Post # 13

I know it’s been a while and I apologize. Much has occurred since the last time I wrote and I promise I will update just as soon as my exam for school is over….however I would like to comment on something…

Why is it that every time I go to a clothing store, I go to the change room with about 20 – 30 items and come out with nothing? I absolutely hate that. I went tonight to three different clothing stores and at each one I came out with nothing. It is really annoying actually.

Furthermore, because I have to go to the “PLUS” section the choice of style(s) looks like something that women with no fashion sense would wear. I mean pastel colours of ALL shades and ugly designs with flowers on everything really does not scream out “stylish” or “young and hip.” I see more and more young women going into these stores and yet the clothes are for aged women….things need to change.

The main purpose for my evening venture tonight was to find a skirt for my birthday outing tomorrow night. Not to my entire surprise, but I could not find a skirt that was above my knee. All the ones I tried on were either just below the knee or they hit the floor. Why should this be difficult? When I asked, the sales ladies could not show me a skirt length I was looking for. This is pathetic and of course if I went to a ‘regular’ or ‘petite’ store there would be tons of skirts the length that I want. But do you think I would fit into them? Hell No!

I don’t understand the thought process of the designers for ‘Plus’ women’s clothing….majority of the clothes are ‘older’ looking and with younger generations turning towards ‘Plus’ size clothing you would think that the designers would want to market to this population and thus make the clothing more appealing. However, in their defense I must say it has got a lot better. I only pray that they continue. Please stay away from pastel!!

Looking at the very curvy, very voluptuous, no bulge mannequins, I always leave stores feeling very jealous and very frustrated that a plastic doll can look better in the clothing than me. Go Figure!

So here’s to the ‘Plus’ size women of the world!!!

Until next time,

This was a post that I found off of Plenty of Fish and I think it is absolutely hilarious…

Whats your Sign?

ARIES (March 20-April 21): You are the pioneer type and think most people are dickheads. You are quick tempered, impatient and scornful of advice. You are a prick.

TAURUS (April 22-May 20): You are practical and persistent. You have a dogged determination and work like hell. Most people think you are stubborn and bull-headed. You are nothing but a communist.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are a quick and intelligent thinker. People like you because you are bisexual. You expect too much for too little. This means that you are a cheap bastard. Geminis are notorious for thriving on incest.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are sympathetic and understanding to other people’s problems which makes you a sucker. You are always putting things off. That is why you will always be on welfare and won’t be worth a shit. Everyone in prison is a Cancer

or maybe I am naive, or maybe I project what was instilled in me as I was growing up. Any way I look at it I am still in bewilderment about this.

As aforementioned in a previous post I ranted about online guys constantly being driven by sexual thoughts and openly asking me provocative questions or stating sexual comments. I again found myself in a similar conversation today and now I am really wondering if it is perhaps me that needs to change my belief and value system.

Growing up my mom spoke pretty negatively about sex and sexual intercourse and always made petting and cuddling the thing that she enjoyed most. As children we absorb what our parents teach us and in some ways we take these messages and later incorporate them into what we experience as we get older. Sex was never something that my family openly talked about and perhaps is the reason for my heightened curiousity as a young teen. I was very secretive with my sex life because I felt that if my mom found out she would be very disappointed and this thought would have shattered me. I was also taught as a young girl getting into the so-called ‘dating’ scene that guys for the most part are only out to have sex with me. This lovely comment was said to me by my dad numerous times and for some weird reason I always had an image come to mind of him trying to sleep with and seduce my mom….gross! lol

Saturday night…sittin’ here at home in bed not doing much and for some reason I find myself thinking of you. I just want to talk to you all the time. You have become such an important person in my life and I cling to the thought that it will always be this way. I wanted to dedicate a post specifically to you because I want to display just how much you mean to me. You are always there for me when I need you and you have always been the one I could depend on regardless of what you were dealing with in your life. I always felt first and important. I could never have ever asked for someone more understanding, thoughtful, considerate, and communicative in my entire life. You truly are one of a kind. You make me feel beautiful and desired. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You are my best friend

Love you now and always.

Until next time,
