And also it helps to transition to acting as a black American if you’re a movie star first. That’s a really high bar, compared to some people who just happened to win the genetic lotto (models, children of high ranking showbiz people).

Yes.

I am surprised to have seen him at church a few times, given that the church is not conservative.

3/5 would be 0.60!

I lived in the Midwest and agree with your second paragraph.

It might help to look at clothes aimed at an older demographic. They are more modest and more expensive, but they are more likely to have better structure and understand the needs of adult women.

They have a line of dresses for people who are 2 sizes bigger on the bottom than on top!!!!

Given that shape differences between women of the same clothing size can get more extreme as the size goes up, what is the solution to providing well-fitting clothes for the majority of American women? Not a troll, truly interested in an answer.

Right! Past a certain age, some seasons or years you don’t buy much clothing b/c nothing suits or interests you.

corporette.com discusses office fashion, and they have a segment on your shape. the prices tend to be on the higher side, but if that’s not an issue, there will likely be several brands listed.

I like wearing lightweight sacks, especially clothes that trail behind you as you walk without dragging on the ground.

Once a woman does not have to wear button up shirts, there are so many other blouse options. Button ups are hard to fit right.

Why would a woman with large breasts wear a bralette? Those things are clearly flimsy. As a person with tiny tits its nice to see choices that don’t look like they came from the kid’s section.

Here! It’s so much fun to be called “Sir” when you are tall, flat-chested and black, 3 characteristics people code as male.

You don’t have to show me your parts, but an adult should have the appropriate identification for legal reasons and dealing with the authorities. 

Men are considered the standard humans, while women are considered a lesser offshoot.

Due to the harsh realities of violence and the criminal justice system, many poor black men are in jail, and a significant number died at an early age. So, women outnumber men. This means that men are able to set the terms of negotiations when it comes to sex due to the laws of supply and demand. Many men don’t want…

There are black Americans who go to Julliard and the Yale School of Drama and the like. However, it seems the best way for a black American to have a career as an actor or a fashion designer, is to first be a music superstar. The barriers to us entering certain jobs is ridiculous!

Fashion has been erasing us for at least 20 years or so, choosing models who are either with a background like Alek Wek, or people who only have one black parent. It’s also telling that mold-breaker Obama was both mixed, with a black parent who wasn’t American.

I think the idea of having less competition for jobs due to anti-immigrant policies is another factor.
