beautiful girlfriend. End of story. Proud of you & disgusted by them.

@MorganT_ThatsMe

@donjohndamarko Ladies, wouldn’t shop at @_DaintyHooligan if I were you. The unrealistic pressure on women these days is disgusting.

@OKStateProbs

We should demand better from people. Ladies, love yourself!

I think a size medium model, or even a size large *gasp*, would hurt your brand less than this email. Shameful.

EDITORIAL: Dainty Hooligan situation offers students learning experience fro m O’C ol ly Edi to r ia l Board @ oc ol ly

If one domino falls, it causes more dominoes to fall. The domino effect translates in the business world. If a corporation makes a bad business move, it can cause more bad business moves down the line. 300_250 This is what occurred at Dainty Hooligan. For Oklahoma State students who will enter the business world in their future careers, what was reported on at Dainty Hooligan is a

lesson in bad business. What started the domino effect at Dainty Hooligan was one email from the CEO to the manager of a Stillwater franchise. Lesson No. 1: Do not send a message via email that could be misinterpreted or is intended as private. Email is nearly as unprotected as speaking in a public forum. People, other than the person to whom the email was sent, can gain access to the email. It can be forwarded, replied to with the original message, hacked, printed or shared on social media.

After the email was sent, an employee gained access to the email. Lesson No. 2: Work messages intended to be private should be kept private. Companies may need to implement a policy of confidentiality among management. In this scenario, a link was broken in the connection between corporate management and local franchise management. After the employee viewed the email, the employee posted a picture of the email to her social media account. Lesson No. 3: Social media

exposes large audiences to information. This means social media posts can have large effects — in some cases going viral. Many people saw and shared the information. The Dainty Hooligan CEO, Stillwater franchise manager and the employee were all interviewed and asked to comment on what took place. Lesson no. 4: When speaking on the record on behalf of a company or yourself, only say words that will accurately and positively reflect the ideology of the company or

yourself. Aside from bad business, this occurrence brings two issues to the social forefront: personal body image and the way it’s influenced by the fashion industry. If the fashion industry continues to place importance on body image, featuring only certain body types, people will continue to place importance on matching their body type to the type the industry portray.

Notes from the O’Colly crime desk BY Stetso n Payn e N e ws Editor

Burgarlies on the rise in Stillwater

Stillwater has seen a wave of burglaries in 2016 affecting private residences and businesses. The business burglaries were random in both where they took place and the type of businesses targeted, Stillwater Police Captain Kyle Gibbs said in a press release. The department is asking business owners to check security measures such as interior lighting and cameras. Several stores including Peck’s Lodge and Frontier Lanes reported burglaries. Peck’s Lodge reported a burglary on Jan. 30 and the theft of an iPad, money, a safe, camera

equipment, computer equipment and jewelry. The burglary resulted in more than $9,900 in losses, according to a police activity summary. Frontier Lanes reported an attempted burglary Jan. 31, with $1,000 in damages to a glass door and window. There was no property loss, according to a police activity summary. Two residential burglaries were also reported this week. Monday, a victim reported more than $1,300 in losses and the theft of a television, video game equipment and communication equipment at a house in the 900 block of West Eskridge Avenue, according to a police activity summary.

Tuesday, another victim reported more than $4,100 in losses and the theft of video game equipment, tools, camping equipment, home stereo equipment, guns and a guitar at a house in the 2400 block of West 8th Avenue, according to a police activity summary.

Stillwater police looking for larceny suspect

Stillwater police are searching for a suspect who reportedly stole more than $1,700 in medicine from Wal-Marts on North Perkins Road and West 6th Avenue. Just after 4:15 a.m. Sunday, a man walked into the Wal-Mart at 4545 W. 6th Ave. and appeared to begin shopping, according to a

media release. The man then reportedly put a clothes hamper in the shopping cart and headed for the pharmacy where he loaded the hamper with more than $750 in Nicorette and Equate brand smoking cessation medicines. He then pushed the cart near an exit and left the store with the clothes hamper, according to the media release. Less than an hour later, the same suspect entered the WalMart at 111 N. Perkins Road and followed the same routine, only this time loading more than $975 in Zantac, Nexium, Nicorette and Prilosec medicines into the hamper, according to the media release. The suspect then left the

store. Anyone with information on the larceny is asked to contact the criminal investigation division at the Stillwater Police Department at 405-372-4171 or leave a message on the department’s tip line at 405-742-8301. Follow stetson: @ s t e t s o n _ _ pay n e

