Supersizing of America & a rant

[blackhillsbiker]

"Large and Extra Large just mean big around" trap, so soon I'll be looking for a new favorite shirt maker.

I'm 5'8.5" and 125 lbs. No boobs. No butt. My daughters got all the curves. I can't even find jeans anymore. Lucky and Silver used to fit, but now they gap by about 2" at the back waist. I have a long torso and long arms. By the time I find something long enough, they assume I'm also big around. I hate skin-tight teeny-bopper shirts, but women's clothes are always too short, or they become shorter and wider with every laundering. Sigh. I hate shapeless guy's shirts – sometimes the only way I can find tees that are long enough.

I used to be a 10. Then an 8. Then a 6. Now a 4. I haven't changed weight in years.

Other pet peeve, while clothes go one way, shoes go another. When you wear a 10.5 or 11, and they run "1/2 to 1 size short, please order the next size up," AND they only go to a size 11 (if you're lucky)... It's almost impossible to find cute shoes.
