I still like my accessory the best. The best part was she couldn’t walk yet, so she scooted around on her butt. Very authentic.

Excellent point.

Did you see the lingerie episode from this current season? One of the kids fresh out of design school did exactly that and his design was a fucking mess. Thank god they kicked him off.

Holy shitballs! It’s like she’s the second coming of Geena Davis. I still remember Tim’s home visit with her and her millions of sons and her warning Tim to look out for turtle poop.

Hey, if (when) you make it on, give a shout out to Jez so we know it’s you. ;)

I know that some of it is they have to ‘play’ surprised by some of the situations but come on! They can still plan ahead a little bit.

AND! The upcharge for plus-size clothing is disproportionate to the amount of extra material needed. I occasionally shop at Old Navy, and the markup on their plus-size clothing is RIDICULOUS. I get an email for a $19 jean sale, but guess what! The plus-size jeans aren’t on sale for $19; they are on “sale” for $44.95.

I haven’t seen this episode yet (my daughter and I watch together, so it’s on the DVR still) but I know from watching past seasons that they always do this. I think it’s so rude for the designers to talk about the real people they’re designing for as if they’re totally deformed (OMG! Breasts! Eeeww!). It’s mean, but I…

He acted like the two requests of sleeves and not a short skirt completely handicapped him. Um, that’s not an extreme request. He has, for the most part, very little imagination and too big of a head to think critically about his designs.

First off - love your name (Patron Buddha of Sailors and Childless Women - speak to me!!)

There was a lingerie challenge this season where the loser was unaware that boobs bounce and designed unfortunately accordingly.

They can’t do the original form of dressmaking. Designing for a particular person used to be the norm. One of my grandaunts was a dressmaker. Once I asked her to fix a dress for me that didn’t fit right at the bust. 10 minutes later she handed me my finished dress and a cup of coffee. She was 83.

Have you ever watched the great British seeing bee? Because it’s like project runway for real people.

I love it when they get to the final four, and at least one designer is like “I have no idea what my collection is going to be!”

This makes me crazy too, I'm plus sized and work. Corporate job in a formal business attire office. Finding clothes is a nightmare. I don't understand why the assumption is that there are no large women with jobs that require nice tailored dresses or suits. Looking around my office, most of the women who hang in there…

Tacking something to the end of a 10-paragraph article showing why exactly the article shouldn’t have been written in the first place is just the specialest writing style.

There’s No Actual Benefit To Waist Trainers

No, the one good thing about waist trainers was realizing my 9 year old has been listening to me when a commercial came on for them during Little House On The Prairie. Her exact quote was, “I bet there isn’t something like this for men.”

Declaring waist trainers as empowering because they make individual female business owners money is silly. Like, would we entertain the notion that a former stay at home mom who now makes big money selling I dunno, graphic tees and signs for anti-abortion protesters is “empowering for women?” I hope we wouldn’t.

Yeeeeah, I’m going to need something a little more substantial than “It’s women’s empowerment because it benefits meeee!” before I start thinking it’s anything more than the same tired bullshit. Things that range from terrible to useless benefit the people selling them all the time - that’s capitalism. It doesn’t make…
