Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I thought of you especial.

You are too kind.

Is the key to shrunken the not closing in front?

That's part of it, but the shrunken jackets I've seen also have smaller-than-usual lapels, and are are barely waist-length.

You left out the fact that the sleeves are too short, too. So yeah, ill-fitting alone does not a shrunked jacket make. It needs to be ill-fitting in precisely the right way. (Sorry Alibelle, I calls 'em as I sees 'em.)

I have no idea what I'm going to wear after this pregnancy. I grew out of some of my maternity clothes months ago, and yet am still wearing some of the transition wear I bought after the last pregnancy. I suspect I will be spending the summer in exercise/sweat pants. So I'll be a big fashion cow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Juicy Couture. Or, to translate, LA has the trendiest exercise clothes I ever did see, and they're worn so often.

Just get Juicy iron-ons for your existing stuff. You'll be golden!

I don't know. I'm not offended. I mean, my sleeves are the right length, but it is otherwise pretty fitted, and just goes to the waist. And I like it, even if other people don't. I mean, I don't understand the seventies, and even a lot of the eighties, for that matter, AT ALL, so it really takes all kinds.

It's because you're twelve, sweetling.

Wait, no, I don't get them either.

Alibelle, I sent you email.

My memory of the 80s was that a lot of the fashion was considered a deliberate joke even then. But my memory may be tainted.

I also really disliked the grunge of the nineties. I mean, it was called grunge, for heaven's sake. Eww.

It's because you're twelve, sweetling.

So?

Wait, no, I don't get them either.

Exactly.

Alibelle, I sent you email.

Replied!

That's because ita and Jilli broke you.

Well, if 80s fashion was an in-joke, I was on the outside.

I took some of that crap seriously (off the shoulder, dropped waists, and perhaps too much neon).

Yuck.

Grunge didn't make a dent where I was, so no biggie to me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Big flourescent pink sweatshirt with RELAX!! on it, black stirrup pants, black suede ankle boots. Favorite outfit of 5th grade.
