For the record, I sew, and it's not really a money saver, because fabric is so FREAKING expensive. Also, most of the fabric in the major retail outlets is made in China in who knows what kind of conditions, so...

I would just like to throw out there that there is such a thing as "plus" petite, although you wouldn't know it from looking at clothing. I'm 5'2" and around 175lbs (not sure exactly, I don't weigh myself) and I'm the most comfortable I've ever been in my own skin in my life. In high school I was about 30-40lbs…

I'm right on the edge of "plus sized" and also petite (5'2", aprox. size 12 pants, and busty) and finding clothes that fit is an eternal nightmare. I have a 12" difference in my bust and waist measurements, and if it fits over my bust, it's probably baggy as hell around my waist and too long. Button down shirts? …

Bra sizing and availability of "non-standard" sizes is a big pet peeve of mine... I happen to wear a size (38G) that doesn't exist from most manufacturers and large retail chains.

The A&E/BBC miniseries version (which I realize was not the first) is the only movie version of this that is necessary for the rest of ever. Colin Firth IS Mr. Darcy.

This article could have been about anything and I would have read it because Pride and Prejudice for the win.

The christening gown is kind of funny, but my ovaries just skipped a beat, because that baby is SOOO cute!

This is kind of funny... I have a male friend who's quite attractive, and a twin (also gay, both brothers), and I know at least 2 girls who swear up and down that they've had sex with him. I told him this, because I thought it was funny, and he laughed, because he's never been interested in girls. I'm not sure why…
