oh my word I should do a Jersey edition! I moved here from Singapore- So it should satisfy the 'expat' requirement. :D plus I always wanted to know what I'd look like with a Snooki pouf.

Yay!!! I love this. I travel to Accra and Shanghai almost every month for work and would love to submit one for another ex-pat post in the future. It would give me a good reason to get out of the hotel/office and have a makeup adventure at the mall.

Canadians have an advantage in that we get Commonwealth shipping rates from the UK. The pound conversion is a bit of a bitch right now, but I'd rather not show up in the same piece of clothing as 10 other plus size women.

For the ladies that have a big difference between hip/waist and big thighs (oh heeeey), I recommend Ann Taylor. I have 41 inch hips and a 28 inch waist.

Maybe you get get over your superiority for a minute and be happy that Mom & Baby are alive and well. Or continue to be a misanthrope. They're so much fun.

I LIVE IN VANCOUVER. THE GROUSE GRIND IS A DEATH TRAP. IF SOMEONE TALKED TO ME WHILE I WAS CLIMBING THAT CRAP MOUNTAIN, I WOULD PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE.

I give it to my soon to be US History students in their last grading period. They are soon to be high school seniors. A few do very well. They are often the children of immigrants.

She had just gotten married so OF COURSE SHE IS A FUCKING EXPERT ON ALL THINGS BRIDAL despite the fact that the maid of honor and another woman in the party are also married and…

Ha! No. Even when you know the rules, they change them to trip you up on purpose so the can watch you fall and mock you then too.

Just as well my college had no greek system, because a sorority would not have been for me. Since everyone had to make their social life without greek life, nobody was at a disadvantage for not participating. (And we had plenty of fun, too.)

It might not be literal rules for who you're supposed to be. In my chapter, sly catty shit ran wild underneath the film of togetherness and positivity. Clear groups of friends had no room for anyone who didn't fit in.

Ecaxtly! I have a big birthday to go to in a couple weeks and I've been trolling my favorite online spots because you have to really look to find what you're looking for. And I can't find anything. I mean I can, but not the same as going to ANY store at the mall and finding something. So to add one more buffer to my…

Oh my gosh. I just recently got a questionnaire from Gabi about what I'm looking for in a plus size line. That statement from Target directly references items in the questionnaire and is along the lines of some of my responses. This bodes well for getting what we really want from a plus-size line.
