I meant that his sample is too small, decades out of date, and a summary of a data set. The population being military men isn’t relevant. No doubt he chose this source because it’s the only entity recording adult males’ measurements.

Homeboy’s source: 1988 ANTHROPOMETRIC SURVEY OF U.S. ARMY PERSONNEL: SUMMARY STATISTICS

And it’s like, barely scientific. To start, he “published” this on some kind of economics/sports blog, and of his two (2) cited sources for the multivariate analysis, one is a 1988 survey of Army Personnel sizes. Basically, the measurements of mostly men who one might argue - if you really need to go there - might be…

pilates, though?

Starring because you’re right, but thatz not okay.

King Cobra!

Ohh I feel this!! Never passed out in front of my parents, your #3 is pretty hilarious, but no doubt completely stunk at the time. My most embarrassing faints:

1. At my friend’s debutante ball. In an attempt to be frugal, I wore a gown I’d clearly outgrown in the chest area and convinced myself I could breathe just…

Um but can we just talk about Monica’s reading glasses? I was with you on the style nostalgia till I saw those specs on a chain!

Yes! Go have a look, they are spectacular.

I noticed that too. She definitely looks the leader of the pack here.

Yes! I love their tshirts! Have yet to order anything else, because I find the cuts of their silk shirts and pants too boxy, and the models are useless at visually gauging the fit on curves...

My dream wardrobe is Reformation everything with over-the-knee suede boots. Le Sigh. Have you ever ordered from them? I’m…

Incredibly so! The true cost of clothing, where the cotton/wool/silk is bought from a farmer at a fair price, the weavers/seamstresses earn fair wages, and the retailer sells them at a reasonable margin... is quite high. Everything else, like Primark, is an inferior product.

Nope, not too late! Take half that money and spend it on a few nights in the French countryside or meet up with your family!!

Oh same! Suppose I should have made the comparison more sarcastic/clear. If you’ve ever visited the website, the first things you’d say are “Cute!” and then, “HOW much for THAT dress?”

Same here. I love vintage everything, and take pride in my awesome finds! It’s such a joy to have a relative with a great wardrobe, I’ve pretty much furnished my bedroom and fitted out my clothes for the office thanks to my elegant grandmother. Very cool that your aunty has her finger on the pulse of the vintage…

Or you could shop at theReformation.com, where they care about labor, the environment, and recycle leftover bolts of fabric into $200 sundresses.

It’s worse than heteronormative bullshit, she’s just an asshole:

I’m not sure, I only watch tv online :/

YES that sounds amaze. Do Mel and Sue host??

My coworker says they’re showing a Holiday special on ABC(or PBS?), but I’ve only seen season 5 on Netflix (loved Luis!!), and watched season 6 online. I thought Nadiya’s final episode was so lovely, and I think Flora was robbed.. Iain’s chocolate well was ugly!

I love that it’s educational at the same time... learned…
