It was launched to fuel debate regarding “unrealistic social media body image portrayals.”
A website that poses as a fake online jewelry retailer is working to fight against a controversial social media phenomenon known as the “thigh gap,” or the space between the thighs that’s being praised as a look that women should strive to achieve, as The Inquisitr explains.
TGap Jewellery, at first glance, appears to be selling jewelry that’s designed to be worn in and around the thigh gap. But on the “About” page, there’s a link to another page that reveals the website’s actual intent of catalyzing a debate on “unrealistic social media body image portrayals.” It also contains educational information aimed at discouraging women from engaging in unhealthy dieting to achieve the look.
Angela Guarda, director of the Johns Hopkins eating disorders program, is quoted on the website, saying: “The bone structure defines whether you can have a thigh gap: the shape of the pelvic girdle and distance between the hipbones.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success
After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone.
Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently.
The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
