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.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At Trader Joe's last night, I apparently decided my life should be more like a cocktail party. I'm having mushroom turnovers for dinner.

Now that I'm broaching 8, I get more confused than ever. The whole small/medium/large thing is weird now that I can add large to the smalls and mediums that actually fit. Being just small and medium made a lot more sense, but still not all that much.

On of the nice things about wearing's men's Levi's since high school is that I can be pretty sure I am mostly the same size, although store sizes are changing. I was always a 10 in college, and now am reliably an 8 and occasionally smaller (various insane designers and pregnancy status excepted). But a Levi's 501 32w/34l is always the same.

We who shop in the 20+ section of the size pool laugh at those of you fretting over single digits.
edit: not that you're fretting, but merely wondering.

I don't think anybody's fretting; I at least am marvelling over the inconsistency of clothing sizes.

Who's fretting? I'm guessing size inconsistency is the same for women of all sizes.

I'd claim I edited to make flea look silly (though adorable), but I hadn't refreshed my screen to see flea's comment before I edited.
