What is even happening?

In Pretty Woman JR is a size 6.

How tall is JR? Height must come into the equation. If you put a size six sheeth dress on someone 5'6" and another size six sheeth dress on a woman who's six feet tall, the taller one is going to look significantly thinner than the average sized one.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

information libertarian

I am 5'11" and people think I am thinner than I actually am (I am an 8/10) because of my height and narrow frame (shoulders/hips). But runway models are hella thin.

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

I'm 5'8 and was up till recently a pretty solid 6 with forays into 4. For perspective.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think my favorite line from The Devil Wears Prada was the one about how 8 is the new 12. Made me laff.

There was hardly anyone in my polling place just now, except, of course, for at my machine. And the woman looking up the names had serious issues with the alphabet. Granted, she had an accent that made me think our alphabet was not the first one she learned, but why didn't she trade jobs with the other guy?? Also, why did the lady ahead of me have to make a big stink about how her name is Claude not Claudia, when it was right in the book?? I'm just saying.

I'm 5'9" and size 12. When I lost weight, I thought I looked too thin for my frame when I was shrinking out of size 10.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I just realized my parents have been in Hawaii for four days. I am a terrible daughter.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

From my perspective on the Rotund Couch, if you can wear a bikini and look like those Aussie models do in them, YOU AIN'T FAT.

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

I think I can be a four these days without looking post-apocalyptic. I just don't want to have that little muscle.

Apparently I'm looking a bit musclebound these days, but I think that's only to people I get to hit.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

A hair short of 5'5", and when not carrying an extra human I'm anywhere from a 4 to a 10, depending on the brand and style. The 4 end of the scale is definitely utter lying-label bullshit -- pre-pregnancy I had a pair of size 4 slacks that were roomier and comfier than a pair of size 8 jeans from high school (approx. 1985) that I could barely squeeze into anymore.
