I kinda want to write to old navy and ask if they are on crack when it comes to sizing?
If you decide to go that route, Kat, please mention my t-shirt issue.

HA!
Dear Old Navy,
1. What's up with your sizing-on-crack? How can the exact same style vary so widely within the same size? Can you please explain how that happens?
2. What's up with every shirt being 10 inches longer than necessary?
Thanks,
eta just sent it!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I can't believe Old Navy is so brazen that they just pin their clothes to the mannequins to simulate actual tailoring or fittedness. They don't fit like that!

bon, there are SO MANY stores that do that. Here's a hint.... buy models that are "size X", and then put size X clothes on it. Gah.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I haven't had problems with ON sizes in the same exact item, but across items? OMG.
Anything that says "stretch" and isn't jeans will fit like it's at least a size (perhaps two) larger than the label. Things that are 100% cotton will fit reasonably true to size. Things that are jeans will vary across styles, with the "curvy" cut, weirdly, feeling tighter/truer to size than the "regular" cut.
In stretch, I have to go down to an 8. Anything else, most of the 10s fit fine. Get up to 12, and I risk them falling off my ass when I walk up stairs.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So there's this program/service called Rasterbator...
The Rasterbator creates huge, rasterized images from any picture. Upload an image, print the resulting multi-page pdf file and assemble the pages into extremely cool looking poster up to 20 meters in size.
So if you have a picture you really like you can blow it up to cover an entire wall... Color printing could get a little expensive, but if you can live with black and white you could use a laser printer and print for cheap.
I'll have to try this.
eta: They have lots and lots of cool galleries of what people have done with this.

Now my jeans smell funny. Sort of like that smell when you turn on a heater for the first time in a while. Toasty dust. And I washed them!!!! (They did have a perfumey smell when I bought them, but I figured something got spilled on them. Now I wonder.)

Ever want to know what your friends are thinking? What about the thoughts of cats and dogs and trees? They have to be thinking of something and now you have a chance to find out with the Portable Thought Bubble.
You've seen thought bubbles in action in comic strips and comic books and other comical environs, but now they can be anywhere you want them to be. So go and unleash the power of the mind.