An Open Letter To All Students As we embark on a new semester at OSU, we would like to remind students of our “Cowboy Standards”: integrity, community, social justice, respect and responsibility. Students at OSU are expected to uphold these standards. While off-campus house parties may seem fun, and are particularly attractive to underage students, these parties often result in police involvement. This is especially true when the party is large, loud, and disruptive to neighborhoods. The consequences can be significant for the hosts and party goers, as well as those who drive under the influence. Co Consequences may include: • Fines/charges o Social Host fine is $549 and a court appearance o Fine for transporting an open container is $549 and loss of license for 6 months • Potential criminal record • Greater likelihood of being a victim of sexual and physical violence • Driver’s license revocation • Increase cost of insurance • Negative employment consequences • Explanation to parents/guardians • Jeopardizing education • Difficulty getting a loan • May impact signing a lease or buying a home Please be safe, smart and know what is at stake if you choose to attend or host a house party.

Oklahoma State seeks road win streak at Tech n at h a n ruiz S e n i o r S p o rt s Rep o rt er

A list of goals carried Oklahoma State to its first road victory of the year. Wednesday, that same list could net the Cowboys one more. After earning its first road victory of the season, the Cowboy basketball team faces Texas Tech at 8 p.m. Wednesday at

United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas. Saturday, OSU defeated Auburn 74-63 in Auburn, Alabama. The Cowboys came together before the contest to create a list of what it would take to erase their 0-4 road record. The items on the list included readiness to play, focus and unity, forward Chris Olivier said. “Before the game, we talked as a team,” Olivier said. “You know, ‘What do we have to do to get a road win? What do we have to do to be successful on the road?’ I think that helped. Everybody was locked in. We really needed that one.” That winless record holds true in conference play, though. OSU is 2-2 at Gallagher-Iba

Arena in Big 12 play but suffered road losses to Baylor, West Virginia, Texas and Kansas State by an average of 13.75 points. OSU coach Travis Ford said the victory at Auburn won’t necessarily carry into the remainder of conference play for the Cowboys (11-10 overall, 2-6 Big 12), but it’s something OSU players can reflect on. “I’ve always said, history doesn’t mean anything unless you learn from it, good or bad,” Ford said. “It gives us something to refer back to. I talked to our team about, ‘Hey, you’ve proven you’ve done it. This is kind of your approach to that game, your mental attitude. OCOLLY.COM

Your aggressiveness in the game was on target.’ “To say automatically that’s going to equal something else, I hope it does.” The results on the court have yet to be seen, but the Cowboys are feeling more confident heading into their matchup with the Red Raiders (12-8, 2-6). That includes guard Jeffrey Carroll, who made a career-high four 3-pointers in the OSU’s 63-62 loss in Lubbock last season. “Winning, period, is always great, but winning on the road is always better,” Carroll said. “I think that gives us a huge boost in confidence.” That confidence will be key as the Cowboys brace for the

final 10 games of conference play. It certainly will be no easy task, with their final three road games against currently ranked teams in Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa State. Ford said those are simply the perils of the Big 12 for middling teams such as OSU and Texas Tech. “That’s the Big 12 for you,” Ford said. “Any other league, we’d be sitting here 5-3 maybe, and I’m talking about any other (Power Five) league. Texas Tech’s the same type team. That’s life in the Big 12 right now.” F o l l o w n at h a n : @ N at h a n S R u i z

Young Cowgirls preseason favorite in Big 12 BY Nick Lup in ac c i Sports R epo rter

They are the young and the talented. The Oklahoma State women’s golf team comes into the spring season as favorites in the Big 12, according to Golfweek. Composed of four sophomores, two freshmen and two juniors, the Cowgirls look to build off last year’s experience while bringing a youthful dynamic to the course this year. “We were in position and had opportunities to win last year, which is always what you want,” coach Courtney Jones said. “We just have to go out there and play our best each day, and hopefully, we might have a chance to be in position to win this year. “Taking it one shot at a time is going to be key for us.” Although the Cowgirls are young, they have one of the most talented rosters in the conference. They finished in the top six in all of their events during the fall. The highlight of the fall campaign was their first-place finish in the Schooner Fall Classic in Norman. The roster boasts three top-100 golfers: Chih-Min Chen (No.12), Linnea Johansson (No. 47) and Kenzie Neisen (No.74). The Cowgirls finished fifth in the Big 12 Championship last year, 17 shots behind the eventual champion, Baylor. Neisen won the individual title with a score of 212, defeating Baylor’s Laura Lonardi in a two-hole playoff. Johansson finished ninth in individual play, recording a final score of 219. All the hype this year is around Chen, a true freshman from Taipei, Taiwan. In the fall, she finished second in the Schooner Fall Classic after tallying a score of 9-under, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2016

behind Kansas’s Yupaporn Kawinpakorn, who finished at -11. Chen, a former champion of the Hong Kong Ladies Open and the TLPGA Royal Ladies Open, will be the No. 1 option for the women this spring. Chen, Neisen and Johansson all have a great chance to win the Big 12 individual crown. Neisen and Johansson have the upper hand over Chen in that they have experience in the moment, but Chen brings talent to the table and will be tough to compete with for three rounds. Kansas’ Kawinpakorn and Gabby Barker of Texas Tech, who is No. 9 in the country, will be the biggest challengers to the Cowgirls’ hopes of bringing home a ninth Big 12 individual crown. As a team, the Cowgirls’ toughest challengers in conference play will be Iowa State, Texas Tech and Texas. Iowa State is similar to the Cowgirls in that they have a young roster full of potential. The Cyclones have four players in the top 205, including two freshmen and a sophomore. The young Cowgirls will be tough to beat in Big 12 play, boasting some of the best individual players as well as the deepest roster in the conference. The Cowgirls open their spring season Feb. 7 when they travel to Palos Verdes, California, to compete in the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge. Follow Nick: @LupinacciNick

CowgirlS hunt first Win in Norman in 18 years

The bus ride home will be rowdy if they can pull it off. The Cowgirls haven’t won in Norman since Feb. 7, 1998. Oklahoma State is riding a four-game win streak, which started when they thwarted Oklahoma 73-42 in Gallagher-Iba Arena. Center Kaylee Jensen let out a long sigh after thinking about ending that

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2016

18-year streak at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Norman. “It would mean the world to us,” Jensen said. “If we win this game, it’s going to be huge. The bus ride home is gonna be lit.” It’s going to start on the defensive side of the court for the No. 25 Cowgirls. Statistically, OSU is the best defensive team in the Big 12. The Cowgirls lead the conference in points allowed, opponents’ field goal percentage, 3-point percentage and turnover margin. The defense is one of the main reasons why the Cowgirls have cracked the AP Top 25 and are third in the conference standings. “I always say in practice ‘Defense wins games,’” point guard Roddricka Patton said. “I feel like if our defense is working for us, our offense is going to be working,

and if we play really, really hard defense, we’ll win.” OSU has scored 32.2 percent of its points off 19.3 turnovers per game over the past four contests, including when the Cowgirls forced 26 giveaways against the Sooners (15-5 overall, 6-3 Big 12). Defense has been turning into offense, and the offense has been growing more versatile. Early this season, OSU (16-4, 6-3) struggled to find scoring outside of Jensen and guard Brittney Martin. However, during this win streak, the battalion has arrived. Against TCU, six Cowgirls totaled at least eight points. The shooting guard spot still hasn’t been locked down, but it doesn’t seem to matter. Sydney Walton and Karli Wheeler each offer skills necessary to OSU’s play style, and both are scoring buckets. They’re jelling. They’re catching stride. However it’s said, the

Cowgirls are coming into the best opportunity they’ve had at winning in Norman since coach Jim Littell arrived in Stillwater in 2005, Littell said. “I believe our kids are going in with a mindset that we believe we can win; we expect to win,” Littell said. “We know it’s going to be a huge challenge against a good basketball team, but that’s this group’s mentality.” F o l l o w H ay d e n : @HK_Barber
